sundance resort Atami

The onsen is divided by men and women since bathing is done nude. It opens from 6 a.m., closes, then opens again in the evening until midnight. There are hair products and body wash there, and the hot water makes it feel a bit like a tea ceremony. The hotel also has a shop in the lobby, massage chairs, DVDs, afternoon popcorn (one cup), kids' activities, nightly movies, shared laundry with soap and softener, and an oven and grill for cooking your own food. Breakfast and dinner at the restaurant need to be ordered ahead, though you can get other items during the day. An izakaya is another option for a Japanese-style dinner. We were there for a week as Wyndham Owners visiting from overseas. There was an extra charge of 1,000 yen per night. Our room had a TV, and we got Netflix working by Miracast, but it wouldn't load from the remote's Netflix or Prime buttons. The air conditioning worked well and there was a dehumidifier. Tea, coffee, powdered creamer, towels, a hairbrush, razor, and toothbrush were replenished daily. The building's decor feels dated, and children running around can sound like elephants. If you can live with that, the stay is enjoyable. For supplies, Aeon supermarket is walkable and sells food, medicine, clothes, and more, but the route is an easy downhill walk and a steep climb back. There's also a small shop in the foyer for basics and gifts. We walked from Kinomiya Station. It's around 15 minutes, with a steep downhill stretch followed by an uphill one. If you're not fit or have mobility issues, take a taxi. I took photos of the walking directions. Look for the first sign on a pole, with English at the top, then continue past the car parks to the entrance.
