Retreat Villa Iki

We stayed as a family for our daughter’s birthday and had a wonderful time. We love campfires, so we were very happy that plenty of firewood was prepared.While adding logs to keep the fire going, we were able to relax and enjoy watching the flames.The dog run was spacious, and our dogs looked like they were having a great time. Since it’s on slightly higher ground and there are kites around, you can’t take your eyes off them.Because it was cold, we couldn’t stay outside for long.There is a dog-only Room connected to the living room, and it was spacious enough even for large dogs.We were a little disappointed that the bedroom is upstairs, away from the dogs. Considering hygiene, though, it’s understandable.It was difficult to set the bath temperature.The dining table has a built-in hot plate, which is a big plus because you can eat grilled food while it’s still warm.I’m not usually a fan of saunas, but I really enjoyed this one. It’s great that there is a tub outside the sauna where you can fill water or hot water.Since we visited during very cold weather with below-freezing temperatures, we didn’t use the cold plunge.Everything was very clean, and the grounds were well maintained with thorough cleaning and pruning throughout. We had a very comfortable stay.Thank you very much.

We stayed with 2 adults and 2 dogs, and it was incredibly clean, spacious, and amazing!First of all, we regretted only booking for one night. There were so many activities like bonfires, the beach, BBQs, saunas, and sunsets that we tried to fit everything in.Check-in and check-out were very easy. We had some trouble during the bonfire but quickly got in touch with the manager by phone who provided excellent support!A convenience store is about a 3-minute drive away.Although we brought supplies beforehand, the dog run had poop bags available as well as diapers prepared. The space for dogs was large enough to make us very satisfied. They even provided odorless trash bins! There’s a nearby beach too, and plenty of towels were prepared for us—very thoughtful!We looked forward to BBQing but gave up because there were too many bugs during summer. The outdoor BBQ area had benches and tables; however, there seemed to be leftover sauce stains or something sticky on them which attracted ants everywhere. We couldn’t sit outside at all so ended up using an indoor grill instead! Despite reading other reviews saying you can’t grill indoors—it worked perfectly fine for us! Plus it was cool inside while enjoying our BBQ meal comfortably.The abundance of bugs is understandable given the natural surroundings; however insect repellents like sprays or mosquito coils were thoughtfully provided near the entrance by management—great attention to detail!The sauna reached an impressive 105°C—a proper sauna rather than just an add-on feature! However note that water used as a cold bath might feel lukewarm; bringing block ice would help if you prefer colder water. The freezer is spacious enough too! Additionally available are appliances such as rice cookers/toasters/plastic wraps etc., making things convenient.The villa left such a clean impression without even a single strand of hair visible anywhere—but unfortunately one major downside: both futons & pillows emitted unbearable odors (possibly dampness/vomit-like smell). Towels smelled fine though—but due solely due this issue—we barely managed three hours sleep total… Please address this problem urgently because otherwise everything else makes staying here worth repeating annually with multiple-night stays—it truly felt special overall ( ; ; )Lastly slightly off-topic yet nearby "ponchis_pizza" serves wood-fired pizzas absolutely deliciously!! Reservations required since walk-ins depend entirely upon luck—highly recommend visiting if possible!!
