Escape to Paradise: Hotel Sunshine Tokushima Awaits! – A Review That's Actually Useful (and a Little Crazy)
Okay, folks, buckle up. Because I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Tokushima, and let me tell you, "Escape to Paradise: Hotel Sunshine Tokushima Awaits!"… well, it mostly lives up to the hype. This isn't your sterile, perfectly-filtered Instagram review. This is the real deal, warts and all (and trust me, there were a few… in a good way!).
Let's Talk Accessibility (Because It Actually Matters):
Right off the bat, HUGE props for Accessibility. The hotel has Facilities for disabled guests, and trust me, that’s a huge deal in Japan. Getting around can be… challenging, to say the least. Elevator is a life-saver. I didn't personally need it, but I saw a few people using it, and the relief on their faces was palpable. Exterior corridor and Wheelchair accessible options are definitely a plus. The car park [free of charge] is convenient.
Staying Safe (Because These Days, It's a Thing):
This part? They nailed it. Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. Rooms sanitized between stays? Double-check. I felt genuinely safe. The staff understands the whole Physical distancing of at least 1 meter thing, and there's Hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE. They go the extra mile with Staff trained in safety protocol and Hygiene certification. Honestly, the level of caution was impressive. Rooms sanitized between stays and Room sanitization opt-out available.
Rooms: My Own Personal Little Bubble (Mostly):
Okay, let's be honest. I'm a sucker for a good room. And the Air conditioning was a MUST in the Tokushima heat. The Air conditioning in public area also. My room had Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathroom phone, Bathtub (yes!), and Blackout curtains (thank god for those). The Coffee/tea maker saved my mornings (especially after those late-night adventures – more on those later!). I appreciated the Free bottled water, and the Hair dryer was a lifesaver after a dip in the pool. Plus the Desk, Ironing facilities and Laptop workspace were ideal. The Internet access – wireless (and the glorious Free Wi-Fi) was a godsend. The Mini bar was nicely stocked (though I may have raided it a bit…). Non-smoking rooms are a given, and thank goodness, because I hate the smell of smoke! Private bathroom, Seating area, and Shower were all fantastic. The Soundproofing was also a godsend from the noisy neighbors.
Food (Oh, the Food!):
Alright, here's where things get interesting. The Breakfast [buffet] was… well, it was a buffet. The Asian breakfast was surprisingly good, but the Western breakfast options were a little… basic. They had a Vegetarian restaurant, which was a bonus, and the Coffee shop was a lifesaver for my caffeine addiction. There's Room service [24-hour], which is always a win. I'm not sure what was so important there was a Bottle of water but, hey, I did appreciate it! There was also a Poolside bar and Happy hour which were great.
But. BUT. The Desserts in restaurant were absolutely divine. I had this one thing, a kind of strawberry shortcake, and I swear, it was like a tiny, edible slice of heaven. I went back three times just for that thing. It’s the things like the Salad in restaurant that make me want to go back to the hotel.
Things to Do (and Places to Chill):
Okay, this is where Hotel Sunshine really shines… or should I say, sunshines? Swimming pool [outdoor]? Yes, and with a view that made me want to cry. They also have a Sauna, Steamroom, and Spa/sauna. Swimming pool. They even had a Foot bath! I spend hours near the Pool with view. I didn't get to the Fitness center, because, you know, vacation. But… there are Massage options! And a Body scrub, and a Body wrap! The Spa looked amazing. The Gym/fitness was also available. And I'm pretty sure they have a Couple's room – wink, wink.
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter:
They've got Air conditioning in public area. Cash withdrawal is available. You can use the Concierge. There's a Convenience store because, let's be real, everyone forgets something. Daily housekeeping is a godsend. Doorman. Dry cleaning. Elevator is very impressive. They have Food delivery. There is a Gift/souvenir shop. Invoice provided. And the staff, bless them, are fantastic. I was particularly grateful for the Luggage storage because I arrived way too early and was too tired to wander around.
For the Kids (Because, Well, Families):
They're Family/child friendly, and they have Babysitting service! Which I imagine would be a lifesaver. They also have Kids meal which is a plus.
The Quirks (Because Every Hotel Has Them):
- The Shrine: Okay, this was a bit of a surprise. There's a small Shrine on the property. I'm not sure why, but it added a certain… mystique?
- The Terrace: Gorgeous. Just… gorgeous. I spent far too much time here with a book and a cocktail.
- The View: Honestly, the view from my room was worth the price of admission alone. Breathtaking.
The Not-So-Perfect Moments:
- Internet: The Internet [LAN] was… spotty. The Internet was the best thing ever, but it could be temperamental at times. Just a heads-up.
- Getting Around: The Car power charging station was a little bit of a hassle.
- No Pets: Unfortunately, Pets allowed unavailable
Overall Impression – Is It Worth It?:
Look, "Escape to Paradise: Hotel Sunshine Tokushima Awaits!" is definitely worth it. Despite the occasional hiccups, the positives far outweigh the negatives. The staff are lovely, the location is great, the amenities are top-notch, and the food… well, the food is an experience. It's not perfect, nothing is, but it's a damn good hotel.
Anecdote:
I remember one morning, I just woke up, went to the buffet, grabbed a cup of coffee and just stared out at the scenic view. The world was at peace at that moment.

G Hotel El Alamein: Your Egyptian Paradise Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's meticulously planned travel itinerary. This is the real deal. My brain on Tokushima. And let me tell you, it's a wild ride. Hotel Sunshine Tokushima, here we come! (Or, at least, here I come. You're welcome to tag along, but I'm warning you, I'm a mess.)
Day 1: Arrival, Ramen, & Regret (Probably)
- 14:00 - 16:00: Arrival & Disaster Zone - Hotel Sunshine Tokushima. Okay, first things first: finding the hotel. I, uh, may or may not have gotten lost at the station immediately. Apparently, "a short walk" isn't in my vocabulary. Finally stumble into the lobby sweating and slightly disoriented. (ME: First impression: Clean. Very clean. Like, I hope I don't track ANY dirt in. Ah, the pressure!), Check-in smooth as butter (thank god. I needed that). Room… tiny. But hey, it's clean, and the view (once I figure out which direction is which) looks… promising. Spoiler alert: My internal monologue is already calling this a "potentially disaster-filled adventure."
- 16:00 - 17:00: De-briefing & Ramen Recon. Unpack (or, ahem, attempt to unpack. I'll probably live out of my suitcase for the next week, don't judge me!). Then, the REAL mission: finding authentic Tokushima ramen. I'd been fantasizing about it for weeks. The internet promised me heaven in a bowl. I'm already salivating. Research suggests a place called "Awa Ramen." (ME: Praying to the ramen gods it's not a tourist trap.)
- 17:00 - 19:00: Ramen Nirvana… or Total Disappointment? Okay, so I found the ramen place. (ME: Victory dance, quiet enough not to scare the locals) The queue was long, which is usually a good sign, right? The ramen arrived, fragrant and steaming. And… oh sweet Buddha, it was good. Seriously, life-altering good. The broth, the noodles, the perfectly cooked egg… I nearly cried. (ME: Maybe I did. Shhh.) Double-Down Moment: The chashu pork. Oh, the chashu. I ordered seconds. Everything was perfect!
- 19:00 - 20:00: Walk it Off (Probably Not). Stuffed. Utterly, gloriously stuffed. Stroll the neighborhood in the twilight, trying to work off the ramen. Already plotting my return tomorrow.
- 20:00 Onwards: Hotel Hangout & The Dreaded "Travel Journal." Back to the hotel to collapse. Try to start a travel journal. (ME: Always a good intention, never achieved. Let’s see if this lasts… Feel sleepy from the food, probably going to sleep.
Day 2: Indigo Dyeing & A Lesson in Patience (Or, Lack Thereof)
- 08:00 - 09:00: Breakfast Buffet & Emotional Baggage. Hotel breakfast. (ME: Hoping for more than just toast and questionable eggs.) My inner monologue starts thinking about what to do today. I should be getting ready, but I am not mentally prepared.
- 09:00 - 12:00: Indigo Dyeing at a Workshop. The plan: indigo dyeing! Tokushima is famous for its indigo, so naturally, I wanted to get my hands blue. Found a local workshop (after some more minor navigational mishaps, of course). (ME: The dye itself smells earthy and kind of magical. I mean, what I am doing here?.)
- The Process: The process was fascinating and messy (which I embraced!). The intricate folding techniques. It was definitely going to take time. (ME: Definitely NOT my forte. I'm a get-it-done-quick kind of girl.)
- 12:00-13:00: Lunch & Perspective. Grabbed a quick local lunch. The food was good. I was still buzzing in excitement from indigo dyeing experience
- 13:00-14:00: Walk around the area.
- 14:00 Onwards: Free time More exploring and more things to do. Maybe another Ramen?
Day 3: Awa Odori Festival Attempt (Or Just Watching From a Window)
- All Day: Attempting to see Awa Odori. It's the Awa Odori Festival! I was told it was the highlight of visiting the town.
- Reality Bite: The festivals are difficult to see. You need advance tickets, which I clearly didn't get. (ME: Sigh.) So, the likely scenario? Watching the parade from a crowded street corner, elbowing my way for a glimpse!
- (Maybe) The Plan: Figure out where to go, and cross my fingers. I will try.
- Evening: Post-Festival (Maybe). If I even see the parade, I'll feel so lucky.
- **(ME: *Emotional Rollercoaster alert.* I'm expecting sensory overload. I'm expecting to be utterly swept away. I'm also expecting to get completely lost and grumpy.*)
- Late: Back to the hotel, exhausted and likely covered in someone else's sweat.
Day 4: Day Trip to… (Oh, Right, I Need to Figure That Out)
- Morning: Planning Debacle. Okay, total honesty: I haven't planned anything for today. (ME: Procrastination level: Expert.) I'm probably still recovering from the emotional intensity.
- Most of the Day: Actually Get it Together and Take a Trip. The plan is to take a trip. To where? I am still in the thinking process.
- Evening: Reflection and Planning for the Future. Back to the hotel, and reflecting on my day.
Day 5: Random Activities & Farewell Ramen (Sob!)
- Morning: Whatever, It Doesn't Matter. Waking up, feeling the tiredness.
- Most of the Day: Random Acts of Tokushima. Probably, take in the places that I have yet to see.
- Evening: Farewell Ramen & Existential Dread. One last ramen run. (ME: I am NOT going to leave without my fix.) Then, back to the hotel to pack.
- **(ME: *The emotional hit. The packing. The knowing. The knowing I have to leave….*)
- Late: Reflecting. Writing. Maybe crying.
Day 6: Departure (Goodbye, Sunshine!)
- Morning: Final Breakfast & Tears (Probably). Check-out. (ME: Trying to hold it together as I say goodbye to my room…).
- Departure; Emotional Breakdown. I'll be sad to go. (ME: I'm already missing ramen.)
Final Thoughts (and Possibly a Few Tears)
Look, this itinerary is more of a suggestion than a strict schedule. Things will go wrong. I will get lost. I will eat too much ramen. I will probably cry (happy tears, mostly). But that's the point, right? It's about embracing the chaos, the mess, the sheer humanness of travel. And if I find some hidden gems in Tokushima along the way, even better. Wish me luck! (I'll probably need it.)
