far from local station; shuttle times not often

Expect great Japanese hospitality. Room was spacious. Two bed option was great for traveling friends. Had seating area with table and amazing view from room. Did not have access path to beach. The shuttle was infrequent and had to be reserved the day prior before 5 pm. The hotel is about a 10 minute ride from the Minabe station and in 2019 cost 1780 JPY. The pool is open starting in July, so although it was a resort, there was no swimming option. Overall, reasonable option with great view if that’s what you’re looking for.

This is an excellent hotel with large but very average rooms. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the hotel has a wonderful, large onsen (Japanese bath) both indoors and outdoors, but the restaurant is very average

部屋数に対してエレベーターが少なく、終始混雑する。温泉も合宿に来たようで、人がたくさんいて芋を洗うような感覚に陥り、銭湯に来ている感覚だった。 　ビュッフェも時間を分けているのだが非常に混雑、どこに並べばいいのか分からないような形でホテルのシステムが悪いと感じた。 　ラウンジでお酒を飲めるはいいのだが、それに対して料金が上がっているように感じ、お得感はなかった。

変な体験が多い

全室禁煙のはずが、とにかくタバコ臭くて近隣からの臭いがすごかった。夜中まで騒ぎ声がしたり。風呂を出たロビーで、目を離した一瞬の隙で下駄箱の鍵が2人分なくなってしまい困りました。他も大なり小なり変な事が多く困惑。すべて、ホテルの方が悪いのでは無くて、ゲストのやっていることですが、良かったかと言われると辛かった。
