The pool is for kids and there are no reclining chairs. We couldn’t eat any food around the pool. I sent two messages but there were no answers. We are very disappointed in the food situations around the hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Our room, a combination of Western and Japanese styles, had a persistent odor that charcoal and air freshener only temporarily masked. The Western beds, consisting of a box spring and mattress topper, were uncomfortable and caused back pain. While the view was excellent, the food in the main dining room was mediocre; the steamed snapper, in particular, was overpoweringly sweet and salty due to an unbalanced soy sauce and sugar mixture.

施設は古いが、ある程度ポイントを抑えてリニューアルしているので、私はそこまで気にならなかった。 挨拶をよくしてくれる、応対が丁寧、などスタッフの接客は全体的に好印象だった。 キッズルームは広く、遊び道具も充実していて、隔離された場所なので、子どもたちが思いっきり騒ぐことができ、楽しんでいた。 朝食は地元の料理を取り入れつつ、それなりにメニューも豊富、あら汁とカレーが美味しくて何度もお代わりをして食べ過ぎてしまった。昨今インフレを考えるとやむなしだが、通常料金の値段を見てすごくコスパが良いかと言われると少し微妙かも。（込みのプランだった） すごか良かった！というほどではないが、全体として悪くなかったので、機会があれば次回は夏のシーズンに泊まってみたい。

Hotel ist recht in die Jahre gekommen, teilweise heruntergekommen. Wir waren im September dort, da gab es teotz tollem Wetter keinen Liegestuhlverleih mehr. Bars/Restaurants im Hotel hatten teilweise zu und in der Umgebung gab es wenig. Der Bus fährt zurück nur bis 19:30. Uber gibt es dort nicht. Insgesamt war das Hotel überteuert für das, was man bekommt.

白浜ビーチに直結。全客室のバルコニが海に面しているのでバルコニーからはご来光、大きな星空には感動しました。また窓を開けるとさざ波の音が聞こえる。遮光カーテンが熱く、まぶしい朝日も遮り部屋が暗くなるので、よく休めました。お風呂は男女同じ造りのようで、大きな窓は浜に面している。 プールもあり、子供の遊具、ベンチやパラソル、シャワーはもちろん、カフェも併設。シャトルバスのサービス、朝食にはビュッフェもあり。夕飯については、予約制。
