I really enjoyed my stay here. You can tell they put a lot of thought into designing a beautiful and comfortable hotel. The ocean view from the room and balcony was great for sunsets. The staff were friendly and helpful, I got a booklet in English with all important information which was very useful. The beach is very nice but it was a bit dirty when I visited, which is not the fault of the hotel. I had a very relaxing stay and would love to come back.

Amazing Stay!

We had an amazing time staying at Il Mare Surfhotel Wacasa. We were greeted by the owner who immediately sat us down on the patio overlooking the water and brought us peach sodas and our choice of popsicles! He took pictures of us enjoying the view and when we were ready to check into our room we came inside. Our room was INCREDIBLE! Not only the beachfront balcony but the space was decorated with designer furniture that matched the lobby as well. We made fresh coffee each morning then went to the restaurant next door for a private breakfast served on the terrace. The food was amazing and the waiter was so kind! We spoke with the owner every day at least once, he is such a friendly person and you can tell he loves hosting and interacting with guests! I love the photos he took of us each day and he made sure to email them to us shortly after. This hotel was more than just a place to stay, it was such a lovely experience and we hope to come back one day!

Un magnifique hôtel avec vue directe sur l'océan et le bruit des vagues pour s'endormir. Le personnel en place était aux petits soins avec nous. L'hôtel est très bien situé, tout juste en face d'un sentier qui permet d'accéder à différents parc, tout en longeant la plage (attention, certaines plages ne sont pas toutes propres, mais celle devant l'hôtel est impeccable). Nous avons aussi longé un sentier boisé dans l'un des parcs et y avons croisé un cerf. Bref, un endroit parfait pour aller se promener ou profiter de l'océan et ensuite relaxer sur son balcon en contemplant la mer. Il y a aussi 2 restaurants à moins de 30 secondes de marche; un restaurant de nouilles et un restaurant Italien (que j'ai adoré, la nourriture y est délicieuse) qui sert aussi des plats locaux. Les gens sur place sont très prévenants, s'assurent que nous ne manquons de rien et vont au delà de nos attentes. Des vélos et du matériel de plage sont aussi mis à notre disposition. Ce fût clairement notre coup de coeur au Japon
