While our stay at this location was short, it was fantastic. They have put in quite a bit of work to make the hotel clean and well taken care of, they rent electric assist bicycles to get to town for groceries or exploring. My family loved the hot springs. Laundry onsite. Beautiful beach nearby, although not great for swimming or snorkeling it was very pretty, quiet, and private. Staff is incredibly helpful. They sell packages that include breakfast and dinner, but not lunch. The buffets are HUGE with tons of food and drink options. I 100% would stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The facility definitely shows its age and feels a bit run down. The room itself was spacious, but the carpet was noticeably dirty. During our stay, the hotel was very busy with lots of guests, which made the atmosphere lively. The vibe at night was enjoyable, especially at the free drink bar. The onsen was decent, with both indoor and outdoor baths, though it did get quite crowded.

The hotel is big and the room is big too for our family. The service is really good and they offer free drinks in the lobby. The hotel is old but comfortable. We need to wear our slippers in the hallway because it is a Japanese hotel. My kids enjoyed their comic room even if they don't read Japanese.

Actually its all good ecxept for the check in process. We arrived before 3pm then when the time to check in at 3pm there is a long line in the reception .We had to wait for 35 to 40 mins to received the keys . I think they need to add more staff on their check in process to have smooth check in procedure.

We arrived about 45 minutes ahead of check in time after driving straight from Kansai Airport. The parking lot had about 10 cars in it and the lobby was deserted. I was surprised we were not permitted to check in early and had to wait for the official check in time. Understandable if hotel was busy but it seemed very odd to make us wait. Otherwise, place was generally ok.

施設の綺麗さや清掃の徹底、スタッフの細やかな気配りは非常に洗練されており、気持ちよく過ごすことができま。 食事については、施設の立地する地域ならではの食材や料理を、より楽しめる内容にしていただきたいです。特にマグロやイカソーメンについては、素材の良さや鮮度を十分に感じられず、期待していただけに残念でした。 地元で水揚げされた魚介類や旬の食材を積極的に取り入れ、刺身や焼き物、郷土料理など、ここでしか味わえないメニューが増えると嬉しいです。また、食材の産地や料理の特徴を紹介することで、「この土地に来たからこそ味わえる食事」という特別感も高まると思います。

家族（大人4人、子供1歳〜4歳）8人で利用させていただきました。到着後に子供達とプールに行きました。屋外プールまで約50メートル程離れており整備された通路があるものの、凸凹しているので足が痛くて結局、通路から外れた少し芝生がある所からプールに向かいました。プールに行くならビーチサンダルは必須ですね。後、更衣室も小さく、ロッカーはあるけど扉鍵付きではないので、荷物も持って行かなければなりませんよ。 welcomeドリンクは、アルコールやソフトドリンクは無料で飲み放題なので、プールの後やお風呂後、1日の思い出を家族で語り合いながら喉の乾きを潤すにはすごくいいと思います。 夕食や朝食はビュッフェスタイルで美味しく頂 きました。ただ、小さなお子様の料理は隣の別会場にあります。大人が食べるにはメイン会場まで行かなくてはならず、 大勢の方が宿泊されているので仕方ないと思うけれど、小さなお子様がおられる場合はメイン会場か別会場の往復で料理を取りに行く事になりますよ。 我々が宿泊した部屋はオーシャンビューの和室 で畳め傷みがあり、襖も開けにくく綺麗な部屋とは言い難いですが、カーテン開けれは海岸や海や山、夜は海の向こうの電気の灯りが見えて綺麗で景色は良かったです。
