Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff offering excellent service. The location was convenient, but the dining options were slightly limited. Overall, it was great value for money.
The hotel is situated on a peninsula with stunning ocean and mountain views, offering a quiet countryside atmosphere. The rooms feature huge floor-to-ceiling windows, providing a perfect spot to relax with a cold beer. The service includes thoughtful gestures like lending a car and basic English-speaking staff, though it lacks some advanced communication. The location is ideal for a serene getaway, with occasional challenges for those relying on local transportation. Dining offers a delightful buffet mix of Japanese and Western dishes, perfect for fueling up before adventures. The facilities cater well to guests' needs, ensuring a comfortable stay.
