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

地點頗為偏僻，南部町亦冇乜特別嘅景點，所以入住呢間酒店，都應該係純粹放空同休息嘅地方。一泊二食浸溫泉，自駕遊嘅旅客可先去白濱再入住呢間酒店。約40-50分鐘車程。 酒店員工服務到位，由於剛裝修完，設施都頗新，下午有茶點、深夜有宵夜，食下 snack 飲下酒，早餐及晚餐自助餐質素不錯，當然同香港冇得比，但以日本嘅規格算性價比高。（我冇試過喺日本試過高級自助餐，只能以過往入住溫泉酒店經驗去判斷） 當日入住日式房，環境OK。個人建議可增設多啲娛樂設施，好讓住客有多啲活動選擇。

子連れが多く、ホテルの雰囲気も明るいので気軽に滞在できました。だだ、バイキングは子供向けメニューが少なかったり、露天風呂は段差が大きかったりと、子供に優しい宿というわけではありませんでした。
