According to the neighbor and the staffs, they opened April 2024 from previous old hotel with minor renovation. Very beautiful location and spacious property, but unfortunately the place needs improvement. 1 The carpet, specially, spa area smells as fungus. 2 So many steps are very dangerous for all people. For example, inside room bath have to step up around 10 inches, and public spa entrance also has big step when we enter. If the hotel in US, it will be not pass safety reason and ADA. No dining option besides around 9,000JPA buffet at night. The buffet was superb, including alcohol and fine deserts, but I don’t drink so the price is unreasonable for me and vegetarian. You need rent a car, other wise you can not go out from the area. A shuttle bus to go to the high way bus station is available. A souvenir shop available, but it is not convenient store, so if you need snacks and other things, highly recommend to get in town before go to the hotel. Good luck!
michael.friendsSep 02, 2024 Firtst room we got was far from the one that looked like on their advertising.
So we got back to the front desk to complain and we received another room.
The new room we got was slightly better and we kept it.
However the room was decorated without any coziness and the accommodations were average and very poor for a japanese Hotel and the price we paid.
Bathroom was nice though and it was clean.
We paid almost 700€ in total for two nights which was a complete ripoff.
Would never come back again!
bad communication on front desk (don.t speak English)
Will never forget the place the people and the food so amazing
The hotel is very clean and well kept. However their dinner buffet option is expensive @ ¥6,000 but the quality is worth ¥800. The food is put plainly, lower than average. It’s much better spent taking a taxi and going into town.
In addition one of the bath facilities was under construction making women and men hours timed. They still charged us “nyutouzei” which is bath tax. They should be lowering this or ridding it during the inconvenience.
Otherwise the rooms are very clean.
想像以上の施設、お風呂と食事の充実さでとても素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。スタッフの方々もとても親切で丁寧な対応に感謝です
大変お世話になりました
Nice stay. However very rude waiter at dinner spoiled the trip
Best place to have a nice vacation.
Good view of ocean..
The sea view was great and there were a lot of pths for walking.
The Housekeeping staff was less than efficient - floor was never vacuumed.
two weeks stay in MINAMIBOSO
I stayed in the hotel for 14 nights, the hotel has everything: slippers, AC, wireless, TV, etc. Hotel has a hot spring that open till very late, I enjoyed it every night. I had a room that with sea view, which was great. And next to the hotel there is a beach next to the sea that you can enjoy beautiful sunrise/sunset. The hotel provides breakfast, I personally like it very much, it also has a few restaurants, provides typical Japanese food, it was moderate and it was not cheap.
Was pleasantly surprised to learn that this hotel is infant friendly.
Breakfast buffet also included kewpie baby food
Wonderful stay at a seaside resort
The hotel is located at the tip of a small peninsula in Minamiboso. It’s hard to get around without a car and restaurants in the area close early during the week. However there are a ton of good seafood places nearby and the area is just beautiful. A great place to relax and go for day trips.
It was ok, but no coffee in the room.
Even numbered rooms are facing to the ocean, but odds numbered rooms are poor view. Breakfast was good, but poor quality in Izakaya restaurant with high price.
Lovely resort with amazing and remote location
Lovely resort, with an amazing location at Taibusamisaki Nature Park! It's quite far from the train station with not many dining choices, but there is a complimentary shuttle bus which corresponds to the train and bus schedule. The hotel is in the nature park and very interesting to hike around the area. There is a visitor center right before you reach the hotel but no maps or information in English, although the staff is very friendly. The room we had was a Japanese room where the staff comes in and makes the futon bed on the floor for you. Very beautiful and comfortable. There is a fridge, a hot water kettle, and tea making set, but get some coffee at reception if you prefer that. After hiking, we enjoyed the deep soaking tub in the room, or if you prefer, a Japanese outdoor bath is available for guests. Yukata cotton kimono is provided for relaxing in the room or around the hotel except in the restaurant at dinner time. Unfortunately, the room temperature was not adjustable, so it was a little warm for us. Also, the third floor where we were was a smoking floor so it smelled quite strong in the hallway. Fortunately our room smelled like tatami, which is like fresh grass. Excellent breakfast was included in our rate. It was a very authentic Japanese breakfast with local springtime seasonal dishes like pumpkin in peanut sauce, and fresh bamboo shoots. Many western choices also such as ham, sausage, eggs, and pastries. Not much support for English speakers.
The hotel was lovely with a nice breakfast buffet. We enjoyed our time there even though the weather was uncooperative. The staff was friendly and helpful. They gave our daughter her own check-in bag, which she loved! They had some English speaking staff too.
loganfreedman.Sep 02, 2018 Nice clean facilities, and food was pretty good too.
Away from it all for better and for worse.
Beautiful location! We really enjoyed the surrounding park. It is far away from shops and restaurants though. If you don’t choose a full-board plan, be sure to eat before you arrive. We were unable to make a reservation at either of the restaurants for dinner due to the influx of bus tours and were left with the overpriced izakaya (Japanese style pub) option with no menu choices for the little one. We were able to opt in for breakfast and it was good, but extremely crowded with fairly long waits for the table and in the buffet lines. If there were more dining options on site, or even a convenience store, it would have been a better stay.
Nice location, nothing else. Not worth the price
Very nice location, by the sea, in a forest, easy to access by car from Tokyo. The rest was very disappointing considering the price we paid (like 400USD for 1 room 1 night!). The hotel itself is old fashioned (like 90s' bubble period). The room was ok. The service was below the Japanese standard. The food also was overpriced, from breakfast (not very tasty) to dinner (we eventually decided to have dinner in a nice local restaurant a few kilometers away). I would definitely not recommend this hotel.
Perfect Tokyo weekend escape
Great hotel in wonderful location including easy access to snorkeling beach. Only drawback is extremely limited English (menus etc)
