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

広々としたフロアやラウンジでリッチ感を味わえました。何よりお料理がどれをとっても美味しくて大満足でした。3人での利用で１人はソファーベットの使用でしたが掛け布団とシーツが別々でセッティングされているため、寝返りの度ズレが生じ寝にくいのが難点でした。後、ラウンジにもう少しテーブルを設置してもらえたら嬉しかったかもです。

同ホテルの八ケ岳が良かったのでみなべに泊まりましたが驚きました。 とても同じグループとは思えませんでした。 1.和室の寝具　敷布団なく、マットレスに敷布を引くのみ→硬くて畳で寝ているのと変わらない 元々腰を痛めていたので、翌朝、かなり腰が痛がった 部屋があまりにレトロ よもやのユニットバス 2.ブッフェ　人手が足りないのか、補充がなかなかされない ほとんどの人が一生懸命頑張っていましたが、 対面で料理を提供する人が、何か言われるのが嫌なのか、顔を合わせようとせず、常に横か後ろを向いていた。とても残念 3.23時で風呂が終わりは聞いたことがない 22時30分頃から掃除を始め、23時には出て行ってくれと、なかなか言われることはない 他に言い方があると思う ボディソープのポンプも壊れていた ダイワロイヤルの全面リニューアルと思っていましたが、そうではなかったのですね。 事前調査不足でした。 とにかく残念。
