“Beautiful beach”

The beach is very beautiful. At low tide, we found 5+ hermit crabs in less than 5 minutes. We spent several hours at Lounge Shiokaze, enjoying the ocean view and comfortable atmosphere.

The beach is very beautiful. At low tide, we found 5+ hermit crabs in less than 5 minutes. We spent several hours at Lounge Shiokaze, enjoying the ocean view and comfortable atmosphere. Since our first visit 5-6 years ago, we have stayed there several times in the last few years. In the past stay, we enjoyed a few Eco Tours, too. Hotel’s coin laundry helps us travel light. We used it a few times during our stay.

“Honest review, not perfect...”

Being retired military, we have the option of staying next door, but with the holiday week, no vacancy.

Being retired military, we have the option of staying next door, but with the holiday week, no vacancy. We decided to stay here and use the amenities (jet skis, kayaks, go carts) of the military side. The property is celebrating their 45th year, and the property is starting to show the wear and tear of age. Although the room was nicely appointed and had fresh paint and updates it is a bit dated. However, the room was comfortable, the AC worked nicely, great hot water and pressure. The facility itself is again, just dated, lots of wood rot and paint issues. But it looks like they are trying. As far as the restaurants go, even by Japan standard, they are quite expensive. We were going to have lunch at the seaside but at $25 US a hamburger, we opted to go to the military side. We did have the dinner buffet at 5000 yen each, and unfortunately we both became very ill later that evening, the selection was diverse, but nothing that would stand out. Very basic fare with a good selection (we attribute the sickness to maybe the sun and activity coupled with the mix of meal options, I am sure the food is fine) We also had the breakfast buffet, and again, it was very diverse with a nice selection. We ate light due to the night before, but did enjoy the Macha bread. I would recommend staying here if you get a good price, but some of the prices I seen were just way too much and there are better properties and locations at this price point.

“Relaxed atmosphere, spread out, private feel, family oriented”

I stayed here because of a need to be geographically on this peninsula, not because I was on vacation. I am also from the USA and stayed with a large group, so bear that in mind. I found the staff very polite and helpful to the extent they could in English. The grounds are sprawling, but well... more

I stayed here because of a need to be geographically on this peninsula, not because I was on vacation. I am also from the USA and stayed with a large group, so bear that in mind. I found the staff very polite and helpful to the extent they could in English. The grounds are sprawling, but well maintained, clean, and with very spacious and well appointed villas. The pool area was not up to resort standards of the Carribbean, but it worked well enough. The breakfast buffet (which I think is included? Depends on what you book) was generous and tasty. We only tried the restaurant near the beach, but it was pretty good, prices weren't terrible. Overall, it was a nice play to stay for a few nights, and i think for families who are local or Japanese its probably very nice as an out of the way private resort location.

“A major disappointment ”

For years I have wanted to stay at this resort and finally had the opportunity last month. I rarely do this, however this review will be honest and not very flattering. Upon arrival we didn’t feel very welcomed and the state of our room was even worse. We chose a cottage suite across from the ocean at the front of the resort and we’re shocked to see a dirty room upon checkin and bags of trash at our door. Normally this wouldn’t be a deal breaker but due to the pandemic cleanliness and sanitation is crucial to feel safe. The furniture in our room was very old and worn and needs to be replaced. We found a dirty mask in our sofa and the bathroom was not clean either. I called the front desk and directly asked if someone had stayed in this room the night before and was surprised when they said yes. This is a large resort and I don’t understand why they would choose to put us in a room that was occupied the night before and not even cleaned. We had to pay an extra $400 to move to a different area of the resort to another room and I felt like the management didn’t do a good job taking care of us. The lounge consisted of very tiny snacks and there was no room service available and it was pouring rain. This resort was a major disappointment and we will not visit again. Housekeeping needs to be addressed as well as recognizing an error when it effects the guest experience.
