Tacey from United States (24 December 2024)
It sits right on the harbor at Kii Tanabe. Spectacular sunsets and sunrises. Great onsen waters. Hotel chefs accommodated my need to be gluten free perfectly despite how difficult it is with Japanese food. That kindness will always be appreciated.
Great staff!
Emma from Australia (25 March 2025)
Amazing views, beautiful food and rooms.
What could be improved: Unfortunately I wasn't allowed in the Onsen due to my tattoos, and there were no alternative shower options.
Liu from United States (11 February 2025)
Dinner course is good! Staffs at the front desk are very friendly! Good location
What could be improved: Breakfast can be crowded.
Mikhail from United States (9 November 2024)
A resort-like property in Tanabe, on the coast, 20 min away from the center. Traditional Onsen to relax, very nice breakfast, coastal area with a national part to walk around. Hotel provides shuttle service to/from the station, which was very convenient. In addition to breakfast, nice little market in the hotel with both food and merchandise. What...
Rina from Japan (18 September 2024)
The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The lady in the souvenir shop was very nice and helped me choose a good dried plum, which is a specialty of the region. The food was very good and the breakfast buffet was great, giving everyone an option to choose what they wanted, both Japanese and western. The quality was also good. What could be...
Andrea from Australia (3 June 2024)
The rooms were comfortable, the views to the ocean were magnificent, and the staff went out of their way to be incredibly helpful. A lovely old fashioned hotel. What could be improved: The location for an early start to the Kumano Kodo walk wasn’t ideal: we needed to take a taxi to the bus stop, but the staff organised this for us. I would stay...
Alastair from United Kingdom (24 May 2024)
Experience of staying at a traditional spa hotel by the sea. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good onsen on top floor including outdoor pool with views of sea/bay. Comfortable, quiet room with tatami flooring and futons. Good breakfast selection. Hotel shop good selection of clothes and gifts. Free shuttle bus between train station and hotel -...

Customer service.
Charlie from Australia (10 May 2024)
The Dinner and Buffet Breakfast were excellent. The food was fresh and well presented. If you like fish like I do, you will enjoy your stay. If you have tattoos it is best to discuss what time is best to visit the onsen with the front desk before bathing. What could be improved: It's a little far off the beaten track. There didn't seem to be any...
Tom from Australia (7 May 2024)
Great lactation near to town and situated on the sea with wonderful views. The breakfast buffet had a huge range of options including vegetarian which can be hard to find in Japan.
