Kinki Region Beach Vacations

I am Canadian and recently retired from my position as President of a famous Japanese company in both Canada and USA. I have been to Japan upwards of 50 times and I have been spoiled staying at some of the most wonderful hotels and resorts throughout Asia, North America, Caribbean etc. I am currently spending 90 days in Japan therefore, within budget, I am staying at moderately priced hotels throughout the country and I came upon this hotel. With my many experience over the years, there is no doubt...this is in the top 5 of the BEST HOTELS I have ever stayed at! It is absolutely beautiful and elegant in that wonderfully understated Japanese way. 1. Lobby It's the first thing we usually notice when entering a hotel. This lobby is beautiful, spacious and elegant. 2. Room As a solo traveller on a budget, I chose a single room. But it was perfect. Unlike North America, Japanese hotel rooms are relatively small, but so well organized. 3. Breakfast This is without doubt one of the BEST buffet style breakfasts I have ever had! Not only is the selection wide and varied, but the quality of the food and taste is absolutely outstanding! 4. Pool Yes, as noted in other reviews, there is a cost for using the swimming pool. BUT, that is somewhat common in Japan. When we consider the amazing low nightly cost for the room, so what. Paying for use of the pool is no big deal. In conclusion: I plan to return to this hotel again before my trip is over. I LOVE this hotel!

The staff was excellent! Everyone was helpful and treated us very well. It was nice to have two great dining options within the hotel. The room was very nice and comfortable.

とってもよかった！お風呂が別館なのだけがちょっとめんどくさいですが、洋館ホテルなのに旅館も利用できると思うと一石二鳥感はあります☻ ほんとーうにとってもよかったのでまた行きたいです。スイートルームは二つ洗面台があってとってもよかったし、マウンテンビューとはいえど、ホテルのあちらこちらから海が見えるので問題なかったです。夕飯はシーホースでフレンチをいただきましたが、特別な思い出になりました☻食事はどれもおいしすぎたし、花火を特等席で見られて嬉しかったです。 フロント、レストランどこのスタッフさんも優しくてホスピタリティの塊でした。 素敵なホテルと出会えて嬉しいです。
