The majority of the rooms are beachfront/beach view. Great, ultra-modern shower & toilet. Good location on perimeter road; quiet (except for the surf)! Pleasant staff. Remote controlled window blind. Refrigerator. WiFi. A comfortable mix of up-to-date and traditional. Room (double with two beds) is on the small side as far as dealing with suitcases, etc., but not impossible

Marine Blue is not easy to see from the road. The road sign (at the parking lot) is in Japanese. (The sign doesn't say "Marine Blue" In English; the only English is "Turtle's Hometown.") Manager wants to clean the room daily; we're used to skipping housekeeping to save water etc. We used the "do not disturb" sign.

The food was really imcredible - so many delicious Japanese dishes for dinner and breakfast. Only 4 guest room and each looks out onto the sea. Staff were superb especially the 81 year old working manager who is so sweet! No one speaks English there although our group speak Japanese. We used this as a base to do the 30KM Jomon Sugi (cedar) hike to one of the world's oldest trees - some 7000 years old. Tough hike in light rain and slippery in places but well worth it.

Staying right on the beach was lovely. The food was really good and while eating dinner you get to watch a beautiful sunset. Seeing the turtle tracks in the morning from the egg laying was really cute. Only 15 mins to Isso beach for some great snorkeling. I saw a loggerhead turtle there.

We both don't speak Japanese and we found communication with the staff here harder than other hotels. Also, you can't access the beach between 8 pm and 5 am due to turtles laying eggs (we were there in early July). Also, we were told the beach is not a good place to swim. The patio area is shared, so you can hear people walking down to the beach if they are not quiet.

The location was amazing, overlooking Inakahama - the most beautiful, white, sandy beach. Our room was very clean, and with a fabulous view. Our hosts were excellent - we managed to overcome the language barrier using Google translate, to very good effect. They provided us with a wonderful evening meal, and a tasty Western-style breakfast, upon request. We were very lucky to see a turtle taking her eggs at night - we made sure to be very unobtrusive and resisted the temptation of photographing her. A beautiful experience! We wish we had stayed an extra day to further enjoy the stunning beach and lovely food!

Nothing.

Location right next to beach with view from room. Quiet area.

I would have appreciated instructions in English about how to operate heating/air conditioning unit. It would have been helpful to have information about the nearest restaurants/cafes. We missed the hotel turnoff at night so better signage would have been helpful.

An absolutely beautiful location. The lovely older woman who operates this place could also be a professional chef of the highest order!! I would recommend paying the extra for the dinner & breakfast package, you will enter into a food coma the likes of which you have never encountered. The first meal on arrival was something to behold!

we didn't get to see the turtles. I would recommend booking well in advance for the tour.

The property is right on the beach. It was very nice to hear the waves during your stay although it was still a little cold during our stay. The food was well prepared with good variety over the few days that we stayed. Need to have your own car as this place is not close to anything other than the beach (this was a positive for us but may not be for others). The hotel is run by a very nice lady that took care of us. Even though she didn’t speak any English we are able to communicate enough for what we needed. The hotel is not the most luxurious but it is also far from being shabby. It needs updating in certain areas but it feels homey and makes it very relaxing. We wanted a relaxing stay and this place was perfect for it.

Friendly and helpful owner, with the help of Google translate ! Good food in hotel,breakfast and dinner ( needs to be reserved in advance) Close to bus stop.

As the buses are fairly infrequent, should have hired a car.

Super friendly manager, beautiful location, homely and spacious facilities. And no tv in the room!!

It's difficult to get any food outside the accommodation. But with good planning, this is not an issue.

It was right next to the beach, super beautiful despite it being cloudy. The dinner was also well worth the price, everything was delicious and I could barely move after eating it all. The owner also made me a bento instead of my paid for breakfast because I was checking out extremely early for a hike.

The water in the tap took a long time to heat up, parking wasn't super clear.
