Pool and onsen

When I first inquired about making a reservation at the By the Ocean Buffet, the staff told me it wasn’t possible and that we would need to wait until 11:30. Later, my friend asked another staff member and we were accommodated right away. This inconsistency was disappointing, as I felt that, as guests, we should have been accommodated from the beginning without having to ask twice.

Great location. Clean. Loved the communal kitchen, dining, and living room. Very clean and cozy.

It was irritating that I tried to pay online and was told I had to pay at the property because I was not a resident of Japan. When I clicked pay at the property, the price instantly went up with no warning and there was a no cancellation rule. This was very misleading. Breakfast buffet was big, but chairs were dirty and stained, and the food selections were not to my liking. I enjoyed trying some new things, but a couple of western choices would have been nice for the price.

The main hotel had a beautiful view overlooking an infinity pool and a hot foot bath and out onto the ocean. The main lobby area was clean and had multiple options for seating and relaxing. There was a huge buffet area for food services and I enjoyed eating dinner and breakfast there. And I also enjoyed grabbing some baked goods at a smaller counter in the main lobby on my way out for the train ride to Osaka.

The main building was a different name than what I had been reading on my information and so I was unsure of where to go for a few minutes as there are three buildings total, but I asked a person out front by the parking area who helped me. My room was facing the road, which was relatively loud in the evening and morning times.

Loved the onsen area. It has 3 levels below and the lowest part you can enjoy the sea view! The design in the hotel reception area was unfussy yet elegant, with gatcha machines, bakery and the souvenir shop in one area. We booked the "Residence" part but even that was very good - the self-service kitchen looked chic, views were amazing, and the couch area was spacious. Appreciate the vending machine and honour-system shop area!

The bakery is half-closed every Tuesday and Wednesday when we've arrived and we didn't have a chance to eat their fresh bread/strawberry desserts. But other items like packed food and coffee are available.

My family was firstly surprised by the sunset at the Terrace which was located on the ground floor; then by the different types of hotsprings offered by the hotel. The self-kichen is fully equipped where allows us to enjoyed the fruits such as water melon and peaches grabbed from the Tore Tore market. It also allows us to reheat breads grabbed from the Bakery. Don't miss the crossiant from the bakery of the hotel. Get one to the JR before leaving. Afterall, we loved this hotel and we will come again.

No.

This visit is probably 4times Nice Location There is excellent bakery in the hotel 5minutes from the beach and seaside public bath Sakinoyu . Beautiful sun set with the foot bath X

Bath in the hotel (so many steps ) Not hot enough

We were in Shirahama for workcation and seamore residence had good facilities for that. A shared kitchen/working space with secure wifi. We also got access to the main hotel and was able to use their amazing onsen! The hotel is a great place for any sized group/ couples/families with lots of amenities (onsen, nap room, play room, karaoke, golf simulator, billiards, restaurants, music room etc). Guests also had the option to choose our own Yukata from reception. 200% would stay here again.

The pillows in our room was rather uncomfortable otherwise eveytging else was great!

It’s near to almost tourist attractions and i like it most especially because it’s near the Shirarahama beach.

There’s sand in the bed sheets even though it was just exchange. I think it was not thoroughly checked when they exchanged the sheets.

Nice and clean Sea view I could use Simone Hotel facilities ! Great !
