“Wonderful Room Arrangement!”

The rooms are some of the most comfortable available anywhere - the enormous sectional sofas fit our very tall family of four for a movie and being able to close off the sleeping area is ideal.

The rooms are some of the most comfortable available anywhere - the enormous sectional sofas fit our very tall family of four for a movie and being able to close off the sleeping area is ideal. We ate at the restaurant several times and the food was delicious! One tip: It was our first time using a gym in Japan and we didn't realize that we needed to wear different shoes to the gym and change into our workout shoes on arrival (we thought a gym would work like a shop or restaurant), but the staff were friendly in letting us know.

“Not An Ocean Resort”

The Good: Our hotel room was like a studio apartment including a functional, well equipped kitchen. There was plenty of space to move around without feeling cramped at all. It was a nice living space. The service was very good. The staff were very friendly and responsive. The breakfast buffet was very good with a good assortment of typical buffet foods as well as local cuisine. If you are someone who likes a very firm mattress, you’ll like this hotel. My Negatives: While I liked the hotel, overall, the fact that it is inappropriately named an ocean resort knocks it down a star right off the bat for me. To call it an ocean resort just because you can see the water from the hotel is like naming a hotel in New Jersey an NYC hotel because you can see the NYC Skyline. There is no access to the water (other than the pool). Getting to the ocean requires a car where you have to pay $30-50 per day for beach access, parking, an umbrella and chairs. To me, an ocean resort is one where you have direct access to the ocean from the resort. Having started off at 4 stars, I have to knock it down another star due to the fact that the bed/couch were both very hard and uncomfortable. I tried everything from propping myself up with pillows, sleeping on the couch, sleeping on the actual pillows and nothing worked. I could not get comfortable and my back was killing me the whole time. I did not get good sleep. It seems a trend in Japan that the beds in hotels are hard as a rock. I would hope that hotels would keep in mind that not everyone likes or is even able to sleep on a hard mattress. Why not try medium firmness?
