写真に裏切られた感じ。
Pros:

お風呂は良かった！

Cons:

家族5人で宿泊したけど。部屋は狭く布団を敷いたら
荷物の置場がなかった！
予約サイトで分かりづらく食事は普通に付いているものだと思っていたら食事も付いてなかったし(有料みたいでいくらかもわからなかった)。受付での説明もなかった。
プールも付いていたけどプールも有料で売店もしょぼい！

Good quiet hotel at Shirahama
Pros:

Hotel is situation on a high ground. You need to walk up a short slope but rewarded with a nice sea view from your room. Spacious room and comfy bed. Breakfast was good and staff are helpful and courteous. There is a small ramen restaurant near the hotel which is highly recommended. The seafood market at the beach front closes at 5pm. Senjojiki Rock Plateau and Sandan-beki Cave is about 15 to 20-min walk from the hotel. After your walk, you can soak in the hotel onsen. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the hotel.

Cons:

Great variety of facilities: indoor and outdoor onsen, yacuzzi, sauna, cold plunge.
Free amenities and variety of amenities.
High quality and variety of shampoos and body wash.
Big traditional style room.

Cons:

Considering the price, I think the hotel could have been a little bit better.
both onsens:outdoor and indoor are too cold, sauna is too cold.
The bathtub in the room has seen much better days.
No plugs next to the bed.
