The location is amazing!!! The beach is literally in front of the hotel! And every room has an incredible view of the ocean and nearby islands. Even the onsen has a view of the ocean!

Awesome location facing the beach. The hotel has ocean view onsen. A must visit to enjoy the beach resort. Although rooms are renovated, the toilet/bathroom is still old.

Location is top notch.Price is fair for what u get.Everything seems, that it used to be a very luxurious hotel which hasn’t been renovated for decades. But everything is tolerable.Rooms are big and have a beautiful ocean view.Not the most hygienic place.

Great experience. Rooms could use a refresh in the bathroom, but they are typical of older accommodations that are well kept. Staff are polite, happy and helpful. Excellent location where the rooms and the onsen have a view of the ocean.There is no business center or working area if you need to work while traveling. With the number of guests and the growth of remote work culture this is something I expected to see. The desks in the rooms are ok, but they are setup more as a cosmetic/makeup desk than a place to work from a laptop. It is a long way to the nearest convenience store and it would be nice if the lobby shop had a little more selection for small snacks and drinks.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a terrible experience. The only beneficial part of this hotel was the view of the beach. That being said, the bedsheets were stained and yellowed when they were supposed to be white. The air conditioning unit was rusted, with a very dirty-looking filter that seemed to have potential black mold buildup inside. Additionally, the bathtub and shower were constantly overflowing, making it nearly impossible to use them. The tap water was unsafe for drinking, and there were minimal sources to purchase clean water within the area. For the price that they are making you pay, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

The view is beautiful. Like many other reviews say, that is the only thing this place has going for it. The staff is also friendly. NO WATER IS PROVIDED FOR NON SUITE ROOMS, AND TAP WATER IS NOT SAFE TO DRINKCons (why you should look for a better less overpriced place):-One of our bedsheets is stained and yellow. -Our Air conditioning barely works, and is rusted/very dirty looking filter (I can only imagine the black mold buildup inside)-EVERYTHING is outdated. Even the infrastructure (pipes, drainage) is outdated. You will more than likely have a dirty overflowing bathtub/shower.

Oceanfront hotel with a "Prince" badge. All rooms have ocean view, and spacious. However this hotel is far past its prime and everything is dated (think circa 1980's). If you are the nostalgic type this hotel is for you. Otherwise I wouldn't recommend it.

We stayed at The Prince for 2 nights and overall I would recommend a stay here. As stated in other reviews, the rooms & overall interior style are outdated & retro, however nothing was functionally wrong.Our room was clean & had a stunning ocean view as seen on the website when booking. The oceanfront location & easy beach access is the selling point for this hotel!Front desk staff were kind & spoke decent English. Restaurant staff spoke very limited English but no problems translating to order. The food was okay selection & very average quality. We did not want to eat there a second night.

This is a large tourist hotel in a fabulous location on the beach. Our room was fine, with excellent view of the beach. The breakfast was satisfactory and staff friendly and helpful. I’d stay again if I planned to surf the beach breaks in front of the hotel.
