It was my first time staying here. Three people. Look forward to grilled seafood. I ate a bento 🍱 and couldn't eat much, but it was good. just. The dining room floor was dirty. The ocean view from the room was amazing. I had a great time playing table tennis with my husband for the first time in a while.

Stayed here because my husband wanted to eat crab.It was nice to be able to see the sea from the room, but the air conditioner was in-house, so it wasn't cool at all.It was a low/medium/large switch, so you couldn't adjust the temperature, so it was hot after taking a bath.The hotel as a whole is old and there are remnants of the stage in the dining hall.The shower in the bathroom was weak and difficult to wash.Even if you put up with that, you'll be satisfied because the cost performance of the rice is good, the crab is delicious, and there is a wide variety of sashimi.The price is also cheap for a holiday, and I think you'll be satisfied if you consider coming to an inn where you can eat crabs and seafood.It's also close to the sea, so it's nice to see the scenery.

I went there for the food.As per the reviews, all you can eat sashimi and crab.Hamayaki is turban shell, shrimp, and vegetables.all you can eat. The food was very satisfying both in the evening and in the morning.I did.The pickles for chirashi sushi were also delicious.The steak was so tender that even the elementary school children were happy with it.The facilities and tableware have deteriorated over time, but I think that can't be helped. Considering the cost of accommodation and meals, it is very cheap. I felt like I was trying really hard.I live in the Asaka area in Saitama Prefecture, but if you come by car,Isn't Taipa's cost performance better than Atami or Ito's Shizuoka area?I stayed for 1 night on 10/6 and 10/7, but I want to go again soon!The room was 12 tatami room 623 (the easternmost room).The view was also very good!There's nothing to play around the hotel.To take a walk while feeling the sea breezeIt's a very good place.Convenience stores and drug storesPlease note that it is not within walking distance.It was my first visit to Minamiboso,There are very few tourists.If there were facilities nearby that would make people want to go, the number of customers would probably increase, but I guess that's the problem.My personal wish is that if there is pickled vegetables, I also want carpaccio! Ah, I wish there was vinegar in the table seasonings.

The sashimi was not as fresh as you can see in the photo, and the tuna and white fish were discolored and discolored. It smelled a little.The open-air bath, which I was looking forward to, was covered with a cheap shade to protect it from the wind, so it was quite difficult to see.There's another hotel across the street, so I guess they're trying to hide it from view, but it's a really poor structure. It really ruined the atmosphere.My kids really enjoyed it, so I gave it 3 stars.

The bulletin boards all over the building are very interesting. Honestly, it's full of phrases that make me hesitate to repeat, such as "Don't do that," "I've stopped doing that," and "I'll report any harassment." At first, I thought that one or two ☆ would be the most I could get.However, I also believe that this is the reason why he has faced so many negative thoughts and hardships.I have been visiting Minamiboso Shirahama from time to time for over 10 years, but it has not been prosperous. I'm getting more and more lonely each time. At the southernmost tip of Honshu, it has a convex, arched shape, which is the opposite of the concave shape of Shonan, so the view of the ocean is unparalleled. The view from Grand Hotel Taiyo's Sky Restaurant is also very nice. Despite this, there are probably many problems that management efforts alone cannot solve, such as sluggish customer traffic, rising expenses, and a lack of manpower. This was obvious from the damage to the exterior walls and the worn out sofas in the lobby.Nevertheless, as many people have praised, the buffet, which mainly consisted of seafood including crab, was of high quality. But... it is. The restaurant employs many people from overseas, including several elderly Japanese people. Among them, Japanese people are worse at using words and being considerate. To be honest, they are just unpleasant people. There's no smile at all. I don't think I would have been able to have a pleasant meal if it wasn't for the lovely smiles of the employees who seemed to be from the Middle East. Also, the plates and spoons are pretty dirty. There were stains on most of the dishes. Are you keeping maintenance costs down, or are you not fixing a broken dishwasher?Outside, there are Wi-Fi access points in the hallways on each floor, but the power is off. When I looked at the notice on the 1st floor, I noticed that free Wi-Fi was only available around the lobby. Do you want to save money on electricity bills or provider costs?Gift shopping on the 1st floor is cash only, no credit cards accepted. To a casual observer, it seems like if there is a fee involved, it would be better to add that amount to the selling price and handle it at the front desk.In short, Grand Hotel Taiyo seems to be cutting back on the services that are commonplace at other hotels.And, as you would expect from any other hotel, that disappointment leaves a strong impression.To be honest, I was really worried about the evaluation. However, I am looking forward to working with you again next year, so I am giving it a 4 star with my expectations for the future.
