A hideaway for adults with a private beach.The room has an open-air bath that you can enjoy while looking out at the sea, and the indoor bath is a sleeping bath type. The towels and amenities are top class.The hospitality is of course the best, but the food, both Western and Japanese, is absolutely delicious!This is one of the hotels I would like to stay at again.

I stayed with her for one night and two days.It was a perfect place in terms of facilities, food, and location.Recommended for those who want to relax in a facility or those who are looking for an unrealistic space.He asked me about my likes and dislikes in advance, and I could feel the care taken with the ingredients in each dish.I would like to stay here again once a year for some kind of anniversary.

I had stayed at this inn before, and it was a wonderful inn, so I decided to stay this time because I wanted to see the first sunrise of the year from this inn. I was looking up a map of Higashi Izu to Minami Izu and the direction of sunrise in order to see the first sunrise of the year.After doing my own research, I found out that at Bettei Rakumura, you can worship right in front of the Sotoura coast from your guest room balcony (^^), so I immediately made a reservation.Since I had stayed there before, I arrived at the hotel without needing a navigation system. The view from the open lobby overlooking the Sotoura coast is wonderful. The room has the same floor plan as the last time I stayed (probably the same room), so I felt at ease and felt like I was home. First, warm up your body while listening to the sound of waves in the open-air bath on the balcony with natural hot spring water. After taking a bath, I put on a bathrobe and sit on a deck chair drinking coffee and reading books until dinner (though it's from the comic ``More than a Couple, Less than a Lover'').The French dinner for dinner is always very delicious, with the seasonings to my liking.I went to bed earlier than usual to see the first sunrise (_ _).｡o○And at 6:50 on January 1st, I was able to see a wonderful sunrise!! ︎ Taking a bath in the open-air bath while watching the first sunrise... It made me feel really glad to be alive (^^)Also, I have to work hard to stay at “Bettei Rakumura” this New Year’s Eve!! ︎

The happiness of sleeping wrapped in the finest linen.The seasonal dishes are also of a high standard. It seems that they will focus on Japanese cuisine in the future, so I have high expectations.

Stayed here a few years ago. There is a pool, which is nice in the summer. Indoor and outdoor spaces are also good. However, the breakfast was not good.It was okay, but I'm not sure if I would want to stay there again.

Great location. The staff were also kind.It would have been nice if there was a shower hook in the bathroom on the washing area side instead of in front of the bathtub. It was great so I'll be visiting again!

I stayed here with my family for 2 nights in the fall. I think it's a modern hot spring resort with a Japanese approach, but compared to foreign hot spring resorts, I felt it lacked a sense of extraordinaryness and freedom.However, I think a hotel with a hot spring near the beach is worth it on its own, and being able to relax in the hot spring or room while listening to the sound of the waves was the best experience.The meals are only French courses, but I was grateful that they served different courses on both days. Dishes made with locally sourced ingredients are delicious, but I felt like I was being helped by the ingredients, and I wanted a dish that was filled with the chef's ideas. (I have eaten in Izu several times, and I feel that Japanese food is more satisfying in terms of bringing out the best in the ingredients.)The interior is beautiful, but it doesn't feel special or luxurious for a hotel in this price range.Although the service was a bit slow, it was wonderful that they responded to my request in detail.As a fan of Izu, considering how deserted Izu has become in recent years, I wish there would be more hotels in this high price range to better convey the charm of Izu.

We were told to enjoy the sound of the waves, but there was no screen door, so we couldn't leave the windows open, and when the windows were closed, the air conditioner made a lot of noise, so it was a bit difficult to hear the waves in the room.I don't really have a chance to eat French food, so I don't know much about French food, but I thought it was okay.However, the location was excellent. There are many wonderful parts such as the accelerator to the sea and the open-air bath in the guest room.

It's a little far from Tokyo, about three and a half hours, but it's a quiet resort and the best.It's a membership system, but you can also make reservations at places like Jalan, so the quality of the ingredients is perfect.

I was invited to stay here right after it was built, so I stayed there, and the customer service and food were all good.Enter the sauna facing the sea and cool off in the sea.The open-air rooms are also comfortable and quiet as there are only a few groups staying overnight.

Last year, we stayed at a hotel for around 130,000 yen per night for two people since it was in season, but I can say that it was a disappointing accommodation that was not worth the price.・The location is good, but the facilities are third class. The rooms and hallways are smelly and the equipment is broken. The design is inconsistent, and the balcony where you can relax on chairs is made of glass for some reason, making it hotter than the open air.-Service is second-rate. There are too many differences between people (some people are like new amateurs), and it is far from a first-class resort.・The food is also second-rate. The ingredients are high-quality, but the taste is uncharacteristic, and the precious ingredients are a waste.If you can stay for 50,000 to 60,000 yen for two people, it's probably a good enough inn, but if it costs more than 80,000 yen, it's better not to stay. Moreover, it is not worth staying for over 100,000 yen.

The location is great. Dinner was also delicious. However, the facility itself is old, the blinds are in tatters that have not been cleaned, the ceilings are low in the rooms, the beds are stiff, etc. Unfortunately, I don't think it's worth the price. Even though you have an open-air bath in your room, you can't relax in your room. I regret many things

Service is not good. I was able to do the guided things in the manual, but I didn't feel the slightest consideration or hospitality as a person. There was no greeting. The driver on the way back was very nice.Also, the first minus is the smell of the air conditioner. There was also a smell of dust in the hallway, which bothered me every time I returned to my room.Furthermore, the VCR machine in the bath did not work. It took about 10 minutes to find out that it was a bad connection, but the person who fixed it seemed more like an old man at a guesthouse than a high-end inn. . I feel like it's not commensurate with the price.Also, the food is average. It uses high-quality ingredients such as foie gras and lobster, so it might be a good choice for people who like things that are easy to understand.The Japanese sweets served at check-in were very delicious.The good thing is the location to the sea.It's nice to have the sea right in front of you.Also, there was garbage floating in the pool, and I didn't feel like going in because I didn't know why they didn't clean it, but the jacuzzi in front of the sea was very pleasant.Lastly, it may have been a coincidence that day, but the customer base was a little half-grey...? I noticed that there were many people who thought so.There was a couple there, obviously a young woman from a night shop and a customer, so it wasn't a very comfortable accommodation for us.I think everyone has different tastes, so I hope this is helpful.

It was quite nice. You can go to the beach from your room in your swimsuit, and the staff will bring drinks to your beach chair or poolside. For dinner, men in suits serve a menu made with high-quality ingredients that will make you feel as if you are in a restaurant in Roppongi or Ebisu. It's a small hotel with only 8 rooms, so I think it's a good idea to entertain your loved ones on a special day because the staff will be attentive and provide you with attentive, timely service. I think she would be happy if I brought her with me. I don't have one, but this is an inn I would like to go to with my boyfriend. Minus one star because of the high price
