This place has all the best features of a resort hotel! The scenery, food, and service were all great, and the sound of the waves was soothing, making it a hotel I'd want to return to again and again.

This time I stayed in the East Building. The scenery is beautiful, the room is very beautiful, the coast is clean (some drifting objects are inevitable), (we had so much fun that we went into the water for a while), and the flushing area next to the swimming pool on the shore thoughtfully provides hot water, which is a wonderful stay. It's great. The view from the top floor is great. The whole hotel is very photogenic. The service is first-rate. The only thing I'm picky about is probably dinner. The food is so-so and can't keep up with the high-end feel of the hotel itself. The hotel is in Dangjin, so it's more convenient to drive by yourself. Because even the car provided by the hotel can only travel up to 40 kilometers, and Fukuoka is 40 kilometers away. It may not be so easy to go back to Fukuoka. There is a supermarket nearby by car in five minutes, and there are many attractions. If you drive by yourself or travel slowly, , really recommended

I stayed in the east building.I booked a twin room, but I was lucky that it had been upgraded.When I stayed there, there weren't many people and it was comfortable.At the dinner buffet, the squid was not prepared properly, and when my companion asked the staff, he was told that due to the poor catch, there was not much squid, so the sashimi platter would be a platter of sashimi. Shouldn't I explain? ? I thought so.The taste of the hamburgers and fried chicken at the buffet was not good.I was concerned that the poolside bed on the 8th floor was full of mold, and that the female receptionist was a bit pushy when I called the hotel after forgetting something.As it is an expensive hotel, there were quite a few points to be concerned about.

A hotel managed by Chateraise located in Niji no Matsubara facing Karatsu Bay. The sea view is amazing, the rooms are clean, and the indoor bath with a sea view is the best way to relax. The welcome cake and restaurant food are also very delicious.
