- "It was a perfectly manicured property and every room offered a breathtaking ocean view. Their kaiseki dinner was delicious and their service was to die for. We told them that we’re celebrating our husbands’ big birthday there and we’re what they’d come up with. They offered them a lovely birthday cake with traditional Japanese celebration attire for them to try on! We loved their care and wonderful hospitality." - "We thought we booked a ryokan.. but I turned out to be a beach villa. The ryokan has a couple of beach villa’s outside the ryokan. The beach villa had beach front, but was very European. Nothing Japanese. It was not so cozy. We asked if we could eat in the ryokan next door, and luckily we could. The food was very good and the ladies who worked there were very kind. The ryokan itself looked very nice, for the part we have seen. The beach villa had thin walls so we heared every noise. There was no hot water in the morning snd the airconditioning made a loud noise, which kept us awake all night. Unfortunately we spend to much money for this accommodation."
