A bit dated and out of the way. Air-conditioning is insufficient in the lobby. But things work OK. View is fine. Breakfast is good and full of options.

It was my first trip to the Kishu Peninsula, and I was amazed by the hot springs and scenery at Ura Hotel. I could see the Pacific Ocean from my room, and it was great to be able to walk from the hotel and experience the super long elevator. The breakfast was delicious and had a wide variety of options.

There is a very detailed introduction to the hotel in the comments. Let me add a few points.
Taking a taxi from Shirahama train station to the hotel costs 2,200 yen, and the bus costs 410 yen per person. If you are a family of three, then definitely take a taxi.
The hotel swimming pool is free of charge and does not provide yukata. It seems that you need to buy or rent it yourself. But it doesn’t matter. You can take a bath in the public bathroom without a yukata. The outdoor bath in the bathroom is supposed to be a hot spring, the rest are definitely not.

The room is a Japanese tatami, very spacious, the breakfast is OK, but it is limited to one hour, there is no bathroom in the room, you can only go to the first floor to soak in the hot spring + shower, the hotel is right on the beach, convenient for travel, but you have to take a bus from Shirahama JR Station to the hotel, the distance is only 5.2km, but there are not many buses, so it is not very convenient.

Take the Mingguang bus to Shin-Yuzaki Station and you can see it when you look up. Before coming here, I was worried about what other reviews said, "There is a slope that is difficult for large suitcases." In fact, it's okay. The slope is not long or steep, and it is completely acceptable.
Check-in time is 4 o'clock. There was no one at the front desk before the time. I threw my suitcase and went out to play, and came back to check in at the appointed time. The front desk was a foreigner with a heavy accent, and the service attitude was impeccable. I lived in a Japanese-style room, and the ceiling light could not be turned on. I contacted the front desk for help and it came quickly. The switch for the ceiling light is on the TV cabinet! Not on the wall! It's really hard to find.
Plus points: convenient public transportation, close to Zaki-no-Yu, beautiful sea view
Minus points: You have to make your own futon, hot spring hotel but no yukata is provided (only one towel)
Overall it's good, but it doesn't match the price, and the cost performance is not high. I chose this hotel because I wanted a hotel with "sea view + tatami + hot spring", and only this one met the requirements (there is another cheaper one, but there is no independent bathroom). After staying here, I felt that it would be better to pay more to enjoy better service, or give up one of them and find a cheaper one.
