Hotels With Pool in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan

I had an absolutely delightful stay at this hotel. Every aspect of the experience exceeded expectations — the room was impeccably clean, elegantly designed, and exceptionally comfortable. The staff were warm, attentive, and provided truly outstanding service throughout my stay. The breakfast was particularly impressive, offering a refined selection of high-quality, fresh, and beautifully presented options that made each morning a pleasure. The location is ideal, and the facilities are superbly maintained, contributing to an overall sense of sophistication and relaxation. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a premium and memorable stay, and I very much look forward to returning in the future.

The hotel's environment is fantastic, and the entrance garden landscape is absolutely beautiful. The seaside corridor is also stunning, and there's a dedicated hot spring area for foot soaks. The public outdoor hot spring views are also great. The only downside of my trip was the room I booked, which was supposed to have an indoor hot tub, but it turned out to be just a regular bathtub. Although the staff explained that the water was indeed from a hot spring, it still felt disappointing, so I didn't use it. I contacted Ctrip customer service about it, and their handling of the issue was very satisfactory. However, the public bath was a delightful surprise; both the environment and the soaking experience were incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend the dinner buffet. Even though it's a buffet, the ingredients are fresh, and the variety is extensive. You can even grill your own food. The tempura was exceptionally delicious, and they had Haagen-Dazs ice cream! Breakfast, however, wasn't as lavish and was quite simple. Overall, I'd say I'm satisfied.

Shirarahama Beach is right out the back door of the hotel, which was super convenient! We stayed in a standard Japanese-style room with an ocean view. It was spacious enough for two people, but would be a bit cramped for three. The only downside was the bad weather during our visit. 😭

Most accommodations in Shirahama are tatami-style, but my mom doesn't like them. After much searching, I found Shirahama Marriott, which has private onsen and Western beds. Our stay exceeded expectations; we were very comfortable for 3 nights. The view from the 9th floor was excellent – we could enjoy the onsen while sipping plum wine. The plum wine at the hotel's souvenir shop on the 1st floor was cheap and delicious! We also visited the 11th floor and saw the same view featured in Detective Conan.

The room is small and the location is remote, but the hotel scenery is really great! The hotel restaurant needs to be booked in advance, and there are no convenience stores nearby, and the restaurant is also far away. Remember to book a restaurant when you check in, otherwise you will have to go hungry. The hotel does not have Chinese service, and English communication is a bit difficult. The hotel's public bathing is free, and there are open-air bath seats. It was windy and rainy on the day I went there, and it was super cold. It was very comfortable to bathe. The location of the men's and women's bathrooms will be swapped, so remember to look at the sign at the door and don't go the wrong way.

Room was comfortable, had a sea view, there was another hotel in between us and the sea, but nevertheless it was beautiful to be beside the sea. Breakfast was tardy, staff were friendly, Onsen was big split over two floors with the highlight for me being the outdoor pool on the first floor

Excellent stay! Not sure why, but we were given a sea-view room, and the scenery was absolutely stunning with the good weather! However, the hotel is located on a hill, and there were no taxis when we arrived at night, so we had to walk. You can cut through the baseball field to get there.

The rooms are spacious, but the hotel is quite old, so the facilities are outdated. However, because there are indoor and outdoor hot springs, many locals stay there on weekends, and the lobby bar offers complimentary snacks and drinks, making it good value overall. However, the hotel's location is remote, and there aren't many restaurants nearby, making it very inconvenient if you're not traveling by car.

We booked a private hot spring room with two meals this time. Extremely satisfied! The front desk service was attentive and thoughtful. The hotel faces the beach directly, and the private hot spring is right on the balcony of the room. Soaking in the hot spring while enjoying the sea view was incredibly relaxing. The room was clean, tidy, comfortable, and cozy, with a full set of toiletries, bottled water, and snacks provided. The dinner was very rich, with fresh and delicious ingredients. While the breakfast options weren't as extensive, there was still plenty to eat. Overall, I'm very happy with my stay. Suggestion: Would it be possible to offer a late-night snack, like a bowl of ramen, for guests who have finished their hot spring bath around 9-11 PM? (I've experienced this at other hot spring hotels in Japan).

The view is stunning, but taking the bus to Oura Station means you have to drag your suitcases up a bit, or catch the 6:00 PM shuttle bus from Shirahama Station. It's worth checking the shuttle bus schedule beforehand; the last one seems to be around 5:00 PM. The bathroom facilities are a bit dated, but the other services are good. With fewer Chinese tourists, it's mostly Japanese families with children. The indoor pool is a bit small, mostly occupied by the children. The breakfast was okay and filling, a typical hotel buffet, but they do offer mentaiko and tuna. On the way back, the hotel booked a taxi to the airport, which took 10 minutes. It's a bit far from Shirarahama, Senjojiki, and Sandanbeki, so it's best to get a timetable and have change ready if you're taking the bus.
