This place is huge - the opposite of cozy. But if you can ignore the cruise liner atmosphere, it's a great value. The rooms are large with magnificent views, and the onsens are beautiful. Both breakfast and dinner are included, and though it's all a bit over the top, it's buffet so you can eat what you want. One day was enough for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Nice resort to stay while we were at Atami. We stayed at Horizon wing which is renovated recently, very comfortable room with a nice view of the ocean. Facilities are great, there are three public baths, the one between two wings is new with breath taking view; the other two in comparison aren’t worth the time. Buffet dinner is awesome, so many varieties of food to choose from, for a moment I thought I was on a cruise ship.

Lovely view and onsen experience, mainly for locals not tourists which was excellent, but needs a refurb - feels like an 80's resort or cruise shop. Buffet breakfast and dinner was fine for one night but no variety for day 2-3 so got sick of fish and same menu every meal. Don't think locals stay more than 1 or 2 Max days and mainly come for lovely onsen.

This hotel has excellent facilities such as 3 onsens, indoor pool, arcade, 2 private baths, children's activities, and many more. The view of the ocean and caves are amazing. However, the buildings are old. There is a musty smell around. If they do a thorough renovation of this hotel, it would be quite luxurious.

Great onsen location!

I have mixed feelings about this hotel. The location is amazing, and the outdoor onsen was truly exceptional — one of the best I’ve experienced. That alone almost made the stay worth it. However, the hotel itself felt like a giant cruise ship — and not in a good way. It’s very large and noticeably outdated. The room was nothing special, and the overall atmosphere lacked charm. Dinner was decent, but it reminded me of a Las Vegas buffet or something you’d find on a cruise — big, impersonal, and a bit old-school. If it weren’t for the incredible onsen, I’d probably give this place two stars. My advice: visit for the onsen, but consider staying elsewhere if you’re looking for a more updated and personal hotel experience.

Family hotel with great ocean view

Parking was not included and cost JPY 1000 per day. Parking is free of charge only if booked directly with hotel’s homepage. Hotels.com should include parking an option. Hotels.com used “Half pension” but it did not completely describe what was really offered. It was full buffet morning and evening.

何度も利用させて頂いています。 経営が変わったのか、システムが今までとは違い 常連からは違和感がありました。 ホテル内のお風呂の連絡通路の歴史パネルを塞いで意味のないパネルで塞いだ内装が気に入らなかったです。運営事情は分かりませんが、今までアカオの歴史も好きで利用させて頂いてる者からすると残念です。
