Infinito Hotel and Spa

Fantastic stay for the family. The location was at top of the mountain and the view from the room down to the beach and ocean was excellent. Excellent public baths too with nice views to the beach and ocean. Buffet breakfast in the western restaurant serves both Japanese and Western food. There are two time slots which can be booked when checking in.

A few dead insects in the room but probably inevitable due to the close location to nature.

Hotel provides shuttle bus service to and from JR station as well as some other attractions. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Tasty foods are provided for both dinner and breakfast. View from room is excellent.

Nice hotel on a hill slope with friendly English speaking front desk staff (a plus for us as we do not speak Japanese). We booked a Superior Suite with Tatami Area (Annex). The room is not as big as I expected, it was clean but there was a small dead cockroach at the sink in the kitchen. There was welcome drink at the lobby and snack in the room for us. As our room is at the Annex, the hotel staff helped us with the luggage.

The room is a bit outdated and the lift at the Annex is so small that it cannot accommodate 4 persons.

Beautiful onsen with lovely rotenburo and sauna. Our annex suite was very spacious and had a separate bedroom and tatami area with dividing doors, which was perfect for traveling with a friend. It was essentially a 2-bedroom layout.

The location is far from town. The hotel shuttle is very convenient during the morning and afternoon, but it only runs until 6pm if you're not eating at the hotel. Taxis aren't widely available in Shirahama, so it's possible to get stranded. The breakfast/dinner is quite expensive and only at set timeframes. It would be nice if there was a more casual option. The pool is closed outside of May - October. The gym machines are quite limited and there are no free weights.
