Sayan Terrace Hotel & Resort

“A lot more fun if you know what to expect”

First the bad: the family tatami room was very old, for the price i was expecting better. Setting and removing futons is self-service, housekeeping does not do this. Anyone over 160cm will have trouble sitting on the toilet without smashing knees on wall in front. I'm 196cm and literally had to sit… lisää

First the bad: the family tatami room was very old, for the price i was expecting better. Setting and removing futons is self-service, housekeeping does not do this. Anyone over 160cm will have trouble sitting on the toilet without smashing knees on wall in front. I'm 196cm and literally had to sit sideways and my knees still pushed up against the door. Literally it's a box just about big enough to accomodate the toilet and not much else. You'll need to bring your own beach towels as hotel does not supply them. The breakfast was very poor. It's nice that you can eat out on the deck or even on the beach with a hotel-supplied picnic basket but the quality of the offerings (nearly raw scrambled eggs, tasteless slices of cheese and ham) might make some of you just opt for the coffee or orange juice. If you don't mind eating dinner-style food for breakfast then there is a simple salad bar and some cooked chicken, avocado shrimp salad, miso soup, etc. Now for the good: very nice view and the hotel is well set up to access the beach coming and going. This is a big deal if you're taking kids and floaties, etc. There are multiple outdoor showers to clean sand off with, some of them heated. Nice deck replete with hot jacuzzi and a decent pool. Both great fun for little kids. If you're older and into body boarding the waves are hit and miss at this beach but for little kids it's a perfect location as the waves tend to break close to shoreline so kids are never in danger of getting in too deep. So bring a tube or rent one (can also rent chairs and parasols, expect to pay 1500 for a parasol and 1000 for a chaise lounge beach chair). The water was very warm end July and very clean as was the beach. Plenty of space, not packed with people. For 1000 yen per day there is all you can watch pay per view movies. If you're staying for a week you might get through all of the English ones worth watching midway through but if you're there just for a few days, then the selection is more than enough. (Though there were just a couple of kids movies) And about that food. Though we did not have lunch on premise, the dinner was included in our package and it was startlingly good given our experience with the breakfast. 6 or 7 courses, really good service, a range of dishes including sashimi, filet, and chocolate fudge cake. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Next time we visit we'll likely try out the lunch to see how it compares to the dinner fare. In all, our six person family grew to enjoy the sleepover style of the japanese tatami room. Not luxury but still fun. Having just one bathroom created a bit of a bottleneck but that's what we get for having four kids! Hotel staff were all friendly. In all we had a great time and will likely go again. Compares favorably to Shimoda, our usual summer destination where we often stay at Prince Hotel on beach. p.s. just fyi, there is a smallish water slide/park about a 2 minute drive from the hotel...we did not go but might in future, looks pretty good and it is not listed on TripAdvisor's list of Things to Do in Onjuku.

“Sayan Terrace Hotel in Onjuku Japan”

This hotel has a great view of the sea and Onjuku is surfers paradise. I had a great time on the beach and it looks safe and very very clean. The hotel has sea facing breakfast restaurant. However it does not offer table service during the day. My room had a great view of the sea and was very quite. I recommend this hotel for tourists and the best season for Indians to visit is May- June which is off season.

“great location on the beach”

This small hotel is situated on the beach in Onjuku. We watched the surfers from our traditional Japanese-style room. The room was a good size by Japanese standards.

This small hotel is situated on the beach in Onjuku. We watched the surfers from our traditional Japanese-style room. The room was a good size by Japanese standards. A bit unusual to make up our own futons - but they were packed up each day by the hotel staff. The public bath is OK, with separate spa. Breakfast also OK with reasonable choice. Onjuku is a pleasant small seaside town, with restaurants in walking distance of hotel. Free car parking is available at the hotel. There is a swimming pool at the hotel however it was raining most of the time we were there.
