The Shiraraiso Grand Hotel is a lovely property situated right on the beautiful beach! We had a giant room with a great view. The staff is attentive and helpful (and we needed a fair amount of support!). Shirahama is a great city and there's a lot to see and do. Hot springs public foot baths; a cooking spring; the underwater observation tower; a museum with amazing views from the roof; sandstone cliffs; Entetsu arch...and the hotel has the most delicious soft serve ice cream! Breakfast buffet was impressive with both omelet station and onigiris being made on the spot. Delicious Wakayama citrus and ume.

Being able to walk on the beach in 20 seconds is an absolute dream! We had such a wonderful stay here and Shirahama is such a cute town! The hotel was wonderful for our family of 4 with kids sleeping on traditional futons and two large twins available for us! There are partitions to separate the rooms. My only slight issue was wanting the futon room to be more blackout as the sun rises early! The housekeeping doesn’t clean everyday but they do drop off amenities. The hotel breakfast was wonderful highly recommend the buffet as most places aren’t open early.

The property location and views from the hotel rooms are fabulous. Staff are extremely courteous and helpful, even to English-speaking travellers. The building is a bit dated but still very nice. We enjoyed the experience of the set dinners even if we weren't adventurous enough to try every course. Our kids loved sleeping on futons, running around the playground by the beach, and going to the onsens. It's easy to take the public bus around the area and IC cards are now accepted for fare payment, contrary to info on the bus website.

To us - we think this is the must stay in the area. It is near the beach, great services that the front desk is super helpful, at least one of the staff have good English. The benchview room is unforgettable, for both the view and being spacious - wish could have stayed longer.

Like most hotels in the area, it is showing its age abit but hotel is clean. Beautiful beach and ocean views from the room. Both onsen are nice and standardly equipped. Halfboard breakfast/dinner is also good quality. Many of the table staff are foreign and have a good grasp of japanese/english as there are tourist who frequent here, but seevice is generally good. Reception staff is also well versed in english as well and friendly/professional. One big complaint with the room is the heating/cooling ventialtion controls in the room are useless. As per the staff, it is a centralized system and regardless of whatever temperatures you set it will not change the temperature. (Either fan on or off.. and temperature during the day/evening it seems to be preset at 24 degrees celsius .. and beware that early in the morning, the heater system kicks on and heats up the room alot up to about 27/28 degrees celsius) In my travel during early April when it was warmer outside, room temperature was unbearably warm and i had to request for portable fan and shut off the main ventilation fan to make things more tolerable. Opening up the window helped but I had to shut it due to mosquitos coming into room because there are no mesh netting on the windows. This is a big negative for those who cannot handle the heat/stuffiness in the hotel room. This is silly as the room thermostat has temperature level controls but it does nothing for the temperature. Otherwise, if you not mind its fine
