Did not have a great time at this place. It is more suited to retired old Japanese people who want to go to the onsen. Felt a bit uncomfortable as we were the only westerners there but people were friendly. While the view was good from our room, the beach was dirty and not maintained. If the hotel would have paid someone to clean the beach up every morning it would’ve been a better experience.

As previous guests note, twenty five minutes from Toba station. As such, no restaurants or stores aside from in the hotel, but plenty of beautiful scenery. I didn’t have the dinner option due to price and instead brought take out from the local food shop (Marche) near the station, but fully enjoyed the lavish spread of fresh foods (fruits and veggies, too) and view of the bay. My room was spacious and new (532) and the indoor pool and outdoor jacuzzi were well-maintained and I could do laps or walking exercises. Overall, a wonderful resort for a little rest and relaxation. ps. The shuttle bus needs to be reserved by phone or mail and actually is worth the drive since you can see the water during the commute.

Overall disappointed and uncomgortable stay. Pro: Location is isolated but they have complimentary shuttle service to/from Toba station and it is beach front. View from room is great. Swimming pool is great as they reserve after 5pm for 13years and up only for quiet hours. Hotel has several art displayed and nice to spot them. Breakfast buffet is quite nice with local ingredients. Con: Restaurants only offer 3 set menu and require reservation for dinner. Biggest issue is Room! No air conditioning available even it is clearly stated hotels.com website that air condition room. At night, our room temp was over 27c and humidity over 60%. Extremely uncomfortable. We called several times to the front desk but issue never solved and we had to suggest if they can bring air purifier, fan, etc as they couldn't even think the alternative solution. Also spider in the room upon checked in and spider webs. Must wear special swim cap when using Swimming pool. You can rent for 300yen. I rent the cap but when I used it the color came out and transferred to my swimmer, towel etc. I informed about this but hotel staff just said I see and still charged for the rental fee and no apology. This hotel has so much potential but room condition was unacceptable especially for the price.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. The view was beautiful, the beach was nice for swimming and walking, the pool and indoor/outdoor Jacuzzi's were nice, the service was professional, the hotel free pickup/dropoff from the Toba Station were appreciated and went smoothly. I really liked the French restaurant, but the Japanese restaurant was not good value for the price we were paying. They used a lot of cheap ingredients, such as fruit salad with yogurt for dessert, tofu dish, veggie dish, cold noodles, and only a couple small pieces of sushi. We wanted to eat Ise shrimp or some Matsusaka beef, or other local specialties. The Japanese restaurant was a rip off for that price! The breakfast buffet was decent. I didn't like having to pay for a beach seat on the hotels private beach. The price we paid for the hotel should have included that. We also had to buy swim caps from the hotel. My wife loved all the art that was in the hotel. The is some very creative contemporary art throughout the hotel. The hotel is a little dated now, but the area is very quiet and lovely. I think if I went back, we would not get the dinner included deal, and go to one of the seafood restaurants in Toba or at a different resort. I was left hungry and disappointed after the Japanese dinner. The hotel is in a very quiet area with not much going on with regards to other restaurant choices, so if you go there without a car, you need to eat there unless you take the shuttle or a taxi.

Thalassa Shima is located right on the beach of a beautiful bay. Looking out of the window and seeing the sunrise and the small fishing boats is wonderful. The location is a bit remote and not much to do around.But just the calmness and the view make up for that.The resort is 25min drive from JR Toba Station. The hotel provides a shuttlebus service to and from the station. Last departure from the station is at 6pm.If you arrive after 6pm you need to take a taxi (cost 4450Y) Looking from the outside - the building is in need of repair. But inside it is nice with lots of artwork. The room up to standard. Spacious and clean with all the necessities to make you feel comfortable. The staff is friendly and very helpful. French dinner is superb and very good wines. Their Japanese style dinner is not worth a try - unfortunately. We enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would recommend it to other people.

Great hotel, with beach access (it's a small cove/bay). shame we didnt have enough time to enjoy it all as we were on a road trip. Lots of seafood places in the area.

Remote, quiet, beautiful grounds and setting. Hallway carpet threadbare balcony railings coming loose. Food expensive. Okay if you have a car. Will not stay again.se

スタッフさんの対応、部屋からの絶景、料理は完璧でした。ただ気になった点がひとつありました。それは廊下の絨毯が補習だらけ、施設の所々に老朽箇所が観られました。それがなければ超完璧でした。

客室からは海は一応見れました。 スタッフも心良く対応してくれました。 機会があればまた宿泊したいです。

主人と姉の3人で二泊しました。 夜.ピアノの生演奏（4/9）に感動しました。お酒を呑みながら、とても贅沢な時間を過ごせたと話をしておりました。有り難うございました。 また、オールインクルーシブも楽しめました。

部屋からみるオーシャンビュー最高でした！

全室オーシャンビューと思われます 大浴場からの景色が良かったです。

最高の一言です(^^) 2年ぶりに行かせていただきましたがクオリティが上がっておりやっぱりtaoyaは凄いなと思いました！！また絶対に行きます(^^)

オーシャンビューで快適に過ごすことが出来ました。スタッフのみなさんの笑顔が素敵でした。

ノーストレスなオールインクルーシブ ゆっくり過ごさせていただきました。

清潔な客室でスタッフの接客が良かったです。

オーシャンビューのお部屋で眺めも良く、露天風呂からの眺めも最高でした！ スタッフさんの動きも各所で素晴らしく、教育を徹底されているのではないかと感じました。 バイキング会場の壁に汚れがあったのは気になりました。

眺望なしの部屋でしたがモダン畳、綺麗で広くゆっくりできました。 料理もお酒も地ビール、地酒も充実して良かったてます

Zimmer sehr gut. Personal sehr freundlich. Buffet jeden Tag leider das gleiche. Ein NO GO dass sich die Sauna NICHT im Onsenbereich befindet. Sonst hätte es 10 Punkte gegeben.

施設内全てが清潔で気持ちよく利用できた
