What is the appearance of the hotel? Check the entrance and reception

IMG_1220 (9)

It is a big resort hotel and you can see the building even from a distance. The first time I stayed here was a year after it opened, and this time it was five years later, but it was still a beautiful building.

IMG_1220 (2)

There were a few limousine buses parked outside and there is plenty of space to do a U-turn.

IMG_1220 (4)

Entrance seen from the outside.

IMG_1220 (1)

When you enter from the entrance, there is a cafe in the front, and there is a bright entrance overlooking Tiger Beach. There are many sofas in front of the pillars for customers waiting for buses and taxis.

IMG_1220 (3)

There are about 5 staff (mostly veteran) at the front desk. At the time of check-in for customers, the young staff will come out from the back with an income and guide you to the room with luggage. The front desk is a little crowded when there are group of customers, but in that case, the number of staff will increase, so we they can respond relatively quickly.

What is the Non-Smoking Deluxe Room like?

IMG_1220(23)

Guest room door.

IMG_1220(35)

It is a clean room and I have no complaints.

IMG_1220(30)

It was a bright room with a big window.

IMG_1220(28)

It was very spacious.

IMG_1220(16)

One of the attractions of Monterey is not only the design according to the theme of each hotel, but the interior decoration of Okinawa varies greatly depending on the room type.

IMG_1220(14)

If your hotel stay is long, I recommend an ocean bath room or deluxe room with a view of Tiger Beach from the bathroom. Such a room also has a higher probability of becoming an upper floor, so you can have a beautiful view without obstacles.

IMG_1220(29)

Simmons bed with 3-4 pillows, so you can adjust the height of your head to your liking and I fell asleep right away.

IMG_1220

The balcony has a table and chairs. The fence is about 150cm high and there are no obstacles around the fence, so even small children can safely go outside. The next room is often empty, so you won’t be bothered by noise even if you go outside.

IMG_1220(33)

In front of you, Tiger Beach is spreading and you can see the horizon, and on a clear day and you can see a beautiful sunset. On the higher floors, you can enjoy a more beautiful view because there are no obstacles.

A closet is right in front of you after you enter the room. There was a safety box inside. When there is a lot of luggage or in the winter, it seems convenient to have a closet right by the entrance.

Hotel Suroundings

There are several resort hotels around and there are many tourists and I did not see many local residents. In the vicinity of the hotel, there are several yakiniku restaurants, izakayas offering Okinawan cuisine, taco rice specialty shops, and small private shops.

Access

Access to the hotel is by car, by bus or by taxi. By using the expressway, you can go from Naha Airport to the hotel in about an hour. Until last year, buses were only route buses and airport limousine buses, but it became easier to access due to the opening of Okinawa Airport Express, which goes straight to Churaumi Aquarium. Limousine buses run one hour at a time, and you can pay and reserve seats at hotels, airports, or advance reservation sites. I felt that there were many foreign customers and minors who didn’t have cars.

Staff and Guests

As you can see on many well-known reviews, there is a slight difference in hospitality between staff members. However, I never felt uncomfortable. On the other hand, it seems that there are individual differences because there is a nice experience that you can receive thank you words from those who are in charge of each time. Veteran staff, marine sports shop clerks, and outdoor beach and pool guards often have a lot of room for customer service, leaving the impression that they are very helpful.

IMG_1220 (36)

There were many foreigners (Chinese and Korean individual tourists) after and Japanese families. Also, even if the weather is bad, there are facilities (kids space, Okinawa cultural experience, indoor pool, beauty treatment salon, nail treatment facility, etc.) that can be fully enjoyed in the hotel, so there are many people who enjoyed the hotel stays.

Summary

Every time I visit Okinawa I stay at this hotel. I was satisfied with both the service and the facilities. When you arrive at the airport, you can get a feeling of visiting because of the atmosphere and greenness peculiar to Okinawa, but if you come to this hotel and look at the sea from the entrance, you will be surrounded by happiness. The pillars and window frames of a hotel with a high ceiling are like a picture frame. It is a scenery unique to Okinawa.
