Bathroom
The toilet and bathroom were separate.
There was a toilet with a Washlet function and a small sink.
Bathroom door.
The bathroom was large big, and the bathtub was also big enough to stretch my legs. The hotel isn’t new, but the bathroom was clean and well maintained.
Next to the bathtub was a Mikimoto Cosmetics shampoo, conditioner and body soap. The shampoo and conditioner was good because it felt nice and my hair became smooth.
The washing area was a little narrow compared to the size of the bathtub, but it was enough space for one person. There was a chair and a bucket.
The water pressure was strong enough and I could adjust it easily. I had no problem with temperature control.
Face soap and hand soap on the sink.
Amenities were also provided on the sink, such as toothbrush set, cot set, razor, hairbrush and body towel.
Hair dryer.

Restaurants and shops in the hotel
I ate at an ocean view buffet restaurant on the 2nd floor.
As the name suggests, it had an ocean view.
There were many people in the restaurant, but there were many seats so I had no problem finding a place to sit.
The menu had a wide variety of Okinawan dishes, classic Japanese and Western foods, staple foods, main dishes, and side dishes.
Bread.
Drinks.
Dessert.
There was also a bar.
The food was delicious.
A poolside restaurant called “Southern Terrace.”
There was a shop in the lobby. They were selling Okinawan specialties, Shisa, Ryukyu glass, stationery accessories, hats and clothes that could be used on the beach. There were a lot of families and many goods for children. They were also selling lunch boxes, side dishes, drinks, snacks and sweets, and cup noodles. The store was big. They also had a home delivery service.

Beach
In front of the hotel was “Bibi Beach Itoman.”
The wind was strong, so I did not swim in the ocean, but it was a beautiful blue sea with white sand. Okinawan music was also playing outside.
The wind was strong, so there were not many people on the beach making it feel like I was on a private beach.
The sunset was beautiful.

Hotel Surroundings
Since the area is a factory zone, I got the impression that it was isolated without anything other than the sea. It is close to Naha Airport, so it is a convenient location, but because it is isolated and away from everyday life, I think that it is a good environment to enjoy the tropical resort. Because it was a weekday in mid-April, there were not many people on the beach and pool, and it was like a private beach. If you open the window, you can hear the sound of the airplane and the Okinawan music that is playing on the beautiful beaches.

Staff and Guets
The staff were polite and friendly. The room explanation was very detailed. The hotel is big, so there were many staff.
There were more tourists visiting from overseas. Although the age group was various, I think that there were many families with small children. There were also a number of couples.

Access
It is close to Naha Airport and about 20 minutes by car. Because it is a part of the industrial area, there was only the beach and factories around, but if you walk or drive a little, there are convenience stores and restaurants. Road station Itoman is nearby, the inside is JA Mart, and there are plenty of cheap Okinawan products sold here. There were also handmade side dishes and sweets, which was cheap and delicious.
Road Station “Itoman.”
Inside “Umanchu market.”

Summary
I had a nice stay. The best thing was the garden pool and the beach that was right by the hotel. It is close to the airport, but there is nothing around the beach and it is a little early in the season, so there were not many people and it is a quiet resort place. The white sand beach and the blue ocean was very nice. The room had an ocean view and a harbor view, which I enjoyed very much. The hotel was old, but there were no inconveniences because it was cleaned very well. Overall, it was a nice and beautiful resort hotel.
