Beach

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.

IMG_0335 copy

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.

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.
