Detailed review & photos “The Ritz-Carlton, Okinawa”

A hill leading to the hotel.

A golf filed by the hotel.

As soon as you arrive at the roundabout by car, the porter will carry your luggage and will take care of your car for the amount of days you stay. You do not have to drive your car to the parking lot yourself.

The entrance has a calm atmosphere with a high roof and tropical music and light fragrances. The entrance and reception lobby are separated. Upon arrival, you will be guided to the large entrance, and if you give them your name, they will bring you a welcome drink.

I asked for flat lemon. Check-in is done on the sofa.

At night there were lights everywhere.

There is no need to go to the front desk, and the staff in charge will come. Welcome drinks and hand towels will be prepared and you will be directed to the room after a while.

Two porters in charge will guide you to your room and carry your luggage.

The hallway had dim lights creating a relaxing feeling.

There is a full length mirror on the left and a bedroom in the back.

The room had a lot of wood and it was very relaxing.

The bedroom on the left and a bathroom on the right.

The bedroom is big with a sofa and a table.

The deluxe room has a twin size bed. The bed is not too soft and is rather firm. The big pillows were soft and did not hurt my neck.
After 8 o’clock, the bed was made for bedtime, and when I returned from dinner, the next day’s weather forecast card, breakfast menu, and Chinko sweets were placed.

There is an iPod, sound system, a phone, and a memo set on the bedside table.

A light panel and a plug-in.

A dehumidifier by the bed.

Sofa and table.

A TV, desk, chair and a luggage stand across the bed.

The room seen form the window.

There was a terrace at the back of the bedroom. The room and the outside window were polished very beautifully and bumped into the window several times.

The terrace was spacious and cleaned very well.

There were two golf courses in front of the room and an artificial pond separating the building and the golf course to prevent balls form flying in.

The Ritz-Carlton Okinawa is located on a small hill, and you can see the ocean and sky from the terrace. The next room was blocked by a wall, and it was made as a private space, so I couldn’t hear the sound of people in other rooms.

The bathroom is at the end of this hall.

You can go straight to the bathroom form the bedroom as well.

There is a large window beside the bathtub, and you can see the outside scenery.

However, the golf course is visible from the room on the first floor, and people can see the inside as well, so I had to close the blinds. By the way, when I was out for dinner, the blinds were already lowered.

The bathroom seen form the terrace.

A shower in the bathtub.

Two kinds of bathing scents were prepared along with towels by the bathtub. Bathtub pillows are also available, so you can relax in the bath.

The entrance seen from the bathtub.

A shower booth is separated from the bathtub, so I washed my body here before getting into the bathtub. The shower has sufficient water pressure.

Shampoo, body soap and conditioner are prepared in the shower booth.

There was a toilet next to the shower booth.

There were two sinks.

Body lotion, mouthwash and soap were prepared on the sink. Body lotion was nice without a strong smell. The mouthwash had a slightly darker mint taste.

Amenity was standardized in a package containing the Ritz-Carlton logo. Toothbrush, comb, shaving, shaving cream, cotton, nail polish, cotton swab, soap, hair rubber, shampoo cap, body sponge were prepared and carefully placed in the drawer. It was not made in Japan.

There was a closet on the left side of the closet.

The closet had enough hangers. In addition, there were sandals for walking around the hotel, extra bathrobes, cardboard box, brushes, shoehorns, and a luggage table.

There was a cafe corner in the corner of the room, and a Dolce machine was prepared.

There were three bottles of water that can be used to make coffee.

The shelf at the cafe corner can be used as a stand for a mini bar, and each drawer contains cups and wine glasses.

Electric kettle.

There was alcohol and snacks in the drawer

Drinks were provided in the fridge.

I ate at “Gusuku” for breakfast.

It is buffet style.

There was Japanese and Okinawan cuisine.

I sat at a seat next to the window which was very quiet.

I had a drink at “The Bar.” The Bar is open until 23:00 and has a counter and sofa seats. When I went at around 10:00, There were only three people here.

“BOUTIQUE” is a shop selling local souvenirs. There was no convenience store in the hotel. Beverages are prepared in the refrigerator in the room and there are cafes and restaurants so it was not a problem.

There is an outdoor pool on site, with parasols and cushioned chairs by the pool. It is a large pool of about 25m. You can see the sea coast from the pool. You can go from your room to the pool in a swimsuit, but there is a changing room next to the pool as well.

Next to the pool is a library.

It was quiet and a nice place to relax.

You can have a drink and order food.
