Nice new hotel, but the beds are extremely hard and quite uncomfortable. The service is really good, though, and the restaurant is decent (better for lunch than breakfast, in my opinion).

朝食メニューは最高でした、レストランスタッフの接客もとてもすばらしく気遣いも良かったです。海ぶどうやブルーシールアイス楽しみました。フロントで外国人と間違われたのかパスポートと言われ微妙なスタートでしたフロント係は若すぎたのでしょう。ウエルカムドリンクも屋上で楽しみました。リゾートではありませんがその分を埋める滞在でまた泊まりたい。部屋着のパジャマが半乾きの匂いで着れませんでした、その日に着た服をもう一度着て寝ましたが。

5泊6日の旅行の初日に1泊宿泊しました。海から離れた場所にあり、あまり期待していませんでしたが、大満足でした。ホテルも新しく清潔で好きなサウナもあり最高です。近くには少し歩けば飲食店もあり不便は感じません。ホテルの駐車場も広く停めやすいです。そして何より大満足だったのが朝のバイキングの朝食です。パンあり、和食あり、アイスありでお腹イッパイになりました。中でも沖縄ならではの沖縄ソバ、ジューシーがあったのは嬉しかったです。フロントの方も感じ良く、安心しました。また行きたいホテルになりました。
