The Best Inclusive Experience!

Experience of the stay
I stayed for 3 nights and 4 days in August during my child's summer vacation. It was great because I could make reservations at a lower price compared to other sites! The room had a big window with a view of the sea and the pool, which was fantastic!
Since it’s an inclusive hotel, it was very convenient for families with children, as most things were self-contained within the hotel. The pool had a waterslide and was heated, so I could enjoy it even with a bit of wind. In summer, there was a night pool, and the kids played in the pool until 10 PM every day! There was also an indoor pool and sauna, which we enjoyed alternately.
【Positive Points】
・During a limited time, I received a 2,000 yen coupon usable within the hotel for using the shuttle bus for transportation (per person).
・The shuttle bus between the airport and hotel was free (used for return), which was super convenient!
・I received a can of drink and snacks by registering for the hotel’s free membership. I also received some novelty items for answering a questionnaire.
・The pool was spacious, and towels were available for borrowing!
・There was a kids' area with wooden toys to play with.
・In the evening, I received free items, such as shamisen performances, glowing wristbands, and sparklers (limited time).
・There were plenty of amenities, including some unique ones like ice candy, brown sugar tasting, and shaving soap.
They provided pajamas, slippers, and toothbrushes for children.
・The breakfast buffet had a donut wall, fresh-squeezed orange juice, shikwasa juice, the ability to make your own Okinawa dishes, live burgers, poached eggs, and Blue Seal ice cream (6 kinds), all of which were delicious and amazing!
・Kariyushi Beach, Lawson (convenience store), and Okinawan restaurants were close by.
【Difficulties for Families】
・There was no convenience store inside the hotel selling items like rice balls.
・There was a slope down to the sea, and since the shuttle bus ended at 6 PM, it was difficult to move afterwards.
・There was no supermarket near the hotel.
・The key to the room's balcony was broken, and my child opened it, which caused some panic.
・When I went for the breakfast buffet at 8 AM, I had to wait for an hour and ended up giving up on one day (the next day, I went earlier at 7 AM and made a reservation).
・I heard there was a car-sharing service within the hotel, but you couldn't borrow without a reservation at least a day in advance, and there were few cars available, making it impossible to reserve. Moreover, the car-sharing app was very difficult to use, and returning was confusing.
Other than that, it was truly great, and I would love to stay at this hotel again!
Experiences during the trip
◯ I visited the nearby Kariyushi Beach for just one day. The sea on the glass boat side was beautiful, but swimming was prohibited, and the swimming area had shallow waters, which was disappointing. It felt like an amusement park with Waterland and activities, but the prices were a bit high.
There was a free pool at Kariyushi Beach, which seemed to be more crowded.
◯ I also went to the Churaumi Aquarium. I wanted to visit the Orion Beer Factory as well.
