Experience of the stay
I stayed for 4 nights and 5 days to obtain my diving license.
When I checked in, I was told that a spacious corner room was available for an additional 1000 yen per day for an upgrade, so I decided to take that option! As a result, it became more spacious and comfortable than the single compact room. (I think they did it irregularly since it was the off-season.)
The room was very comfortable. Since it stands along the harbor, I could hear the sound of the waves when I approached the window. Although it's not a beach, the view of the clear sea from the harbor visible from the window was impressive.
The interior was stylish, and I felt very comfortable. As the staff mentioned, the room key was a bit difficult to open (required some force), so just be careful about that.
If you request, they will also come for cleaning every day even for long-term stays, and the staff were courteous.
There is a lounge in the front lobby on the first floor where you can relax, and you can also order the "Doug's Burger" hamburger at the attached restaurant. It’s great that you can buy it at the hotel without having to go to the store! Since it closes early, I recommend using it for lunch.
The location is good, so I thought I would like to use this hotel again.
Experiences during the trip
During a 4-night, 5-day stay, I challenged myself to get my scuba diving license halfway through.
On the first day, I practiced a method called beach diving, where you dive from the beach instead of from a boat, which meant walking back and forth on the sandy beach with equipment on my back... it was quite tough.
I somehow managed to obtain the license safely, which became a great experience. I became friends with divers I met on the same boat, and we went out to eat together for two days. They told me about recommended diving spots, which filled me with excitement.
From now on, I would like to fully enjoy Okinawa and its remote islands for diving purposes.
