Experience of the stay
I stayed for a night on the weekends in October for 2,000 coins, without meals.
Typically, resort hotels cost around 60,000 to 70,000 yen at a minimum, but I was able to stay on a weekend for just 48,000 yen.
Kouri Island is a small island that you can reach by car from Okinawa Main Island. It takes less than two hours heading north from the airport with a rental car. The popular Jungle Ria and Churaumi Aquarium are also relatively nearby, making it great for sightseeing as well.
Please be careful as the road to the hotel after entering the island is quite narrow.
Upon arriving at the hotel, you will be welcomed and asked to leave your car. It’s a valet parking service where they handle the driving in and out of the car for you.
There’s a photo-friendly infinity pool with towels and cold drinks (water, sparkling water, cola, apple juice) and, depending on the time, you might find a tap of Orion beer with snacks available. All complimentary.
Inside the room, there are welcome sweets and snacks, and all drinks in the refrigerator are free, which is such a nice service.
Including Orion beer, sanpin tea, etc.
The room is very spacious and comfortable. You can see the sea from the terrace, and you can enjoy the view from the bath as well. There’s a large sofa, and the washbasin is spacious with two bowls, with excellent amenities. The hair dryer is a Repro Nizer!
In addition to the infinity pool, it seems a new facility has been built in a separate building since last year. It includes a pool, sauna, and gym. Because it's new, the facilities are clean and the atmosphere is nice. You can use it until 11 PM, and when I visited in the evening, it was largely empty. The hotel seems to have a small number of rooms, and although it was a weekend, I never found the pool or front desk crowded. I highly recommend it for an adult trip.
The island has almost no convenience stores or restaurants open at night, so it’s perfect for an adult getaway aimed at a staycation!
Experiences during the trip
Basically, if you want to eat or shop or do something, you will have to return to the main island. However, since it’s a small island and you can get out in about 20 minutes, it’s not too inconvenient. There’s a marine shop on Kouri Island where you can do activities, and it’s very popular.
Compared to Naha and Onna Village, the sea is incredibly beautiful!
