Spa Hotels in Yomitan

Love this hotel! We’ll definitely come back. They changed our sheets everyday and cleaned our room. No need for special requests for cleaning unless you put the don’t disturb sign. Lots of restaurants & food choices. Grocery and souvenir shop in house. The grounds & the buildings are well maintained too.

The rooms, the front desk, and the restaurant all have a very mature feel, so this is a hotel that is highly recommended for dates and adult girls' parties! The rooms were very clean, and the interior and colors of the rooms were very sophisticated. There was bath salt on the sink, which was very stylish and I was excited to use it when taking a bath. There was a sofa and a mini table on the balcony, so I was able to relax while watching the horizon! The restaurant was really full of atmosphere! At night, there was only indirect lighting, so even if there were other guests, they were just hidden from view! It was like a semi-private room, so it was great to be able to enjoy delicious Okinawan original cuisine by ourselves! We had breakfast where it was served, but it seems you can have it anywhere, in your room or in the restaurant! There were three types available, and we had to choose from them. I chose Western food, and it was enough to eat in the morning. The colorful vegetables, bread, yogurt, etc. were very delicious! Breakfast was also served as a brunch, and it was available until 2 p.m., so it was great that I could take my time and go to eat breakfast in the morning! There was a small shop at the front desk, where you could purchase the bath salts and cups that were in the room, which was very attractive!

A hotel with good privacy, and it is suitable for couples' honeymoon and family gatherings. The facilities are relatively new, and some swimming pools have heating functions that they can be enjoyed in winter. The meals are good, and the service staff are warm and considerate.

This was my first stay at a Hoshinoya property. Actually, I tried to book at other Hoshinoya properties in Japan but they were full. I had some trepidation because of some of the bad reviews on TA. My conclusion is that if you are not open to the approach this hotel takes, then things can go badly and you may end up checking out early to take refuge at the Ritz Carlton, Halekulani or Busena Terrace. The approach of this hotel is unique. Starting with reception, the way the process is set up you feel like you are entering a different world. The architecture of the property is stunning and you will be wowed on your first day and the first evening. The meal at the restaurant was theatrical and every course evoked “wows.” I stayed at “Tin” which is a standard twin. I was also travelling with my mom and her friend who stayed at the “Fushi” – the deluxe oceanfront suite. The rooms were very clean and inviting. Bathroom amenities were very full and the very thick futons were comfortable. The property itself is laid out in a 1.5 km stretch along the beach. Distances to the restaurant and spa can be long, so you can call a golf cart to transport you at any time. I stayed for two nights and three days and I would very much consider going back. I had a very nice stay. However, there are a couple of areas for improvement and ones of which guests should be aware. Restaurant menu – we pre-ordered the fixed menu for breakfast and dinner. The breakfasts (Japanese or Western option) are exactly the same every day. The dinner – some of the courses changes others do not. The second evening meal ended up being more underwhelming. Landscaping – I was surprised at how untidy the landscaping around the property was. There was plant/debris at many places and the beach itself gives an overall feeling of being unkempt. The rooms are not right next to the beach and the entry to the beach is through the nearby café. I ended up paying a lot because I reserved the suite and also the fixed dinners. For the money, I feel like there should have been more – perhaps some more interesting hotel activities, amenities or facilities. But I appreciate the fact that staying here has made me question the value I receive from a luxe property, whether they take a zen-like “less is more” approach like Hoshinoya, or the “more is more” approach of properties like the Ritz Carlton.
