Pangsapuri di Yomitan

It was really hot when we first arrived at the hotel. Thankfully, the hotel had given us two vouchers to redeem welcome drinks. It was impressive that there is a wide range of choices regarding the drink. During the check in process, everything went pretty smooth. A big shout out to ms honoka ishiji, who is very welcoming and greeted us with a wonderful smile. She had recommended us a few restaurants around the hotel. We ended up picking the japanese-italian restaurant, which was awesome! We got a room with sea view and pool view. The view's nice and so as the room, really cozy and that made me feel like home (though the style of bedsheet and the pillocase is pretty outdated, but thats fine). Btw, the breakfast is definitely a must-try item in this hotel. Do remember to pick a window seat, so that you can enjoy your meal with the splendid sea view. All in all, that was a pretty good stay, and I think I will be visiting again very soon.

房間不錯，設施是有點老了（比如浴室地板都是瓷磚而不是一般新建築點那種樹脂感材料、浴缸塞子也有點不嚴了），但是整潔度、整體氛圍和景觀彌補了這一點，小陽台坐着看大海真的很舒服。 酒店餐廳還都挺好吃的（尤其日式和西式的兩個，比混合的buffet那家精緻些）。用餐需要特別提示一下：酒店幾家餐廳開放時間不一樣，要注意前台給的小單據上列出的每段時間的開放餐廳，而且建議利用好二維碼的預約服務和外帶盒服務（甚至有單獨的kid box，好吃且不浪費）。這家酒店的幾個餐廳都挺嚴謹的，有空桌也得預約了才能進（甚至如果walk in可能讓你等五分鐘他們去擺好桌子才邀請你進去），早餐高峯期也一樣。國慶這幾天客滿早餐都要排長隊，這時候網上取號或者直接去拿走外帶盒在屋裡吃就非常舒服了，不用門口擠着等。 交通不是很方便，所以大部分來的是開車的日本遊客，不開車來的話基本上衹能酒店閑逛了。 酒店門口的果凍海很美，適合躺平、挖沙。

お部屋もフロントもレストランもとても大人っぽく、デートや大人女子会にとてもおすすめのホテルです！部屋はとても清潔感があり、インテリアや部屋の色味等とても洗練されていました。洗面台にバスソルトがあり、それがとてもオシャレで入浴する際にワクワクしながら使用しました。ベランダにはソファとミニテーブルがあり、水平線を見ながらゆっくりすることができました！ レストランはほんとに雰囲気たっぷり！夜は間接照明のみで、他のお客さんがおられてもちょうど見えないようになっていました！半個室的な作りになっており、自分たちだけでおいしい沖縄創作料理を頂けてとても良かったです！朝食は提供されたところで頂いたのですが、お部屋でもレストランでもどこでも頂けるみたいです！3種類用意があり、そこから選ぶ形でした。私は洋食を選んだのですが、朝からしっかり食べれる量でした。色とりどりの野菜とパン、ヨーグルト等とても美味しかったです！また朝食はブランチとしての提供で、14時まで食べられるので朝ゆっくりしながら朝食を食べに行けるので良かったです！ フロントに小さなショップがあるのですが、そこにお部屋にあったバスソルトやコップが購入出来るようになっていて、とても魅力的でした！

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.

This place was superb and the sea view was wonderful. We were all impressed and staying here was very pleasant. I traveled a lot and found no place like Blue Steak Wonder. Every single detail is thoughtful and stylish. I liked Marks & Web bathing products and other eco dish ditergent & laundry liquid.　Very cozy place to stay, you can completely relax in here after a all-day-long schedule. The mattress was super comfortable. Bathroom was luxury. Dining table was long and vintage feeling style. we loved the vinyl record player and all the wooden furniture that makes a warm apartment feels like home. the self-check-in and code for the keybox, everything was very convenient! I have no negative comment on this condo. Will surely come back again when we are here.Highly recommend!!
