Hotel Nago dengan Spa

GW中の宿泊利用で、15:00前に到着。受付にお客はひと組だけで、すぐにチェックイン手続き出来ました。宿泊費は前払いでした。 部屋は7階で、窓から海が見えましたが、全面に広がっている、という風ではなく手前の林の方がよく目につきました。少し古い感じはするかもしれませんが、清潔感はあり居心地は良かったです。 プールは、植栽や並んだビーチチェアなどで、南国のリゾートホテルの雰囲気が良く出ていて、広さもあり、満足でした。 夕食はチェックイン時に予約し、19:00よりディナーブッフェを利用しました。 高級なメニューはありませんでしたが、色々な沖縄料理など豊富なメニューはどれも美味しく頂きました。 家庭料理的なメニューが多めでしたので、5,000円の金額に見合うか？とい部分は個々で様々な感想がありそうですが、私は大満足で食べ過ぎてしまいました。食後に現地で精算しました。 朝食はスタートの6:30の少し前に並びました。開店時は余裕があり、全員入店してもまだ空席はありましたが、7:00頃には満席で待ちが出ていたようです。 朝食はディナーブッフェとはまるで違うメニューでしたが、メニュー数は豊富にあり、沖縄料理のメニューもありました。こちらも美味しく頂き食べ過ぎました。 スタッフさんは気さくで感じの良い方ばかりしかお目に掛かりませんでした。高級ホテルのようなお大臣さまでも相手にしてるかのような接客ではありませんでしたが、私としては肩肘張らずにすみましたので、こんな感じの接客の方がくつろげます。高級ホテルのような接客を求める方だと、私とは違う感想を持たれるかもしれません。荷物も自分で部屋まで運びますし。金額は高級ホテルのそれよりは幾分お安いと思いますので、私にとっては大満足でした。

Our small group of friends enjoyed a 3 night stay at The Busena Terrace in Okinawa and only wished we could have stayed longer. We were there off season in early December so the outdoor pool was closed and the hotel was not very busy so we could enjoy the facilities with peace and quiet instead of the hustle and bustle of peak season in the summer. We were very fortunate that the weather cooperated and it was sunny and warm throughout our stay. The good weather also helped us to appreciate one of the hotel's key features - the stunning sunsets from your own room's private balcony. The hotel is old but the rooms have been recently renovated so everything in the room was in good condition. My room was on a higher floor with a large balcony that easily accommodated 4 people sitting out for drinks at sunset. The room itself is also very large with a sitting area next to the balcony and a large bathroom with both shower and bathtub. It was very comfortable. The setting of the hotel is very picturesque and you can see the view from everywhere in the facility. The property has both the Busena Terrace and a separate higher end hotel called The Terrace Club at Busena, and there are shops and restaurants located around the huge property, large enough that there is a tram service to go from one area of the property to another, though of course you can easily walk it too in 10 minutes or so. You will need a car if you wish to go out anywhere as the property is not located near anything else. Even a convenience store - except for the small bare basics one located on the property - would require a short drive as it would be a very long walk. Service everywhere is first class. We had the breakfast buffet at Cafe Terrace La Tida and there was a very good selection of food on offer including local specialties such as sea grapes salad and a Taco rice omelette on offer one day. Although the main outdoor pool was closed in December since it is off season, there is also a smaller indoor pool that can be used. For working out, there is a gym with many piece of cardio equipment but no weight training equipment. Upstairs from the gym there are separate Japanese baths and saunas for men and women. You can never get tired of the view as it changes from day to night. The setting of the hotel is beautiful and you are sure to enjoy your stay.

We love Okinawa Ritz-Carlton! Absolutely breathtaking grounds, exceptional service, and unique dining experiences! Executive chef Marcello prepared delicious pasta and whole fish Sardinian style in an Italian restaurant! Chef Shinya prepared fugu fish 5-course dinner in a Japanese restaurant. It was a little scary and unforgettable experience! Very friendly and great service from Arnaud, Fontana, and Christy. The Front office manager's service was impressive! He greeted us upon arrival, making sure everything went well helping with transportation or any other questions (just name it). If you decide to come to Okinawa, we highly recommend staying in Ritz-Carlton!

The Terrace Club at Busena stands out as one of my favorite hotels I have ever visited. My family and I want to personally thank everyone who worked at the resort - from the lovely wait staff at breakfast and happy hour...to the kind, accommodating front desk staff...to the sweet and capable spa personnel - all worked tirelessly to make our time there special. The resort design and interiors are restrained, tasteful and elegant and complement the natural scenery beautifully. I appreciated the smaller scale of the hotel, it is not an ostentatious out-of-place concrete high rise that is so typical of beach vacation destinations. The rooms exceeded our expectations with lots of ”oohs and ahhs” from our family when we first arrived. The look and feel of this place is quiet luxury. And we got so many amenities for a fair room rate, access to the amazing thalasso outdoor heated pool, complimentary happy hours, huge buffet breakfast, large size individual room terraces, access to their bigger sister resort with all its amenities just down the road, the list goes on. Finally our family found the right kind of hotel that suits our sensibilities - a beautiful, tasteful place with impeccable service, that still manages to maintain a down-to-earth, warm and friendly vibe. Everyone there was just so incredibly nice and lovely! Thank you all for an A+ stay!

The resort itself is beautiful. View of the ocean abound, two gorgeous pools, lots of space to walk or drive your resort-assigned golf cart. Here are the pros, cons, and MUST KNOW information. ****MUST-KNOW INFORMATION*** -The resort offers a rental car with room to people coming from out of the country. Do not make the same mistake we did. GET YOUR INTERNATIONAL DRIVER'S LICENSE before you leave your home country. It is easy and cheap, but once you leave home, it is impossible to get this. This resort is REMOTE, so if you cannot drive, you will spend a lot of cash on taxis to get anywhere outside of the resort. -The closest city/town in Nago, which has great grocery stores and restaurants. Highly recommend bringing some food with you or buying food off the resort property, in order to save a bit of money. The cheapest dinner option is approx. $45 per person (not counting if you want a glass or beer, sake or wine). -When you choose a room, it is NOT worth getting the highest priced Beach Condo unless you are coming with a large group and want to share one room. The beach condos offer less modern accommodations with no coffee provided and they are not necessarily as private as they seem. The pool offered is small and shared by 4 units - one of which has a huge window right in front of the pool. PROS: -Very professional and excellent service throughout the resort. We particularly enjoyed the staff at the buffet dinner restaurant. There were some international service members (Jersey from the Philippines provided STAND-OUT customer service with a smile) and spoke perfect English. -Incredible free breakfast! Hard to describe, but you can see some of this in the attached photos. Both American (eggs, pancakes, tater tots) and Japanese (rice, miso soup, tuna, sea****, steamed vegetables) traditional breakasts, many beverage options (iced/hot coffee and tea, juice, soda, water), and even options for kids/infants -If you have children under 5, this is a place that will cater to your needs. Most of the people at this resort are young couples with infants and toddlers. We even saw a family eating dinner with a full-on pack-n-play next to their table, so their baby could sleep through dinner. It is amazing. We did NOT see anyone breast-feeding publicly, but there are spaces provided to do this out of view of other guests. -The swimming pools are gorgeous and very-well cared for, as are the grounds. If you golf, you'll love the opportunity to hit the course while you are here. CONS: -If you do not speak any Japanese, you will find it difficult to communicate with staff. Thankfully one of us speaks and Google Translate is also helpful. -REMOTE - there is nowhere you can walk to from the property. No stores or restaurants within biking or walking distance. Make sure to have a car if you want to get off the property. -LOTS OF RULES - Japan is a rule-based society and this property is no different. Pools are open limited hour
