Ken Hotels in Itoman

Another trip to Japan! This time, before my whirlwind tour of Kansai, I took a vacation in Okinawa! I wanted to beat the summer rush and embrace the ocean. I booked a premium room at this popular hotel in advance, purely for the relaxation it offered. During peak season, a standard room here can go for over 3,000 yen a night, so it definitely lives up to its price! The hotel is about a dozen kilometers from Naha Airport and Kokusai Dori, which isn't too far. Its location is quiet and a bit secluded, but the environment is superb, and the facilities are very new! Check-in was a bit slow because the staff explained everything in such detail. On the bright side, the room was spacious, tidy, and clean. The bathroom amenities were plentiful, and the hair ties were super cute, though I forgot to snap a pic. Soaking in the tub with their bath salts was incredibly comfortable! The hotel's complimentary slippers and beach bag matched my bikini perfectly! I loved the whole look – too bad I got my period and couldn't go for a swim. The hotel service was also very thoughtful! Breakfast was incredibly rich and varied! During meals, staff would give each table a small card. After finishing your meal, you could flip the card over, which prevented the awkward situation of your table being cleared if you or your group went to get more food. Besides its own restaurant, the hotel has many other delicious dining options, but they require advance reservations! This time, I just wanted to relax and didn't visit other Okinawa attractions, so I didn't rent a car. Otherwise, parking at this hotel is also very convenient! Since we didn't request housekeeping during our stay, the hotel even gave us a 3,000 yen credit to spend at the gift shop downstairs upon check-out. Good times on vacation always fly by quickly. Every time I've come to Okinawa, it's rained, but luckily, on the last day, the sun came out, and I saw the jelly-like ocean! I'll definitely book this hotel again next time I come to Okinawa!
