One Suite THE GRAND

I’ve stayed at many Hotels in Okinawa, and this was by far the most satisfying stay.As soon as we arrived on Kouri Island, I honestly felt it was a true hidden-gem Hotel—you wouldn’t know where it was until you got there.The Room, lobby, and restaurant were all spotless, and the fresh aroma scent was incredibly soothing.We enjoyed breakfast and dinner for three days. Every dish was beautifully presented, truly delicious, and more than generous in portion size. The menu changed every day, which made it exciting.Above all, I was deeply impressed by the hospitality of every staff member. I can’t even put into words how moving their service was.Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great, but we fully enjoyed the sauna, pool, and lounge—three wonderful days in total.This time I stayed with my wife, and she was very happy as well.During our stay we learned that they have received Michelin recognition for two consecutive years—completely understandable.There were also several international guests staying here; it’s impressive, and I truly hope you keep up the great work.I definitely want to stay again!Thank you very much.

This was my third stay during Golden Week. I first came here after a friend recommended it two years ago, and I’ve been completely captivated by this Hotel ever since. Above all, I’m always moved by the owner’s thoughtful attention to every detail. The staff also quickly sense your preferences and how you’re feeling, offering perfectly natural care that lets you relax in comfort and peace.For dinner, we made a Reservation for counter seating. Each year I’m amazed by the Chef’s ever-evolving cuisine—my stomach couldn’t be happier. With a Multiple Night Stay, you really feel just how outstanding the Chef’s skills are (and the conversation too). The sommelier is all warmth and smiles, with deep knowledge; every time she introduces wines and sake I’ve never tried before, making the conversation enjoyable and the drinks go down easily.And at night, we head to Bar TIn. The bartender is truly gentle in the most comforting way, with great stories that soothe the heart. It’s so cozy that we end up staying until closing every time (sorry!). The live piano performance in the bar has such a tender tone that it elevates everything into pure bliss.Now on my third visit, I’ve built connections with so many wonderful people—this castle-like Hotel only strengthens my feeling of “See you next year!” Owner, staff, Chef, sommelier, bartender—this truly rainbow-colored team offers exceptional hospitality that leaves me happy even after returning home. Thank you again for Golden Week next year as well.
