Minna Island Luxury Vacations

Amazing harbor views from the room, impressive indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and a panoramic sunset view from the 13th-floor bar featuring delicious Caprese salad, sandwich, Okinawan sausage, and a good drinks selection including local Awamori. Even the tantamen (spicy noodles) from the Chinese restaurant (13th floor) was flavorful. The breakfast (Paseo Garden) and lunch (Annon) buffets were excellent, and the staff were very helpful. The hotel is next to a stadium and Ginowan Seaside Park for safe, well-lit evening walks. The room could use a bit of updating but didn’t detract from the great experience. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed staying here. We will recommend this to our friends.

The hotel is locates in a quiet and peaceful area, they have an incredible Nikai beach on a site. There is also a decent swimming pool. Staff were really attentive and helpful all the time. Breakfast and lunch were top notch with good variety of options available. Parking is free for the guests so you can enjoy short trips around. There is also Gala in 10 min walk (2 min drive) where you can find little souvenir shop, few cafes, snorkelling and diving company (highly recommend to use them), horse riding etc.

Breakfast had limited choices.

The hotel itself (build quality and amenities) were excellent, and they live up to a design ethos which tries to incorporate the local culture into the build. The rooms are spacious and indeed have a gorgeous view of the ocean. They also have both free and for-pay activities in the hotel that reflect the local culture. They even have local pottery work from famous local artists adorned around the property. Where, I think they could potentially do better: (1) Although the hotel is on the "beach", the beach itself is rocky and has seaweed. There are much better beaches in Okinawa, so if you want to spend time actually swimming or playing in the ocean there are much better beaches in Okinawa. (2) There are a couple of restaurants--prices are high for pretty average food. There are many better and cheaper options outside of the hotel. (3) The pool is shaped in an interesting way, but we did not find it a particularly beautiful or inviting pool to spend time in or around. (4) The staff overall seemed tired and detached. Very few warm and genuine smiles, which is rare for Japan and Asian hospitality.

We stayed here for our honeymoon and had an absolutely wonderful time. The staff were incredibly helpful, friendly, and polite throughout our stay. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of fresh and delicious options every morning. The Thalasso Spa was definitely the highlight of our trip—it was so relaxing and made our stay even more special. We can’t wait to come back again. Thank you, Busena, for such a memorable experience!

アメニティーがよかった。 庭や玄関周りの落ち葉や虫が気になった。 室内アリが気になった。 キッチンペーパーやアルコールシートがあれば助かったと思いました。

No option to buy coffee at the hotel in the morning. Had teabag coffee in rooms, but not great. They offered coffee and drinks in the evenings via Beautiful place to stay with nice outdoor pool and seating areas. Very friendly staff.

Nice hotel - but tricky to find
