Words can barely describe how exquisite our stay was. After traveling the Japanese mainland and Okinawa, we stayed for six consecutive nights with breakfast and dinner included as the final stop on our journey. The hotel’s location on the kouri-island, with surrounding views over the ocean truly is unique. From all we have seen on our travel, the Kouri-island was the truly best finish to our travel. Culinarily, the hotel’s “Bombance”-restaurant offers enriching experiences, with an amazing deep-dive into the Japanese kitchen. Noteworthy is the attention that the staff pays to one’s food-preferences as well as the fact that we also had two nights where Japanese specialty cooking was practiced. Breakfast is rich and diverse, with the choice between European and Japanese breakfast. The pool, spa and sports facilities are top-notch and quiet. A nice amenity is the poolside “happy hour” with drinks (beer, prosecco and non-alcoholic) “on the house” from 12 until 6 o’clock. The hotel is a center of tranquility and relaxation, where one must not care about anything. This would not have been possible without the excellent, friendly and thoughtful staff. On our day of departure even a breakfast-box was prepared as we couldn’t participate at normal breakfast. It sure is unique to have been to a hotel where literally everything was perfect.

Nothing at all

The property and pool was spectacular. We also loved the hotel gym, sauna and ice bath offered in the spa pool area of the hotel. The staff was so kind and helpful. We planned an excursion and they packed a lunchbox of waters and Pocari Sweats for us. They also provide free transportation to any restaurants or locations that you would like to go on Kouri island. The free beer and snacks for happy hour on the pool was an added touch. Meals at la BOMBANCE were incredible as well.

The only negative (that the hotel can’t control) is that the taxi ride from the airport to the hotel costed us $250 which was painful

We have traveled a lot and stayed in many amazing places and hotels but this hotel is by far one of the best ones we stayed at. The location, the rooms; the pool, the restaurant and the super quality of the food, the little shop that sells wonderful treasures of the island; the amazing spa and treatments. All was so great! But what makes this place really really special is the staff and all the attention to details. We enjoyed our 4 days here and although it is quite remote it is 100% worth it! Thanks team for taking SO GOOD CARE OF US!

What a wonderful hotel. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful - it really felt like they went above and beyond. Both pool areas were lovely, the hot tub on our terrace was great for in the evenings and the views, just wow. We also did the chefs table omakase which was an amazing experience. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

Incredibly attentive and friendly staff. Stunning views and beautiful room.

Would have been good to know up front that the ‘half board’ option involved a rigid 9 course taster menu every night which is predominantly seafood (which isn’t too everyone’s taste) but the staff were extremely accommodating when we asked for something different one evening.

Incredibly attentive and friendly staff. The place is absolutely gorgeous. Breakfast was amazing, with the choice between European and Japanese breakfast. A nice amenity is the poolside “happy hour” with drinks (beer, prosecco and non-alcoholic) from 12 until 6 o’clock. I only wish my stay here had been longer.

Only things to love about my stay. The staff literally could not be more kind and accommodating. The rooms and views are breathtaking. Splurge and get a spa treatment, you will be so happy you did! I only wish my stay had been longer :)

The location is amazing, the pool is breathtaking and the restaurant is good as well. I forgot a bag there and the staff really helped me to solve the issue by promptly shipping the bag to Tokyo

Awesome food!
