Brand new hotel! Okinawa Prince Hotel Ocean View Ginowan
Come to think of it, there was never a Prince Hotel in Okinawa, was there? But then I heard that they made their first entry into the market on April 12, 2022.
From Naha Airport, it takes about 40 minutes by car to arrive at the Okinawa Prince Hotel Ocean View Ginowan.
The price is not so cheap, but you can experience a brand-new, modern, and sophisticated resort.
All rooms have ocean views and are 33 square meters or larger, but if possible, we recommend the “Club Floor” with lounge access on the 14th floor, named “Umikaze (umi kaji),” an Okinawan-style name.
If possible, we recommend the “Club Floor” with access to the lounge on the 14th floor, named “Umikaze” (Okinawan style).
Enjoying the great nature of Okinawa in a lounge with the ocean in front of you will be a memorable experience in itself.
Point 1: Two infinity pools at Okinawa Prince Ginowan and Insta-worthy!
The hotel has infinity pools on the 2nd and 14th floors. Nowadays, more and more places in Okinawa have infinity pools, but it is rare to find two of them, isn’t it?
The infinity pools are right on the ocean, and the magic hour of beautiful sunrises and sunsets is the perfect motif! I can promise you Instagram-worthy photos.
However, the one on the 14th floor is an infinity pool exclusively for Club floor guests.
So club floor guests have access to both the 2nd and 14th floors!
The 2nd floor is oceanfront with the ocean just beyond, while the 14th floor has an infinity pool that looks as if it is overlooking the ocean and seems to suck you into the sea.
Point 2: You can enjoy Okinawa Prince Ginowan and delicious meals!
Prince hotels have long been known for their delicious food.
And when it is a brand new Prince-type hotel in Okinawa, it is easy to imagine how delicious it is.
All Day Dining Ginone, located on the first floor, represents Ginowan City in the Okinawan dialect and aims to be a restaurant rooted in the community.
It also employs a dynamic live kitchen and offers a menu featuring Okinawan ingredients and Okinawan-style desserts made with purple sweet potatoes and mangoes.
From breakfast to dinner, prices start at 3,500 yen, which is quite expensive, but considering the variety and rarity of the menu, it is understandable, don’t you think?
Point 3: There is a shuttle bus from Okinawa Prince Ginowan and the airport.
It takes about 40 minutes by car from Naha Airport to Ginowan City where the hotel is located. Especially if it is your first time in Okinawa, you may have a hard time finding a cab or bus stop because you do not know where you are going.
Besides, there are not many hotels in central Okinawa that offer shuttle bus service.
So you are forced to take a local bus or a cab.
In such cases, a shuttle bus that goes directly from the airport to the hotel is very convenient. However, there is a fee of 600 yen, but it is recommended rather than taking a more expensive cab or a local bus, which is difficult to find.
The fact that there is a dedicated shuttle bus is indeed a major Prince company. You can go directly to the hotel with peace of mind!
