The Best Western Okinawa Koki Beach is located on the oceanfront in Nago, Okinawa’s main island. Since it is built on the beachfront, all guest rooms have ocean views! This is a cozy hotel where you can experience dynamic sunsets and numerous marine activities.
Point 1: Best Western Okinawa Koki Beach, a variety of types of rooms with good cost performance
The Best Western Okinawa Koki Beach stands near Koki Beach in Nago, about an hour’s drive from Naha Airport and relatively close to Naha.
Best Western is an American hotel chain based in Phoenix, Arizona, with more than 4,200 hotels in 110 countries and regions.
There are many Best Western hotels in Japan and Okinawa, and there are hotels here on Koki Beach and Onna Beach.
The interiors are gorgeous, as if from a foreign company while incorporating Ryukyu Kasuri and other fabrics. Room types range from standard twin rooms to deluxe and executive, and the new annex, which opened in April 2022 with a simpler interior than the main building, also offers superior and premium twin rooms.
The new wing has a woody interior that gives it an even more premium room feel.
Prices are a little higher on the higher floors, but all include breakfast, and even standard rooms are reasonably priced at a little over 10,000 yen per night for two people!
Considering that all rooms have ocean views, are over 30 square meters in size, have a large veranda with chairs and tables, are near the Underwater Park and Roadside Station, and are only a 10-minute drive from sightseeing spots such as Kouri Island, they are not luxurious, but I feel they are very cost-effective.
Point 2: Best Western Okinawa Koki Beach Marine activities abound!
The Best Western Okinawa Koki Beach is only a 30-second walk from the beach! You can access the beautiful white sand beach through the door next to the front desk.
On the beach, you can experience a tropical fish feeding tour, marine walk, and parasailing. There is also a special package plan called “Para Marine Walk”!
There is also a “sandbox set” available for children to rent!
Point 3: The Best Western Okinawa Koki Beach and “35 Coffee” also have a terrific breakfast!
Breakfast at the Best Western Okinawa Koki Beach is full of Okinawan cuisine as well as Japanese and Western dishes! Even pork shabu-shabu is included.
The restaurant also offers a variety of seating options, including regular tables and chairs overlooking the ocean, as well as sofas and counter-seats!
And the coffee is “35 (coral) coffee,” made by heating “weathered coral,” which is only available in Okinawa, to over 200 degrees Celsius, and roasting the green coffee beans. The heat from the coral allows the beans to roast slowly, giving the coffee its original mild flavor.
Since coral is prohibited from being taken out of the prefecture, this means that coffee can only be consumed in Okinawa.
