Takatsuki-yama Observatory

The rooms were very outdated considering this is a 5-star hotel. The furniture, from inside the room to out by the pool and beach was very uncomfortable. The food was extremely poor quality and ridiculously expensive. I felt sick after almost every meal. I wouldn’t eat this food if it was free. We tried 4 of the 5 restaurants so it was not a small sample size. One of the days the resort bussed in about 200 obnoxiously loud teens to have some sort of camp day. They took over the entire beach and ruined all tranquility and peace at the beach. The amenities were very lack luster considering the price of the hotel. I would not recommend this to anyone.

A good hotel located at the southern end of Kokusai-dori and close to the monorail. The Ryubo department store is close by too, with its excellent dining hall. The two bedroom apartment was huge. Breakfast was superb. All breakfasts are served in the rooms. We tried both the Japanese and Ryuyu (Okinawan) breakfasts. All snacks and drinks in the room bar are complimentary, and include local beverages and sweets.
