Beach Room

The Room size, facilities and amenities, cleanliness, and the breathtaking ocean view are all flawless. I think it offers far better value for money than staying at a nearby Resort Hotel. However, you may be a bit confused if you arrive expecting a typical Hotel. There is no front desk or management office; instead, it’s an Airbnb-style setup where you enter the PIN sent to you after completing pre-registration. In my case, the registration email ended up in my spam folder, so I didn’t know what to do on site and only figured it out after calling the emergency contact number. I tried to upload the required ID documents for verification, but the connection was poor and it was difficult; in the end, I had to get the PIN by phone in quite a rush. If you complete pre-registration in advance, check-in should be smooth, and from the second stay onward there likely won’t be any issues—but it would be helpful if IKYU clearly noted these differences from a standard Hotel in the Facility description as well. Please also note that there is no elevator. In addition, the entrance floor is made of stepping stones with water around them. It may look stylish, but if you drop your phone or anything similar it’s game over, and it’s inconvenient when carrying heavy luggage—so there seems to be room for improvement.

The sea stretches out before you, but unfortunately, it's raining. What seemed like it might be a slightly disappointing trip was completely transformed thanks to this Room. Swaying on the swing on the third floor, listening to the sound of rain and opening a book, it felt as if time belonged only to me. The indoor space was so thoughtfully arranged that I could enjoy my time comfortably anywhere, making it easy to save the sunny-day ocean view for my next visit. Unaffected by the weather, this place itself becomes the purpose of your journey—a truly special Room. I look forward to visiting again in a different season.
