THE HIRAMATSU Ginoza

• ★☆☆☆☆Andy Chueh8 February 2026

  I wrote the review in booking.com surprisingly it only appeared my star rating and the rest are missing, here I post again in google. [Overall & Service] Overall, the stay was acceptable. The reception staff provided a warm welcome, and the welcome tea and snacks were a nice, delicious touch. The team is friendly and their English proficiency is commendable. [The Room] Our corner room was a highlight, offering a rare sense of privacy with a small courtyard. However, the architectural layout is puzzling—most other rooms seem to face the walkway or are uncomfortably close to neighbors, which would have significantly impacted other stay. [The Lounge Issue] This is where the experience fell short of a NT$18,000/night standard. At 5:00 PM, the coffee machine in the cafe was out of milk, and every single snack plate was empty. For a luxury establishment, this lack of basic maintenance is unacceptable. [The Dining Experience] The culinary quality was shockingly inconsistent. • Day 1: The dinner was a major disappointment. While I understand small portions in fine dining, serving "stir-fried peanuts with brown sugar" as the first course—to be eaten by hand after the cutlery was removed—felt out of place. The rest of the meal was simply subpar. • Day 2: Strangely, the quality improved drastically. Dishes like the squid, shrimp, fish, and truffle risotto were excellent. It felt like a completely different kitchen. Caviar, which required an extra charge on Day 1, was served in a soba dish on Day 2. This inconsistency is baffling. • Child-friendliness: I would not recommend this for families. My son’s salmon rice ball that had a strong fishy odor, which he couldn't eat. [Conclusion] Visiting in February meant there were few activities available, yet the premium pricing remained. Given the inconsistency in dining and the lack of attention to detail in the lounge, I find it hard to recommend this hotel over other luxury options in the same price bracket.

  A beautiful ocean-view villa, where Okinawa’s unique turquoise and cobalt blue sea stretches endlessly. This is a place that makes it possible to spend timeless hours simply gazing at the water. The local staff are friendly yet unobtrusive.

  Everything was so good, this hotel is truly a food lovers heaven. we didn't want to leave! Dinner was outstanding (especially the Motobu picanha) and the standard wine pairing portion goes well. Breakfast amazing with the delicious pate and great selection of juices. Room feels quite tropical. Definitely get a room on the 2nd floor, as the room at 1st floor faces the pathways and there is no privacy for these rooms
