I stayed at the deluxe cottage of the clubhouse lodge as a place to stay during my trip, without playing golf. It seems to be standard to stay before or after playing golf, but I wanted to stay in a villa instead of a hotel, so I stayed here for the first time. It's less than 90 minutes by highway from the airport. There are no supermarkets nearby, so you have to get food and drinks in Naha or go to Nago. There is a convenience store within a 5-10 minute drive. There are no restaurants within walking distance, so it's a 5-10 minute taxi ride to the national highway where there are several. Check-in and check-out are done at the reception desk of the golf course clubhouse, but there is no shuttle service to the cottage, so you have to walk or drive there, which is inconvenient. The breakfast restaurant is also located inside the golf course clubhouse, so it's a hassle to get there. The building was a little old, but the bathrooms were renovated and clean. It was well-cleaned, except for some outdoor showers. The cottage has two twin bedrooms, and each is equipped with a bath, toilet, and sink, so it's easy to use. The shower booth and bathtub were separate, and the toilet with washlet was also partitioned, which was good. The main living room had a dining set, sofa, low table, microwave, refrigerator, electric kettle, disposable slippers, tea, coffee, mineral water, etc. There was a small private pool outdoors, but there were many small insects and beetles floating in it during the season, so I didn't feel like going in. There was a barbecue space outdoors, but it had no roof, so you couldn't use it in rainy weather. I rented a barbecue grill, but when I inquired in advance, I was told that it was 8,000 yen for the duration of my stay, but when I got there, I was told that it was 8,000 yen per night, so I stayed for two nights and returned it after one night. 8,000 yen per night is very expensive. The most disappointing and inconvenient thing was that there was no kitchen or sink in the cottage. It seems that the premium cottages have a kitchen. Furthermore, although there is a barbecue grill for rental, there are no knives, cutting boards, or cooking utensils for rental. I had no choice but to go to Nago city and buy them at a 100 yen shop. All that is provided is paper plates, disposable chopsticks, salt, pepper, and oil. You can also order food, but I didn't do that because it's not cost-effective. There are a lot of beetles and small insects at the barbecue, so people who don't like insects should be careful. The staff's attitude is average. The staff specialize in golf course reception, so they should learn how to receive and serve customers in the hotel industry.
