this is what it's like saying at a 400
luxury hotel resort in Okinawa
[Music]
so here I am in Okinawa Japan and I
wanted to share with you guys this
luxury resort hotel just a few months
ago I shared with you a luxury hotel
Onsen and a few of you guys said you
wanted to see more of these type of
videos so here it is again I brought the
family to share this entire experience
with all of you that said let's start
from the beginning
so they said this place is going to be
about five minutes from the airport but
it's taken just a little bit longer
[Music]
so this time around we're staying at the
hoshinoya Okinawa luxury resort
[Music]
I think we rented a car near the airport
as this Okinawan Resort is about an hour
and a half away
so I brought our little safety warnings
saying that I'm a new driver here in
Japan even though I'm not but since I
don't drive very much it's always good
to have these little warning labels in
the front and the back
okay so we just arrived a little bit
later because you know we were having
lunch are we having dinner I think the
front gate is closed and it says right
there that just calm on the intercom
so we're just waiting for them right now
oh there's a guy coming
[Music]
okay so we just arrived and this place
looks amazing you don't really see a lot
of hotels that kind of have this finish
the tables and it was nice when we came
in they already put the bedrooms up for
him edited the whole entire check-in
right here which is pretty cool you know
it's always nice and hey we also got a
golf cart ride all the way here I think
we're gonna just try to put him to sleep
and then when we wake up I'll try to
give you a tour of this place so for now
start off from tomorrow morning
foreign
this is the start of our day Wolfie just
woke up open up the blinds just let all
of the light into this space we actually
had quite a good night's sleep I didn't
have any issues Michael do you have any
issues
no no yeah so
um let me just give you a quick tour of
this place before we go on so the room
we're staying in is a tin Oceanfront
standard Suite off the bat do you think
this is already worth a 400 per night
price tag well watch a bit more and
we'll see this is kind of the main
living area right here and then you have
these two like huge windows on both
sides and there's actually a screen that
comes down that you can open up and the
wind can just pass through just the
ocean breeze just gonna come the ocean
is just right there in front of us they
also have a cute patio on the beach side
you have a pretty large refrigerator
back here you get the Nespresso machine
microwave and like cups and everything
they offer snacks and drinks but they're
not free so I've got to be a bit mindful
of what I grab on this day they do offer
a complimentary basket of bug spray
which I guess is nice then in this
bedroom right here it's like I don't
even know it's like a king size super
super duper bed I don't even know what
you call it when it's bigger than a
king-sized bed super king I don't know
you guys can let me know in the comments
in the closet you'll find super comfy
pajamas and room air for this day and of
course there's a standard safe there too
the bathroom was super clean and I could
tell it's well kept they also offer kids
soap which is convenient for us
basically they had all of the amenities
which meant that we really didn't need
to bring anything and the toilet it's
your standard awesome Japanese watch
list splash splash
so what do you think of this place so
far
um
I love you
sudden disciples did you see the plants
the plants are so pretty the tropical
plants I don't know how hot it is
outside yet because I haven't gone
outside we're gonna have breakfast so
let's go do that right now
this morning we decided to have
breakfast at the restaurant they also
offer in-room breakfast on reservation
both get booked up rather quickly so if
you're planning to stay here you're
going to want to schedule your breakfast
plans in advance
the restaurant offers a fun juice bar
which Michael and Wolfie very much
enjoyed
[Music]
so we just got our food and it all looks
amazing there's just so much food here
just look at this selection you have
this Frittata with poached egg you have
some sausage some soup yogurt bread
fruits and this French Italian style
salad wow and if you get that uq
breakfast our fish you shoot tofu your
food day pork Japanese
omelette condiments seasoned rice
[Music]
yeah oh my God also miso soup fresh
Okinawan style salad and some fruits and
what's interesting about this place
right now is we've just come after
golden week so it's almost like we have
this place all to ourselves apparently
it was just completely packed for Golden
week but now this is like our own
private paradise and look at the even
have some ice cream on the plate
strawberry
the ice cream is actually not so sweet
but it's more of like a papaya or Melon
this is just the right amount of
refreshes what an amazing breakfast
you can do it hey
oh yeah
let's go out to the pool so we are gonna
go right now
[Music]
yeah you do you're bloody
when we go on vacation these days I try
to make sure Wolfie gets a plenty of
pool time since it's one of the things
he really gets to do in Tokyo at his age
I mean he loves it so much just look at
his face this alone as a parent makes
any price tag worth it
Michael inning
[Music]
after some heavy play at the pool we
took a break in the poolside gazebo area
in fact the pool offers a free soft
drinks and some cookies which is pretty
nice but one thing I did find a bit
surprising was that they don't allow any
outside food or drinks since they don't
offer any food here even if it was
ordered from their own restaurants I
would have loved to spend a day here
with Wolfie and have some poolside lunch
so I don't know kind of made me feel
like it was a bit too luxury for me I'm
sure everyone else would be fine with it
though
oh wow this place is beautiful I can't
say it enough this is perfect because
like I said earlier there is no one here
right now which makes it even more
amazing it's like our own little private
Paradise I got my beer right here
is
that is amazing I love how there's just
so much nature here you can see all the
trees and the flowers and this pool is
actually pretty massive it goes from
over here all the way and like curls
around and it's pretty nice for kids
because this area right here is just a
few inches deep so kids could just play
and hang out so you don't have to worry
about them you have just all these like
private Cabanas and like seats and some
of them over there just overlooking the
ocean this is kind of what we needed
just a little like time to relax with
family our schedules have been quite
busy and we're a little bit behind we've
been filming a lot but just getting it
all out and edited but you know we just
wanted to say hey we got to spend some
family time we've been pushing so hard
we're setting up our new office so yeah
thank you guys for supporting the
channel one thing though I should say
that we are not getting paid to do this
video we came here we paid for it
ourselves we came here just because we
wanted to go to this place
[Music]
after washing up we headed out for lunch
to Banta Cafe and Olu Grill which is
just inside of the facility
it's located on the edge so it's about a
10 minute walk from our room but the
cafe offers only Cafe food so I went to
Ola Grill to get a burger
[Music]
okay so we are here just in front of the
ocean you can see this really really
amazing view I think it's low tide right
now so let me just show you my burger I
got the ODU burger here look at this
amazing Burger let's take a bite of this
[Music]
that is a good burger tomatoes are
popping the lettuce is crunchy it's
cheesy the meat is good look how just
drippy this burger is a bun is also nice
hmm
this is a Mighty Fine Burger this is
perfect Beach Burger got Wolfie eating
his french fries back there you want
another one you're good
Michael and Wolfie order their cheesy
hot dog soft shell crabs and onion rings
what do you think Michael this place you
know like this do you focus cafes you
know you don't expect to have a good
food they actually have really good food
I'm going over here
the whole thing
[Music]
some jewelry
the outside seating area is connected to
the beach so Michael movie decided to
see if they could find some crabs and
shells
[Music]
and of course we picked up Okinawa ice
cream on the way back
how is it good

[Music]
okay so this is one of the more magical
things about this place is that they'll
come to your room and bring dinner
for dinner we're having in-room dining
one of the differences that this
Japanese Resort Hotel is that the food
is served refrigerated and is meant to
be cooked by you in the room the food
comes with a simple recipe for each dish
but of course you can ask a staff to
help you cook if you really need it look
at this is his home cooking
[Music]
probably hopefully join us halfway
through we'll see
[Music]
it was perfect for us because Wolfie's
naps went on vacation are a bit more
random so it's easier to adjust our
eating time based on when he's going to
wake up I'll just look at this setup
Michael kind of just arranged all the
plates and making it look super super
nice as you can see we ordered the
Japanese set which has an Okinawan
influence it comes with steamed
shellfish with aomori mix Sashimi rafute
stewed pork Soki soba Okinawan style
rice porch and Okinawan specialty side
dishes and desserts okay
still a little tired huh let me just try
this assorted Sashimi with three kinds
of fish
whoopies are struggling just a little
bit with the puzzle
it's interesting it has like a really
strong peanut taste this is really good
I feel like they've added kind of like
an Okinawa recipe to all of this stuff
well it was a perfect relaxing dinner
for our family
faster
[Music]
the next day we went to the beach you
can walk when it's quite hot today so we
decided to take a card at the entrance
[Music]
this quiet beach is called Kima and it's
full of coral kind of Rocky and the sand
is a bit rough so it's not really the
best for swimming but it's great for
Gathering shells perfect for Wolfie
since he's been into this picture book
these days about a hermit crab trying to
find a new shell for his home what's
this purple it's a hermit crab he's
inside
[Music]
naturally he thought he could have all
the crabs on the beach to find a new
home it's always so nice to take Wolfie
out here to let him play with the ocean
and the shells the beach just everything
all up
[Music]
okay well it is what it is Wolfie didn't
take his midday two-hour nap so he's a
bit cranky
earlier
[Music]
the reservations at the hotels Okinawa
Sicilian restaurant same spot as
breakfast hopefully he's gonna feel a
bit better after getting some food in
his stomach
[Music]
[Laughter]
so was there last night and we decided
to have their luxury course dinner which
uses Okinawa the ingredients in their
Sicilian Cuisine wow just look at this
amazingness I believe this is a prawn
jelly with a carrot a puree and you get
Umi budo on top look how extravagant
that looks right there
wow that's a shrimp so such an
interesting and delicate taste it is a
carrot puree on top you don't find this
in any fast food spots I love how even
the towels smell a bit here that's kind
of like a nice hibiscus smell hmm
look at this it's served on top of the
ocean that's amazing and it looks like
it has some seafoam on top I think this
is a skip Jack tuna and chilled tomato
caponelli I don't even know if I deserve
to be eating this it looks just too nice
wow that's kind of a super refreshing
for the tomatoes that has a little bit
of the pop the Sea Foam has a little bit
of saltiness una has kind of a smoky
taste to it this is quite an interesting
platter
[Music]
wow look at this it says it's called a
tender bun basically it's a new q
lacquerware that holds all of their
Cuisine because they use it for the
Palace of the uq kingdom and we get it
served to us today if you look inside
it's divided into nine different pieces
and supposedly supposed to show like a
splendor of all of the dynasty tender
bun I still can't understand Tundra bun
so this is the collagen tan pork tongue
and bibigar with sourness lemon it's a
tomato porridge base and classic Italian
recipe with Okinawa seasoning called
korageu and this is the goat kakatur
papaya botagara creamy potato puree with
octopus tuna prosciutto and fruit papaya
and a caponota of nabera and eggplant
cauliflower purple sweet and potato
fruit last but not least an Italian rice
croquet arancini with a hint of
chicawasa lemon then it continued on to
an amazing pasta dish don't know if I'm
going to pronounce it correctly but I'll
sure try tonarelli with a pork Ragu
Sauce and grouper carto and Okinawan
Whitefish baked in a paper wrapper it
was super moist and had the perfect
savory seasoning check this out we have
some wagyu from Kumamoto and it smells
amazing too let's take a bite of this
[Music]
I thought that was gonna be a tomato
slice but it's actually a sauce really
nice kind of savory the meat tastes like
it's been smoked and it's kind of like a
Nutty flavor this is life more than I
ever imagined too extravagant for me
this is just so much food I thought that
last one was the last one but this is
the last one apparently well he's going
crazy we're just gonna call it a night
