AJ Resort Hotel Ikeijima Prices

The time they stayed at the AJ Resort Hotel Ikei Island was in April, which was not yet the peak tourist season in Okinawa. Because there were really no other restaurants or shops near the hotel, they chose a package that included breakfast and dinner when booking the room. The price of a family room with breakfast and dinner was about NT$6,300, which the rich man thought was quite a good deal.

outdoor swimming pool

The hotel has a swimming pool. Taking 2025 as an example, the opening hours of the swimming pool announced on the official website are from April 26th to October 14th. So the rich man didn’t get to experience it this time, but he has seen that the staff are busy tidying up the swimming pool. He is looking forward to it!

Private beach

After checking in in the afternoon, we quickly went to the private beach of AJ Resort Hotel in Ikei Island to test the temperature of the sea water. The high temperature in Okinawa in early April is about 20 degrees, so the sea water temperature in Okinawa is still very cold, but the rich man still tried it and confirmed that there was no problem playing in the waves at the beach. Phew~ It's a bit cold. The private beach is about 8 minutes away from the residence.

The photo of the beach at 6pm in the evening was empty and seemed to be reserved. The rich man felt that the beach was well maintained and there was almost no garbage. The sand was fine white sand and not prickly when walking on it, but it was still recommended to wear shoes or slippers.

It includes two double beds and a Japanese-style mattress. The rich man thinks that if the children are still young, they can choose a standard room type (without Japanese tatami) to save some travel expenses.

Unparalleled sea view sunrise

The room was right by the sea, and the rich man had never seen the sunrise. On a whim, he checked the sunrise time and it was 6:23, so he decided to try his luck and see if he could capture the beautiful scenery of the rising sun.

At 5:58 in the morning, the sky was already bright, so those who want to experience the full sunrise should go earlier.

Walking a little further towards the beach, at 6:16, a faint bright spot appeared.

I returned to the Japanese cottage at 6:40 to catch up on some sleep. In the photos I took from the balcony before going to bed, the brightness of the sun was already very obvious and it was so dazzling.

The dining time is only 90 minutes, plus I was delayed a bit by going to the beach at the beginning, so I arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes late. Hurry up and grill it!

In addition to barbecue meals, there are also sashimi, fried food, Japanese hot food, curry rice, kimchi, miso soup, fruit, ice cream, drink bar, etc., but alcoholic drinks are charged extra. The rich man thinks that the variety of meals is quite rich.

Rich man evaluation

Overall, the rich man felt that the experience at AJ Resort Hotel Ikei Island was quite good. The hotel has a private beach and should be very popular in the summer; the food is also satisfactory. The only pity is that the hot springs require additional payment, but overall, it is still highly recommended to friends who plan to travel to Okinawa.
