Quaint and tranquil CanNa Resort VillaDate Posted: 2012-06-29 ![]() ![]() ![]() CanNa Resort Villa is one of the highest grade resort hotels in Okinawa, spread across a 3,000 tsubo, or 9,000 square meter site, but with only 30 villas for visitors. Those villas are all suite types, with 15 set up as twin rooms, and 14 others configured as double rooms. One building is used only for beauty parlor services. Villas are designed in two styles. Some are with a wooden outside deck, while others have garden type yards. There are pluses and minuses to each, with much of the decision-making based on personal preference. Some villas have a breathtaking ocean view. A little more expensive? Sure. But if you lodge at a villa that doesn’t have the ocean view, the sticker price is a bit less. It’s all in what you want. CanNa Resort Villas has just introduced a special package plan where visitors can stay for ¥12,800 per person per night, and that includes breakfast and dinner in a twin type villa. The special runs July 13th. As with all resorts, basic prices for rooms vary according to season, so it’s best to call the hotel for specifics. In general, weekday prices are cheaper than on weekends, and special discounts are offered to those making reservations at least `90 days in advance. The year is broken into three seasons, and prices vary by season and hotel demand. Holiday periods like Golden Week are typically more expensive than a late spring or early fall travel time. There are standard rates, and also Early Bird and deals for people staying more than two months, and others for those making advance bookings. The customer’s preferences are always taken into consideration. For example, a garden type villa provides a private BBQ in the garden. All rooms are equipped with American style Simmons made beds.
