Minatogawa 5 Stars Hotels

"We stayed at Ryukyu Hotel & Resort Nashiro Beach for three nights and found it to be a great option for families, especially those with young children. The pools and beach were the highlights of our stay. However, do note that the afternoon tide can significantly lower the water level, making swimming less enjoyable during those hours. We visited during a very hot and rainy period, which limited some activities. Breakfast and lunch at the hotel were excellent, with a good variety and quality. That said, if you don’t have a rental car, transportation becomes a challenge,taxis are necessary to reach nearby cities or attractions. A key tip: renting a car in Okinawa requires an International Driver's Permit (IDP), which you must obtain in advance (e.g., from AAA in the U.S.). We were surprised by this requirement and unable to rent a car, which limited our ability to explore the island fully. Additionally, any tours or island visits often need to be booked well in advance, so plan ahead. The hotel caters mostly to families with children. While it’s a very nice property, adults traveling without children may find the atmosphere less relaxing."
