Independent North Okinawa hotels

"An amazing respite from the busy dizzy world. Truly a RESORT. Phenomenal beaches and most comfortable spacious accommodation with multiple restaurant options. Its remoteness is an asset if wanting a retreat . Unfortunately the prices are on the high side. If wanting to explore, a car is a necessity. A negative is the 11 a.m. check out AND THE HOURLY OVER CHARGES ."

"Great hotel for families. Friendly staff. "

"Nice resort hotel on an island surrounded by tombs/graves and assessable only by link bridge from Okinawa Island."

"Staff were great. Food was great. Outdoor pools were closed. Great value. Property could use an update."

"Excellent accommodations with great breakfast."

"Was so disappointed in the water temperature. It was just slightly warm. I was diving in the ocean every day and really needed to warm up my body temperature. I never could get warmed up. All three days I was praying for hot water but never got it! Very bummed. Other than this the hotel was fine. Pretty beach decent food."

"I was horrified by our room when I check in. The carpet was gross with so many stains. It was not at all what the pictures looked like. Staff at front desk were not nice. Strictly business. I showed up at 1:30 after a long travel day only to be told, check in is at 3:00. The hotel was empty, they were not busy. I left my bags and came back at 3:00. I would never stay here again and definitely can’t recommend this hotel to anyone. "

"We stayed in a club room. The check-in for club guests went really smoothly with friendly and courteous staff. While the welcome drink was definitely appreciated, it was important to our stay to have the facilities explained to us (closures/lounge times/offerings). Having said that, we experienced a challenge with language which complicated our understanding of what was available. The room was bright and well-appointed. The club lounge offered a great variety of food and beverages and clearly marked the foods which, as a guest with severe allergies, was extremely helpful. We had full days in Okinawa and found the removal of food at 19:00 each evening too early and inconvenient. We sought activity recommendations and transportation suggestions from the front desk. The staff tried to be helpful but they spoke little English and had to consult a book about activities and transportation. Given The Oriental’s status as a higher end international hotel, I would have expected a specific concierge position who would be well-versed in local activities and have multilingual skills. While the hotel is not on the beach, arranging drop-off and pick-up shuttle service to the beach and public transportation was easy and wait time was short. The hotel’s location is great if you are using public transportation to get to/from the airport and visit sights along the west coast if you don’t have a car. We didn’t rent a car and found public transportation very convenient. "
