Central Okinawa hotel guide. Independent hotel in Central Okinawa, Okinawa Prefecture

"Great location, probably the best, right by the beach and American Villlage. Staff was friendly and professional. Rooms were very spacious and clean. I would definitely stay in again."

"The hotel was fine but Hilton really nickle and dimed the experience to really diminish the stay. Because i booked a package through expedia none of my hilton honors amenities remained. No breaksat. No internet. No points. Nothing to make being a member worth ever returning for the exorbitant price point. Hallways smelled of mildew. Excercise room did not match photos it was significantly smaller and shared with a double tree property. 3 days was very pricey. For that much money it was very disappointing. I recommend stating at a non hilton brand "

"Fantastic location with private beach. Clean room and many ammenities. Staff were very helpful and the Spa massage session was amazing."

"Halekulani Okinawa exceeded every expectation and was easily the most luxurious resort we experienced during our time in Japan. Traveling as a family of four, we chose to splurge on two rooms in the Sunset Beach Tower, and it was absolutely worth it. The rooms were stunning, thoughtfully designed, and fully equipped with premium amenities. From the stocked minibar and Nespresso machine to the beach bag and sandals you can take home, every detail felt elevated. The inclusion of comfortable pajamas added an extra layer of comfort. Housekeeping was exceptional with daily service and a relaxing evening turndown. Service across the entire resort was outstanding. Every staff member we encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely eager to help, creating a welcoming and seamless experience throughout our stay. Dining was a highlight. We enjoyed dinners at House Without a Key, which offered a perfect casual setting with great seafood, pasta, and salads, and Steak & Wine for a more upscale experience. The quality of food was excellent across the board. Steak & Wine is on the pricier side, but the experience and quality matched the cost. Be sure to book reservations in advance as slots open daily and fill quickly. We chose to explore local cafés for breakfast, which was a great way to experience the island. The resort is also conveniently located near several excellent dining options. The gym was well-equipped, and the pool areas were beautiful and relaxing. 5 Stars all the way!!"

"Older hotel, but beautiful. It’s not easy to get to from the airport if you are taking a taxi or limo bus. Takes about 2 hours with traffic. Multiple restaurants, but there is usually long lines for the buffets. Absolutely gorgeous ocean views. Only two out of three elevators were working and we were on the 9th floor, so on average it took between 5-10 minutes of waiting during busy times to get on an elevator. Most times we were crammed in like sardines and stopped at every floor. Property is walkable and there are hidden little beaches everywhere. You can rent an e-bike and ride around. We rode to the lighthouse and into town. The staff were excellent and the rooms were huge. Only a few restaurants were open in March. I guess more open up over the summer, but finding options were limited. There is a little town square about a 12 minute walk from the hotel that has more dining options. "

"parking was easy. you need a car. i got a Japanese style room but the ac isn't strong enough so you needed a fan and it is a bit dated and musky smelling. "

"Excellent stay. Very friendly staff as most Okinowans are. Rooms were very spacious and clean. Hotel has several restaurants and gift shop options. Breakfast was excellent with about 100 food options to pick from each morning. I recommend the Japanese only breakfast. Beach was gorgeous and right next to the hotel. Parking costs 500 yen per day. Indoor pool was large and clean. There are many other amenities. "

"The AC and the room lights were only controlled by inserting the room key. We could not shut the light off without turning the AC…. So it’s either bright when you sleep with the lights on with AC or lights and off with AC off and hot."

"The hotel was set to heating and our rooms were extremely warm all day unfortunatley. There werent even fans they could offer us. But it was still a good stay."
