Halekulani Okinawa
Lots of children here but adult pools available. Not an ideal couples retreat. But the facilities and staff handle it well and we were not inconvenienced. Sunset wing seems quieter than beach wing. Huge property was enjoyable to walk and nearby roadside and seaside paths offer miles of jogging/ walking/biking. ...

THE NEST NAHA
Lovely clean room, feels newly renovated. Hotel as a whole feels like it should be a higher rating. Rooftop pool area also very nice. Would recommend and return anytime. In a convenient location from the airport.

Terrace Resort Mihama
Great spot! After travelling all over Japan and basically staying in shoe boxes, the Terrace resort felt like home. Everything was clean, beds were soft and cozy, and large closet to hang your clothes. Having a washer/dryer and a kitchenette was super handy too. The value here was unmatched.
