"Wonderful stay! The staff was very helpful, and our Japanese-style room was peaceful and quiet. The amenities were great, and the unique Okinawa ocean theme gave the hotel a lovely local charm. Parking on-site was easy, and having a grocery store within a 5-minute walk was super convenient"

"The staff was very nice, gave me some local recommendations even without me asking! Not a fan of the whole guest house experience, but it's nice to have a private room at least. Kinda feels like, as the name suggests, i'm just in someone's house and didn't like how i had to walk by people to go to the restroom l"

"Excellent place for those who want to get away from the busy city's. The house was clean tidy and the host is very friendly.
The only downside (and it's only slight) is the local bus is only 4 times a day and the more frequent buses are 15-20 min walk away."

"We had a short but enjoyable stay here. The room was very comfortable and the area is beautiful. The owners were very kind and friendly. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended."

"Old place and very hard to find. We found directions when google reccomended 'places nearby' somehow the directions on Expedia kept sending us to the wrong place. Its quite close to Pizza in the Sky so we kept using that as our GPS reference point. The host was very nice lady and the view from the patio is incredible. Again very old and a little dusty but so charming. Just dont expect to be able to walk to konbini after dark. Nothing close by you will need rental car for sure."

"Cosy and lovely guesthouse in Okinawa. The hosts were very kind and welcoming and played some music for us to enjoy. There were also maps and lots of things available to do - it is a shame it rained for most of the trip. I would definitely come back to stay again!"

"I am American and my beach vacations are usually to Mexico. Please keep that in mind when reading my review as that is what I will compare most of it to. I am spoiled. If you are familiar with that type of resort, this will dissapoint you.
1. If you are expecting something nice and modern you will not get that here. This hotel is very outdated. The service is on par for a nicer hotel. The staff was 4/5, Actual hotel probably 2/5. The AC is very weak and Okinawa is hot and humid. The first night we were sweating and had to call for a fan. We left the ac running the next day and it was much more comfortable. Also the parking lot is far from the hotel. They do have a shuttle though.
2. The beach was fantastic. The water here is some of the best I've seen. Bahamas level or better. There are still some fish in the swimming area even though its netted off.
3. Expensive! This hotel was the most expensive of our entire Japan trip and probably the worst. Not only was the stay expensive but everything you wanted to do there cost extra and there was a huge mark up on drinks. I got used to paying under 500 yen for a beer in the mainland but here it was 1000 for one beer. Even 990 for a cola! I got used to Japan prices for the previous 10 days and then got sticker shock when I had to pay America type prices.
I would not stay here again. Would just pay to use beach"
"Beautiful resort and very peaceful atmosphere. Staff is top tier and the food was delicious. Amazing views, sunsets and amenities. Can’t wait to try one of their other properties!"
"Absolutely stunning property. This was an oasis in Okinawa. From the moment you arrived, Halekulani delivered. Impeccable service, welcome drink, top notch food, nightly turn down service, room amenities, and items in the room you can use during the trip and keep (flip flops, beach bag). The bed is so comfortable and we had fantastic sleep. The shower head was rain style and had great pressure. The rooms had incredible sound proofing and beautiful views from the balconies. The pools were peaceful and the staff was very helpful in securing chairs for you. The swim up pool bar had fantastic drinks and the staff were super friendly. Really beautiful view everywhere around the resort. We hope we can return!"
"Check in service was outstanding. They also arranged transportation to and from the airport for us based on the room we booked, which was a beautiful corner suite facing the ocean. Really enjoyed the view. Kids loved snorkeling and the water sports."
"What a lovely place to stay. Beautiful view of the ocean and easy access to it. Love the hotel pajamas. They are so comfortable. We rented a car and had a wonderful time exploring nearby areas and driving north. Also, we could go at our own pace and not worry about getting to the tours on time and feeling rushed through our experiences. We would love to stay here again if we return to Onna City. Very clean, great customer service, great amenities, spacious accommodations."
"Everything was great about this hotel except for the parking tower. I would just say to prepare to wait to drop off you car and get your car when you park in the hotel parking tower"
"This place was amazing, particularly with two children under 12. The water slides were a MASSIVE hit. They had never been on a water slide before and went down them about 50 times!! The pools are fantastic, a really nice selection of different sizes, depths and activities. The breakfast each morning was phenomenal! Staff were so friendly, always helpful. Rooms were not huge, but definitely satisfactory and clean. One issue we did have was the incredibly limited ability to hang up wet items, like towels and bathers, to dry. They either need a lot more hooks in the bathroom, a pull out line from the wall in the bathroom, or a portable line you can sit out on the balcony. Nearby burger joint was great for lunches, dinner, or great coffee and cold drinks. Oh, and one thing that truly shocked us (being Aussies) but was really amazing, is the social time down in the lobby from 3-6pm then 9-11pm. Basically an open bar, help yourself, spirits, beer, soft drinks, and little bar snacks of lollies, crackers, nuts and chocolate. Kids and adults alike. Definitely a place we would be happy to come back to again. Just one caution, get the shuttle bus or airport limoscene bus, if coming from Naha. Don’t get a taxi. Ask me how I know!"
