Ryukyu Islands hotel rooms a the Independent

"Breakfast buffet is top notch; I really enjoy the excellent variety of food selections in a delightful ambience. And them modern amenities in the clean room suit all my expectations and are just perfect for my vacation stay."

"The spa was great and the location was perfect!"

"I love how the room has been thoughtfully planned out such that the space usage is maximized. Very spacious room & bathroom & even has a washer/dryer. Good parking at 1500yen a day & there’s a Donki downstairs. A bit far from the Kokusai-dori area though. "

"It was probably the best public bath (i.e. hot spring) I have experienced in any hotel, it was clean, with full amazing sea view. The breakfast was a bit expensive, but worth the price with the food quality and variety. Plenty of restaurants nearby, convenient store is just downstairs."

"Quite beautiful location on a great bay and beach, easy walk to snorkeling, outstanding food in the restaurants on site. Great shopping on site at the same cost as anywhere on the island. Zukeyama was a short 15 minute walk to the south of this resort which was an absolute delightful Japanese restaurant operated by husband and wife, best sashimi I’ve eaten in many years."

"So many shops in walking distance "

"This was our third stay at this lovely hotel. As always, it was great. The only problem was with the Expedia booking: although we paid for the included breakfast when we booked, the hotel staff said we had not. So we had to pay twice for breakfast. This is an Expedia problem (google "Expedia breakfast scam" and you'll see), not a Strata problem, so better not to select breakfast if you book through Expedia. Better yet, book directly through the hotel or a different booking agency. "

"Hotel was excellent, the service was excellent and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming. "

"Phenomenal stay. 5* and excellent hospitality. Do not hesitate to go to Okinawa, the people, the history, the food, cleanliness, it's unbelievable, we stayed a week and could have easily stayed another month. Thank you Halekulani!!"
