Villas in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan

The check in was very easy, as was finding the location along of the villa on the beach. The condo/villa is absolutely stunning with a view of the ocean that cannot be beat. We appreciated the gorgeous sunsets, the pool and soaking tub on the 2nd floor balcony, and the outstanding views of the beach and island (Yojima) in the distance. The beds were some of the most comfortable we slept in while in Japan. We deeply appreciated the amenities - breakfast and food delivery (sausages, veggies, fresh bread, eggs and drinks) upon arrival, and found the layout of the house was fantastic for our family of 5. With two sleeping areas downstairs (kids), and an upstairs master bedroom (parents), we had MORE than enough space. One thing we would have liked about the location description online is an understanding that there is VERY little near by in terms of restaurants, convenience stores, etc. Depending on the weather, not much is walkable within 15-20 minutes. We ate at the Taco Rice restaurant, and walked 30 minutes to a local supermarket, and we drove the other places we needed to go. Also, the general impression we got from the website was that you can access the beach directly from the villa - sort of a, ”walk out to the sand” idea. You cannot. There is a 6-foot wall that separates the bottom floor of the villa with the actual beach area (needed for water level rising during storms, we get that :))... but there is no way down without jumping, nor a path to the beach (from our #3/C Villa, at least). We ended up jumping down the retaining wall using their small gate, walking around to a local business area that had a clear path, and accessing the beach that way. This was fine, don't get me wrong. Also, while the view is spectacular (and it really is), there is a TON of rebar from a former construction project (unfinished, we asked around) that sticks up out of the ocean at low, or extremely low tide (both of which we experienced while visiting - the extremely low tide happens each new/full moon, we were told). When this occurs, the beach stretches for 550 yards. We were able to ”walk and explore” (careful of course of the coral!), but for 1.5 days, we had a view of tons and tons of rebar sticking straight out of the sand, that stretched for 100s of yards in each direction. Again, this did not ruin anything, but it would be nice to know when booking a pricey room. I think the views are outstanding, given the timing you take the photo :) Overall, we would likely not stay again for the price, but it was a relaxing and splurge-y way to get that Okinawa sunset in at the end of long trip (5 weeks) in Japan. We are grateful for this adventure and my shared experience in this review is simply to help families understand more about the property. We traveled in mid-July. Thank you!

The hotel is located on Kouri Island, with a very nice view of Kouri Bridge. The room is large and equipped with cooking utensils. It can accommodate many people. The cleaning time was very random and did not follow the schedule, and the hotel staff came into the room to clean without prior notice. I was a bit dissatisfied. Since I had notified the hotel through Trip.com before departure that I would arrive very late, but when I arrived, I found that the front desk was closed, and there was no prior notice from Trip.com or the hotel about the key collection arrangements, which made my group very panic. Fortunately, I found Trip.com customer service to find the password. Thank you to the customer service and compensation for helping me handle it that day.

Traveling as a group of four, the room felt incredibly spacious and offered a fantastic open view. Overall, it was a very satisfying experience. The only minor point was that both check-in and check-out were completely self-service, but thankfully we managed to get everything done successfully.

Once you've checked in, everything goes smoothly without having to deal with any staff. There's a washing machine and dryer, so even if you're staying for three nights, you only need to bring two clothes! It's also nice that you can leave your used towels and trash at the entrance in the morning! I enjoyed going to the beach every day.

Despite the remote location in a far corner of Kouri Island, this Villa is quite easily accessible, within walking distance to the landmark attraction Heart Rock on the Island. The openness of the Villa is unique, which may not be liked by those who require security and privacy. A dip in the jacuzzi on the terrace during the day is a highlight of our stay. We particularly enjoyed having all curtains opened so we could submerge ourselves in nature and looked at the vast blue sky of Okinawa in the sunny afternoon we luckily had during our stay in mid April.

［ Coral Island ］ Although the location is far from the center of the city, the location is convenient and easy to find by the main road, and there are parking spaces. Each set of independent hotels has different indoor intervals, which is very practical. This time I chose the interval of 2 double beds. The indoor space is very comfortable. The whole house is naturally lit. Every corner can also see the outdoor environment. From the simple stone succulent garden at the main entrance, the fruit trees indoors and outdoors, and even the bathroom bathtub, it is a patio for leaf-watching plants. The gardens are carefully arranged. The interior of the whole house is designed in soft white and gray, as large as the decoration of the kitchen and toilet in the living room bedroom, and as small as the subtle links of the tableware and bath towels are also the same color system, it can be seen that they are all made with sincerity. The kitchen stove is complete and clean (there are even red wine glasses); the washing machine dryer is silent, I have to say that the induction faucet and the bathroom shower water system are all extra surprises. Each hotel's independent small garden has large safflowers and honeycombs separated to ensure that the private space is also equipped with a security system. You can see the garden full of butterflies dancing early, and the night sky Galaxy River at night. Plus the outdoor jacuzzi ⋯⋯ has improved the overall level of accommodation. I have to say it was a very comfortable stay. On the other hand, Online Check in is simple, and it also prepares nearby sightseeing brochures, and there are convenience stores and mangrove trails nearby; At the end of the journey, I also met a friendly and courteous waiter. She also prepared a pack of cookies of different tastes for us to say goodbye. I deeply felt the local culture and this extraordinary homestay courtesy! Definitely worth recommending and giving 10 stars praise! !

Located on Iliangbu Island near the ferry port! Also very close to the airport, a good choice when catching a plane! The surrounding natural environment is more primitive than Miyako Island! It is a hotel near the sea! Self-driving passengers are very suitable, because the car can be parked directly at the door of their room, and there are fewer restaurants nearby that need to drive, but the blue turtle restaurant can be reached on foot. There are many small secret places around you can walk directly to the beach, and there are also very special limestone terrain sea views! Although there is a kitchen for simple cooking, supermarkets and convenience stores are far away, but it is really quiet and completely away from the hustle and bustle of the city!

The apartment is beautiful. However the checkout time is too early at 10:00 am compared to other hotels in Japan in general. The utensils are sufficient for cooking. One thing that’s most unsatisfying is there’s a lot of cockroaches and mosquitos during the night. Even there’s a net and it cannot prevent some of them coming in, some can even fly! Horrible. The price is too high for this standard to be honest.

The hotel is in a good location to explore several regions of the island. Coffee is great and the breakfast options were worth it. The room is spacious and very quiet. The team was friendly and did everything they could to make us feel comfortable. The car we rented broke and they even helped us get the car working again. Thank you so much for your hospitality, we will be back! ありがとうございます :)

The interior and exterior of the hostel are pleasant and pretty. The interior is spacious. Although it's not bad to live, the location is very large among the rural folk houses, so the taxi driver can't find it when he first came, so he wandered for more than 30 minutes. I called the Adan resort, but there was no accurate guidance. I asked the nearby residents and finally arrived. Because there is no front desk, it is a system that you can just enter. I stayed for 2 nights and there was no housekeeping service like a normal accommodation. It's a completely rural neighborhood, so there aren't many street lights, so if you want to go out in dark, you have to turn on your cell phone lights. And because it's a country house, there are a lot of bugs. There are a lot of bugs on the ceiling that are constantly singing legs. If you are afraid of or dislike bugs, it seems that it is difficult to stay here. Fortunately, the bedroom side blocked the ceiling once, so there were no bugs... ^^; In addition, if you walk a little, there is Emerald Beach and Visefuku Road, so it's good to take a walk, and you can walk about 20 minutes to the Churaumi Aquarium. It was nice to have a quiet rest.
