Ikei Island, Uruma hotel rooms at the Independent

"This stay was one of the best I’ve ever experienced. From the very moment we arrived until we left. I only wish the area was a bit more developed."

"Me and my family really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were friendly, the room and hotel were clean. The food at thr breakfast buffet was delicious. 10 out of 10 experience we will go back again. "

"Great stay, amazing beach, staff great. Only thing would be just update the rooms a bit, but overall clean and that not bad."

"This was one of the best stay for our family! We really enjoyed! Thanks 👍😊"

"We had an incredible stay at Busena Terrace and would certainly come stay again and recommend to anyone. We are a family of 4 with two teenagers so we booked two sea view rooms. The rooms had amazing views and a small terrace. Large size rooms with a generous size bathroom. Nice sprawling facilities with two great outdoor pools and an indoor pool as well as a beach area with beach nets to keep out jellyfish. Location of the property was great for island exploring which allowed us to get to the Aquarium and to several important historical and military sites as well as Naha. Also, the hotel had good food options on site (on the pricier side) and had good food options nearby with a 5-10 minute cab ride or 25 minute walk away (with easy/safe sidewalks). The highlight was a super helpful staff with special mention to Ohashi. The staff went out of their way to make sure we had a really pleasant stay; this included finding and helping us make reservations for dinner each night as well as arranging a driver one day to see a bunch of sites, as well as booking two different snorkeling tours (one to Minna island and one closer to the hotel). We and the kids loved the Minna island trip so much that we immediately booked a skin diving trip for our second to last day! While the staff had limited understanding of English, we made good use of translation devices to communicate and they were more than patient and accommodating! Highly recommend!"

"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."

"Early June stay. Pros: Large rooms, nice bidet toilets with separated bath/shower room. Friendly staff. Slides and lazy river great for families. Huge parking lot. Able to eat off site purchased food in lobby with tables. Free drink bars at certain times with delicious drinks. Cons: Pool closes quite early. Hotel shops very overpriced for basic things like sandals. Need a car to get around to food and convenience stores. "
