Okinawa Island, Okinawa Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"The hotel’s location and staff were excellent. The rooms were spacious, though slightly outdated. The pool was beautiful, and direct beach access was a major plus. On the downside, the restaurant had limited hours, and reservations couldn’t be made through a single site. Overall, for our family of five (ages 12 to 70), we truly enjoyed our stay. The location was fantastic—while you’ll need a car to get to the American Village, the trip is absolutely worth it."

"We had an unforgettable stay at Halekulani Okinawa. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with the warmest smiles and genuine kindness — they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Our room had a breathtaking ocean view that we enjoyed every morning and evening — it felt like a postcard come to life. The hotel’s facilities are outstanding: immaculate pools, beautiful landscaping, and an overall sense of calm and elegance. Traveling with a child can be tricky, but the team here made it effortless. They were attentive, accommodating, and always ready to help with a kind word or thoughtful gesture. We felt cared for in every interaction. In short, Halekulani Okinawa combines stunning views, exceptional service, and world-class facilities into a perfect family getaway. We left feeling relaxed, grateful, and already planning our return. Highly recommended for families seeking both luxury and heartfelt hospitality."

"Love this hotel and access to the beach. "

"The staff are very helpful and friendly, always give out helping hands and the best arrangement for us. The fireworks at garden pool was unforgettably pretty. The kids love the manza beach, the marine ocean park and all the marine activities. We can snorkel and discover a range of fish (even clownfish) "
