Nikko, Central Okinawa hotels

"They have a great water park for kids and adults. There are 3 slides (one with a 2-person tube and 2 for single riders), a lazy river, and 2 nice pools at the resort. There is also a beach area where they have an inflatable water obstacle course plus beach stuff to rent. The buffet breakfast was great. I highly recommend this place for any travelers or locals looking for a stay-cation."

"We stayed at the Hoshinoya Okinawa for five days and had a lovely time. For a Westerner, interesting to stay in a Japanese hotel catering to Japanese tastes and needs. Food was a bit complex at this hotel because reserving in advance was always required, but it wasn't difficult to do. The modern design of the place was really lovely, the Ulo Grill had excellent food and the Lounge/shop had beautifully curated things to buy from Okinawa at very reasonable prices. We really enjoyed staying and would recommend. "

"From the moment we were dropped off to the seamless check-in and the staff personally walking us to our room, we were blown away. The hospitality, friendliness, and attentiveness were truly exceptional. We absolutely loved this hotel. The food was amazing; though a few more options on the menu would make it even better. Ooohh and the spa was absolutely amazing. We all got massages today’s in a row…Yamada was my masseuse and she was beyond excellent!"

"Great place. Pay everyday to use the pool is the only setback. "

"Beautiful grounds, amazing service, lots to do. Perfect location.. everyone was very nice and the food was amazing! "

"I’m impressed with the facility given the price point i got. The included meals were nice, and the staff incredibly friendly. There were certainly some updates that could be made, but it was a great value and location, and I would definitely consider staying again if I were to return to Okinawa."

"The staff were fantastic and the beach was beautiful. I read comments about the beach being shallow due to low tide in the afternoon, but my husband and I were at the beach all day (from open to close) and we enjoyed swimming all day long."

"Absolutely incredible stay from start to finish, we wish we booked for longer!"

"It needs a little renovation but everything was neat."
