Okuma Private Beach & Resort

From the moment we arrived at the Hotel, every staff member’s service was outstanding. While there is some age-related wear, it truly is a wonderful Resort Hotel. The beach is also very spacious. We heard that there are only a few Rooms with an ocean view, so we debated between a villa and the Grand Cottage. We chose the Grand Cottage, and you arranged an excellent Room for us—through the trees we could see both the sunset and the sea, and we are truly grateful! The Room and veranda deck were large, and the bath area and plumbing fixtures felt luxurious, which really lifted our spirits. Everywhere on the vast grounds, the lawns and flowers were beautifully maintained. Since the weather was great, we often chose to walk instead of taking a cart as we headed to restaurants, the beach, and the large public bath. Because my husband and I have different food preferences, we really appreciated having a breakfast buffet. Also, since sunset time overlapped with dinner time, we alternated between days with a dinner-included Plan and days without it. Even my husband—who usually doesn’t like buffets—seemed to find many favorites; he enjoyed his meal at ease, and we were also able to fully enjoy IKYU’s Diamond benefits in a relaxed way. At both the beach and Hotel pool, towels, life jackets, and parasols were all provided free of charge. When I started snorkeling without wearing a life jacket even once by mistake, a lifeguard immediately brought one over for me—I was impressed by how carefully they watched over guests (and felt sorry for causing trouble). Besides the beach area pool(s), there was also a deeper pool for adults where we could have fun as well. We declined housekeeping during our Multiple Night Stay and received vouchers in return, which we used effectively at the shop. Thank you very much for your kindness from our email exchanges at Reservation through our stay—we truly appreciate being able to spend such a wonderful time here. As suggestions: it would be nice to have two chairs on the balcony as well as hangers suitable for swimwear.

Unfortunately, due to the weather, we couldn’t see the blue sky or the starry sky we had been looking forward to, but we were able to spend a relaxing time in a wonderful space. All of the staff were kind, and their warm smiles made us smile as well. We chose a Plan with dinner included: on the first day we enjoyed Ryukyu cuisine, and on the second day we had the buffet. The Ryukyu meal was a “Ryukyu Gozen,” beautifully presented and enjoyable with its variety of flavors. The buffet offered an impressive selection, and everything was so delicious that we ended up eating too much. We would definitely like to visit again.
