Okuma Private Beach & Resort

The nice variety of accommodation is on one side of the road, while the pools and beach are on the other side - but there are very few travellers so no worries about traffic. The food is very delicious with many local offerings. There are 3 different restaurants and we tried them all. Unfortunately there was a lot of rain, so we were unable to do many of the water-sports. But we found enough to do around the resort. All the staff were very kind and helpful.

I'll never forget this place and my personnal experience within it : the exotism and the quietness of the area, almost heavenly, the attention and the formality of the staff and the consideration and the generosity of the manager (I think). I didn't know what to expect : it ended up being like a second birthplace to me. I was moved by the unexpected gestures towards myself and I simply regret I couldn't have stayed longer, for a first time at least.

The resort is located in a remote area and is not easy to reach by public transport. You have to walk about 900 meters from the bus stop. You have to take two buses from the airport in Naha. However, the place is worth the effort. Beautiful beach with lots of umbrellas, very nicely landscaped surroundings, tasty and varied food. There are several restaurants to choose from on site. We stayed in a palm cottage: it was comfortable, cozy, clean and we slept well. We were also close to everything. The service was very helpful and friendly: they helped book transport, a table in a restaurant, changed money for small change needed in laundry machines, etc. A big advantage was also the free bus, which can take you to most attractions. In my country, they say about such a place that "the only thing missing is bird's milk", which means that it was great and you can only point out minor shortcomings.

The rooms were very comfy however there was a foul smell coming out from the side of the tub. The breakfast was amazing! The resort provides a ride from the room to wherever one has to go in a golf cart so that was very helpful do to it rained during our whole stay here. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Everything was arranged and taken care of. We got umbrellas because it was raining. The bath house was suuuuuperb! The staff took such good care of us. We would be at the beach and they would come to us to make sure everything is okay. Really kind people :) The breakfast also consisted of local food from Okinawa, so it was really nice to eat. There was so much, that it was difficult to try everything.
