Hotels near Okinawa Peace Park

"This resort is isolated, so I would recommend purchasing their breakfast package if you like to eat early. I regret not getting an international license and renting a car, however it does have a bus limousine to/from the airport, but it only runs until the afternoon. A public bus also stops at this resort. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was low season (mid March), the pools were open but the outdoor ones were cold (didn't stop us from swimming!). The staff are so welcoming, friendly and helpful: from the moment we arrived (porters, reception), during our stay (pool & ground staff, restaurant staff, housekeeping, market staff) and our departure (concierge, porters). They all made our vacation delightful and very pleasant! Their breakfast buffet is spectacular! Western and Asian offerings, so something for everyone. The dishes themselves don't rotate, but with the variety, it was easy to eat something "new" everyday. Beach is very well kept. Towel service near each pool. Lifeguards on duty at the pools and beach. They provide many amenities in your room: pajamas, flip flops, beach bag (which we used for laundry), bathroom toiletries, small fridge, bottled water. Washer/dryers are available in each wing but take coins only. Change machine in laundry room, very convenient. We would definitely stay here again. The Ryukyu Hotel and Resort, Nashiro Beach exceeded our expectations!"

"The staff and room were very nice. However, the location is not great, apart from a nice little beach, there's not much to see in the immediate vicinity. Also the services the hotel offers are quite expensive. BBQ for 4000 yen and electric bike i think was about 2000 a day., "

"This place was pretty good! It's a bit tired looking, a little run down here and there, but overall was very satisfactory. The indoor pool was very warm, which was nice. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, so much to choose from and really good food. I appreciated that it was included in our stay! The outdoor pool had just opened for the season when we arrived so it was too cold for us, but it looked good. I'll be honest when I say the photos don't totally match reality, it's not quite as stunning as it looks, and yes, you do have to go through an industrial area to get there, but for the three nights we stayed, we had fun. I recommend having a car if you can, it's an hour walk to the aquarium, partly along the beach and then through more industrial area, you need to cab or bus to town, but the bus isn't super frequent and it's very slow. Several stops. Not what we were used to coming from the efficiency of mainland Japan, so we ended up spending around 30-80 (CAD) a day on taxis to get anywhere in the surrounding area. To get to Shuri Castle you can actually cab to the Akamine stop for around 2000 Yen, then take the train the rest of the way. Saves you a bit of money and time. Limo bus is also slow. But it was only about 18 minutes to the airport by taxi, which is convenient. Beware the harbor view room, it is technically a harbor, but it's all shipping containers and freighters and what looks like a factory? If you're not in your room much, it's ok. "
