Okinawa Kariyushi Beach Resort Ocean Spa

The cleanliness and everything were pleasant.

Nothing

Very nice room with good floor space. We had two individual beds but were able to push them together to make one big bed. The outdoor pool was nice to use, and a great spot to watch the sunset. The WIFI was extremely fast & reliable compared to other hotels. The included breakfast vouchers were nice, we didn’t need to think about what to have or where to go.

The listing on Booking.com said the property had parking, didn’t realise till we arrived it was a paid extra (¥1500). The buffet dinners are convenient, but for ¥5000 each, I’d expect better than cold eggs and sausages. There was a lot more on offer, but it was all just out and sitting at room temp. The laundry room was decent, however the dryers were more like humidifiers, so we ended up leaving put clothes spread out over the room to dry over a day. I also take issue with their private beach. It was advertised to us when we checked in and there are signs for a free shuttle to get you to and from, but we didn’t see any mention about all the facilities on the beach requiring additional payments. Seems like a blatant cash grab to ask ¥3500 for a couple of chairs and an umbrella on your private beach when we’ve already spent so much for the accomodation itself. We ended up walking back to the pool where those same chairs and umbrellas were free to use. Even the vending machines were expensive. Could walk down the road to Lawsons/7-11 and grab a bottle of water for half the price.

The place is ok for the price. There's shuttle bus to the beach. There's a shop onsite.

The pool wasn't deep at all. The breakfast and lunch buffet was cold. Don't know why the lids are not used to keep it warm. At the beach it wasn't possible to go into deep water. Deepest was to my knees and a lot of rocks.

The amenities were many-there were 2 outdoor pools and lots of food options.

The rooms were outdated, smelly and the bathroom was very small. There were a lot of families, so if you have kids this was probably a great place to stay. Otherwise, the value wasn't there for us as a couple.
