5-Star Hotels in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan

The location is decent, a bit far from Onna Village itself, which makes it much quieter. Walking around here feels like Chiang Mai many years ago – laid-back, with very few commercial establishments, and peaceful. There aren't many restaurants on the street right outside the hotel (the Okinawan restaurant directly opposite isn't good! Don't go there). Remember to make reservations in advance; we couldn't get into any place during dinner time and ended up eating at FamilyMart 🫠. As for the hotel, being by the sea, it's probably a bit humid. The hallway had a slight musty smell, and the common areas were just okay, not particularly refined for a Hilton-level establishment. The breakfast offered a decent plant-based local yogurt; everything else was pretty standard. The kids' play area closes quite early, at 8:30 PM. It's great for very young children, but for a 2-year-old, it closes too soon, as it was already shut by the time we finished dinner and came back. The beach has quite a lot of coarse sand and pebbles. It's advisable to wear beach shoes, otherwise, it can be a bit rough on the feet. However, the 'jellyfish' sea is still beautiful. Being able to see the stunning sunset from the room made it all worthwhile. There aren't many activities for kids under 3. The glass-bottom boat tour to see fish wasn't expensive, but honestly, we didn't see anything. For a 2-year-old, it was just a boat ride.

The entrance to the room was stunning, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The location was conveniently a ten-minute drive from the aquarium, with a shuttle service also available. Many nearby dining options were available, and the sea views were lovely. We chose not to have breakfast due to the price 3300 yen. Free parking was plentiful. However, we did find that the air conditioning could be improved, as a setting of 20 degrees was insufficiently cool. Additionally, the pool's operating hours (9 AM to 6 PM) seemed somewhat limited, and the gym could benefit from additional strength training equipment. However, I would definitely recommend staying here and would return.

We absolutely made the right choice with this beachfront hotel! The location is superb – we had direct ocean views from our room's balcony, and sleeping to the sound of the waves at night was simply wonderful. Our room was spotless and fully equipped with all necessary amenities, ensuring a very comfortable and convenient stay. With the beach right downstairs, we could simply change and walk straight out to enjoy it – no long commutes needed. The staff were also very friendly, making the overall experience incredibly relaxing. It's the perfect choice if you're looking for a relaxing stay without venturing off the island.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. We went with two kids and we all loved the spacious and cozy hotel room with a stunning view of the sea at the balcony. The food is great - we enjoyed Shabu shabu at our room as well as the breakfast buffet. Thank you to all staff and I’ll consider booking this hotel again next time to Okinawa.

The room was a decent size, clean, and tidy. The hotel's location is excellent; it's set back from the main Kokusai-dori street, ensuring a quiet stay, yet it's just a maximum 5-minute walk to Don Quijote. What really stood out was the staff at the hotel entrance. They always greeted us with warm smiles, and if we were waiting for a taxi, they'd proactively help us communicate with the driver. Oh, and the purple sweet potato dessert at the lobby cafe was delicious too!

The room was very spacious and comfortable, with excellent soundproofing. The staff were incredibly accommodating, striving to meet all reasonable requests. The hotel is beachfront, offering fantastic ocean views, and they also arrange paid snorkeling trips. My children absolutely loved it! There are small barbecue restaurants nearby, though reservations are required. The only minor downsides are its distance from convenience stores and from Naha itself; a taxi ride from Naha costs approximately 14,000 JPY.

ANA was an amazing hotel, and our stay in Okinawa was absolutely wonderful! The amenities were top-notch and so relaxing, making our trip even more enjoyable. The area was beautiful, and the views from our room were breathtaking.   A highlight was PST Pizza, which was delicious and conveniently located right by the beach. The breakfast was really good and worth it. We highly recommend staying here and can’t wait to visit again!

The only potential downside was that the bed felt a bit small. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the power outlets in Okinawa are the same as back home, so there was no need for a travel adapter. All the hotel staff spoke English, so communication was never an issue. Breakfast was also great. The location is superb, with the bus terminal directly downstairs, making it incredibly convenient to get anywhere. It's only five stops from the airport, and Kokusai Street (International Street) is also very close by. Overall, it's a fantastic place. My only minor complaint is that the price felt a bit high compared to what I'd expect to pay in my home country. You access the hotel from the second floor, with the check-in lobby located on the 14th floor. From there, you take an elevator down to your respective room floor. The second floor also connects directly to the monorail station. The Okinawa Library is just opposite the hotel. Having a 7-Eleven and Family Mart convenience store right downstairs was extremely convenient.

Hotel Collective was hands down the best hotel during our stay in Okinawa! From start to finish, everything about this property exceeded our expectations. The service attitude of the staff was truly outstanding. Every interaction was warm, professional, and attentive, making us feel genuinely welcome and cared for throughout our stay. The hotel’s commitment to hospitality really stood out. The rooms were super clean and spacious, offering a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. It’s rare to find such well-maintained and generously sized accommodations, especially in such a convenient location. Speaking of location, it was absolutely perfect for shopping, dining out, and sightseeing. Being right in the heart of Naha, we had easy access to Kokusai Street, local restaurants, and cultural landmarks. Everything we needed was just a short walk away. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Okinawa. Hotel Collective sets the bar high for comfort, service, and convenience!

Overall, the hotel is good. However, I think it would be wonderful if the hotel can make some improvement in several things. 1) We knew that the wifi wasn't free, so I prepared some moives for my child. However, I think the hotel disabled the usb function. And free wifi have to be a standard offer nowadays. 2) No one clean the sand at the bottom of the swimming pool, so the water quality isn't good. Luckily, my 3 years child didn't get sick. 3) I stayed in 3 hotels in my trip to Okinawa this time, all the other two hotels offered special Okinawa coffee drip coffee. However, this hotel only provided the normal coffee powder that you could see in economy hotel. 4) This is the only hotel that didn't provide us child toothbrush set. Anyway, the hotel location is fine, we found two supermarkets right after crossing the Sesoko bridge.
