Udonosu Beach

This is a one-of-a-kind property with villa-style apartments and a near-private infinity pool space with stunning views of the rocky islands and sea. Just based on this, we must recommend it. If you're willing to drive out to the somewhat remote Kouri Island, this place has plenty of guest parking--relying on other transportation will not be practical here. Get food from supermarkets in the neighbouring town of Nakijin. The pools aren't really heated for immediate relaxation, but there's a private hot tub on the patio. That said, it does have some issues. Kouri Island is VERY rural and tropical bugs are everywhere outside; that's just nature. Some of them will get into the room and some check-in bug hunting is normal. They even supply a vacuum cleaner for this. What could be better, however, is the condition of the units. Ours had various maintenance issues: multiple peeling wall areas, a slanted desk that didn't look safe to use, a missing closet door, a damaged toilet/bidet controller, and a persistent ant problem likely caused by prior guests + meh floor cleanliness + big floor-to-wall gaps. The mobile web portal didn't seem to have an area to report these problems and the lobby is totally computerised and thus unstaffed. Overall still a great and unique experience in Okinawa--just be prepared to put in some work to really be able to enjoy it, and try to stay several nights to make that work worthwhile. And be meticulous with bagging your food waste!

Overall, spacious and good acoomodation to stay with a large family. However, there were way too many bugs, cockroaches and geckos inside and outside of the property… The hotel basically said it is inevitable due to the climate condition of the island. For me, bugs were tie breaker so I probably won’t stay here again 😂
