Henza Luxury Vacations

Excellent place , good location

Had an amazing stay at this place. We hired a car, so everything was in close proximity when driving, beach, snorkeling, supermarket.

My family of 7 had an excellent stay at the Pools Villas on Yagaji Island in Okinawa. Automated check-in was simple, as was checkout. The private pool was clean and the highlight of the trip for my younger kids. Sleeping in the tatami room on futons was a good experience for my older kids. The air conditioning worked well and kept us comfortable in the humid heat. Bathrooms were large and luxurious and the washer/dryer worked well. It was clean and well kept. But be aware this is a tropical place, so there are large spiders and lizards etc. My children enjoyed having a couple of house geckos in the unit to keep them company. And in the pool deck area, I was a bit surprised by what I thought was a very large spider walking around in the evening, but on closer inspection it was just a local Okinawan coconut/hermit crab that had made its home in the yard beside the pool. It's all part of the local experience! If you want to watch your streaming services from home, better to bring your laptop and connect with HDMI to the TV or streaming stick. That's how we watched the FIFA World Cup games. Internet is OK but sometimes slow. We patronized the two restaurants around the corner for breakfast and dinner on a few occasions. Great beaches are nearby - Kouri island is close by. We enjoyed the quietness of Yagaji island. For the first time in my life I could actually see the milky way stretching above in the sky. There is little light pollution so enjoy the stargazing.

The buffet for breakfast and lunch was amazing. The view fro

Of all the resorts I’ve stayed in, this is by far the worst. While it is pretty, shiny and new, that is the extent of its benefits. It is overrun by rules and children (5 and below). The spa does not have a sauna, separate pool or showers and offers very limited services. The pools are open during business hours, so don’t think you’re on vacation/holiday here! Wrap up outside activities BEFORE sunset. There is no room service and there is no food available past 8:30pm (2030) without a reservation. I think they call fries food and that is a joke. The beach: this is what you pay for when you want beach-access resort, right? Wrong, there are hours of when it’s open (again, business hours) and they give you the smallest “swimming area”, smaller than their pools. And of course, it is overrun by children. Don’t think you will come here and enjoy the ocean and swim laps, not happening. The food I was able to get was lackluster and not worth the plate it was served on. But I will say, everyone is very sweet when they’re telling you, “no” “sorry, no” “you can’t” “we don’t have”. They’re very sweet to basically be useless and inadequate.

So accommodating! Truly felt pampered throughout our stay.
