Ikei Island Romantic Vacations

Super nice condo with beautiful views. Amazing bathroom and outdoor jacuzzi.

I absolutely LOVED this pool villa. It was the perfect size and layout. The heated pool (heated to perfect comfortable 82*F) and the hot tub were a nice touch. I am looking for my next visit. Lots of things to do nearby- aquarium, beach, Starbucks, ice cream, grocery. Some suggestions for upgrades and to be comparable to other villas in the area would be to provide a grill, pool towels, floats and pool loungers (to fit in the pool tanning ledge). 😍

Nice hotel in a good location

We stayed at Ryukyu Hotel & Resort Nashiro Beach for three nights and found it to be a great option for families, especially those with young children. The pools and beach were the highlights of our stay. However, do note that the afternoon tide can significantly lower the water level, making swimming less enjoyable during those hours. We visited during a very hot and rainy period, which limited some activities. Breakfast and lunch at the hotel were excellent, with a good variety and quality. That said, if you don’t have a rental car, transportation becomes a challenge,taxis are necessary to reach nearby cities or attractions. A key tip: renting a car in Okinawa requires an International Driver's Permit (IDP), which you must obtain in advance (e.g., from AAA in the U.S.). We were surprised by this requirement and unable to rent a car, which limited our ability to explore the island fully. Additionally, any tours or island visits often need to be booked well in advance, so plan ahead. The hotel caters mostly to families with children. While it’s a very nice property, adults traveling without children may find the atmosphere less relaxing.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this exceptional 5-star resort in Nago, Japan, and without a doubt, it was one of the finest hospitality experiences we've ever had. From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us with a level of warmth and professionalism that immediately made us feel at home. Every detail was handled with care—from the seamless check-in to the personalized service throughout our stay. The room was absolutely stunning: spacious, immaculate, and elegantly designed with modern comforts and traditional Japanese touches. Our suite offered breathtaking ocean views, a serene private balcony, and thoughtful amenities that exceeded expectations, including plush bedding, luxury bath products, and state-of-the-art technology. What truly set this resort apart was the service. Every team member we encountered was genuinely kind, attentive, and proactive. Whether it was arranging transportation (including a shuttle from Naha), our dining, taxis, or simply greeting us each time we saw them, the hospitality was unmatched. The amenities were equally impressive. The resort boasts a serene infinity pool overlooking the coast, a world-class spa with traditional Japanese treatments, and several outstanding restaurants featuring locally sourced ingredients and impeccable presentation. Every meal was a culinary highlight. I would highly recommend this resort and can't wait to go back to Okinawa so we can stay here again.
