Onna Hotels with Bars

We had a wonderful stay at PGM! The staff were incredibly nice, professional, and always eager to help. While the breakfast buffet didn't have a massive selection, every single dish was beautifully prepared, high quality, and absolutely yummy. The entire environment is so relaxing, making it the perfect getaway. We also loved both the indoor and outdoor pools—they are clean, modern, very comfortable, and paired with excellent facilities. Highly recommended!

I come to Okinawa almost every winter for vacation and have stayed at many ocean-view hotels here. Halekulani Okinawa stands out for both its significant strengths and weaknesses. **Pros:** (1) As a newly built hotel, the facilities are much newer than other hotels. The rooms even have smart tablets to conveniently book restaurants and check out various amenities. (2) Although the restaurant prices are noticeably higher than other hotels, the quality of both the buffet and à la carte restaurants, and even room service, is excellent and worth the price. (3) The service is very good. If you're taking public transportation when checking out, they'll even provide a car to take you to the station. (4) If you skip breakfast, you can change it to lunch, which is convenient for those who like to sleep in. **Cons:** This seems to be a common issue with Western hotel brands. Halekulani Okinawa, along with two other Hilton hotels here, shares the following problems. I believe this might stem from differences in Western brands' operational philosophies. However, for a hotel like Halekulani, which costs more than double other ocean-view hotels, these shortcomings are quite unacceptable. (1) The hotel lacks a well-stocked convenience store and souvenir shop. Other Japanese-owned ocean-view resort hotels usually have one or two such stores with a wide variety of items. Here, there's only one shop selling some Halekulani branded merchandise and a very limited selection of ”eco-friendly, natural” snacks, with hardly any beverages. If you want something to eat, you have to walk a few hundred meters outside the hotel to a chain convenience store. (2) The mini-bar drinks in the room are chargeable, and the prices are 4-5 times higher than at outside convenience stores. Considering this hotel is 2-3 times more expensive than others, and many other hotels often offer free mini-bars, this difference is quite significant. The main issue is the lack of an internal convenience store, forcing guests to frequently go out to a convenience store a few hundred meters away for a wider selection of drinks and snacks. Not to mention, it's truly unpleasant to go out when it's rainy or windy. For someone like me who enjoys staying at a comfortable and convenient hotel for several days or even a week, it's hard to stay long if a resort can't meet all my needs in one place. (3) The price for the self-service laundry and dryer (700/800 JPY) is also about three times higher than at other local ocean-view hotels (200/300 JPY). While the hotel's price is more than double that of others, the convenience and comfort aren't significantly higher (aside from newer facilities). Coupled with a mini-bar and self-service laundry that are several times more expensive, and the need to go outside to buy necessities due to the lack of an on-site convenience store, it feels like they're trying too hard to squeeze every penny. It's more suitable for a short, 'check-the-box' experience rather than a prolonged, relaxing stay. The quality of the seawater is also just average compared to hotels in Onna Village and Cape Zanpa.

 Advantages: The kitchen has sufficient kitchen utensils, we buy meat in the supermarket and cook it. There is also a large screen to cast screens to watch. The room is large and the sanitary environment is clean. Disadvantages: There is no convenience store chain within walking distance. Large supermarkets also have to drive about 15 minutes. Check out at 10 am. 

This is a pet-friendly B&B. The owner is very cheerful and friendly, and there are cute and spoiled cats to greet you. There are many dining options nearby, which is more friendly for people who drive because the location is relatively quiet. It takes a short walk to the main street. The daily breakfast is simple and delicious, with some changes every day. It is not bad. Recommend

On his birthday, I used it last year and this year. The view, rooms, staff and service were all very good. For lunch, I had a light lunch with the hotel's private beer and spent a relaxing time. I was happy to have red wine at cocktail time this year. The dinner was also great. The attentiveness of the staff is very good. I want to go again next year.

今回で2度目の宿泊になります。 前回とても素晴らしい滞在だったため、またオリエンタルヒルズさんを選びました。今回も本当に素敵な時間を過ごすことができ、特にスタッフの皆さまのホスピタリティは相変わらず素晴らしかったです。パートナーもとても喜んでおり、心からリラックスできる幸せな時間となりました。 一点だけ気になったのは、バスルームでシャワーを使用した際、壁の四隅から黒いカビのようなものが床に流れてきたことです。沖縄の高温多湿な環境ではカビ対策が難しいことは理解しておりますが、せっかくの素敵なホテルですので、この点が改善されるとより快適に過ごせるのではないかと思いました。 総合的には今回も大満足の滞在でした。またぜひ宿泊させていただきたいと思います。素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

The service was excellent, and the hotel environment was fantastic! The breakfast and dinner were standard buffet style, with above-average quality. However, the staff at the small shops might need more training, as they were unhelpful and seemed clueless, which is not the standard of service expected from a top-tier hotel.

The best hotel. The staff were always smiling and very kind and I was able to spend my time with peace of mind. The room is clean, spacious and comfortable. The bath and toilet were separate and I was able to spend a pleasant time. It was a pity that the hot water supply in the bath did not work and the hot water could not be stored, but it was possible to store it from the shower, and the children were able to take a bath comfortably. I was happy that the shower head was miraculous. The BBQ on the roof was delicious and fun. On the day of early check-out, I was very grateful for the breakfast being prepared so that I could take out.
