GGuest UserReview of Onna Resort, Okinawa
About me:
I’m a frequent flyer to Japan and a long-time fan of staying at villas and resorts across the country. I enjoy discovering different accommodations across Japan. This time, I chose Onna Resort for a relaxing group trip.
⸻
👍 What I liked:
• Spacious resort– Very roomy and comfortable, easily fits 7–8 people. Perfect for families or groups of friends.
• Clean and well-maintained – The entire resort was spotless and felt well cared for.
• View exactly as shown in photos – Stunning ocean view that matches the listing. Great for enjoying sunrise and sunset.
• Beach nearby – A beach is within walking distance. While it may not be the best in Okinawa, it’s still nice for a stroll or quick swim.
• Washer and dryer setup – Includes both a washer-dryer combo and a separate dryer, which is especially handy for drying towels and clothes after swimming.
• Well-equipped kitchen – Good selection of cookware and appliances for preparing meals.
• Private and quiet surroundings – Peaceful setting with no disturbance from other guests.
⸻
👎 What could be improved:
• Inconsistent check-in information – The email offered early check-in, and a staff member via video call said I could check in at 2pm. But when I arrived, another staff said it was 3pm. This communication gap should be addressed.
• Missing basic items – No cups or glasses were provided, obviously an oversight by the cleaning staff.
• Limited towel supply – Towels are provided strictly based on headcount. Given the proximity to the beach, it would be more convenient to offer a few extra towels without needing to ask.
• Limited Coffee Supply - The resort provides coffee bags based on headcount as well, which was insufficient for guests who consume two or three cups daily. A more generous and considerate coffee supply would enhance the experience.
• Insufficient tableware – Only two large plates were provided. It would be more practical to include additional small dishes, rice bowls, and condiment plates (e.g. for soy sauce or wasabi), especially for guests who plan to cook.
• Lack of basic cooking ingredients – It would be helpful if staple items like cooking oil, salt, and pepper were provided to make meal preparation more convenient.
• No power outlets near beds – Most sockets were located low on the wall and away from sleeping areas, making it inconvenient to charge phones or devices overnight.
• Weak Wi-Fi signal in places – Internet connection was spotty in some areas of the villa, although it offers several wifi spots within the resort, but still weak
GGuest UserThe overall environment is decent; it's a quiet resort hotel.
The hotel is a bit old, but well-maintained. The condition of the public areas and rooms is acceptable.
Essentially a golf resort hotel, the overall atmosphere and guest demographics revolve around golf. If you're interested in golf, you can come and play a round.
Most meals are served within the hotel. There are almost no shops nearby, so it's not suitable for itineraries involving frequent outings or shopping.
The overall pace is slow and somewhat secluded, making it more suitable for a quiet vacation or playing golf.
GGuest UserThe location of our guesthouse was incredibly convenient, situated on a side street of Nago's main street. It offered excellent amenities, with supermarkets nearby for daily necessities and the popular Donmu Ramen – a must-try! Furthermore, the guesthouse was close to nearby attractions, such as the Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island, all within a 30-minute drive, a huge plus for planning our itinerary.
Our room type was very comfortable. The first floor had three bedrooms and a separate bathroom/toilet; the second floor featured a living room, an open kitchen, and a family room, also with a separate bathroom/toilet. The guesthouse provided a washing machine and dryer, which was incredibly convenient for us as we needed to do laundry during our trip.
We cooked our own breakfast and dinner in the kitchen, using groceries to prepare simple late-night snacks and breakfasts. We chatted and laughed together, creating a very warm and cozy atmosphere. In the mornings, we could also go for a run along the nearby coastline, breathing in the fresh air and relaxing both body and mind.
We stayed for two nights, and this guesthouse made our entire trip even more enjoyable. I highly recommend it!
GGuest UserThis hotel has a lot of character. You get around the property in golf carts, which is a nice touch. The golf course being right on-site is very convenient, and it's a great spot for families with kids.
The only downside is its remote location. It's quite a long way from the airport, and there aren't many shops nearby, so you definitely need a car if you want to buy anything.
不不靈The parking lot is very large and convenient, and the location in Nago is also very good, but the surrounding roads are dark, so it is more suitable for more than two people to stay. The combination lock on the hotel door is broken and has not been repaired, which may reduce security concerns. The weather is quite humid, so a dehumidifier is provided to remove the musty smell in the room. If you like to buy supermarket food and cook it yourself, and want to save money with a small kitchen, this is a good choice. The price is good.
AAnonymous UserThe hotel's location is fantastic, right by the sea, making water activities super convenient. The keyless entry with a password lock is a great convenience. There's a Lawson convenience store right next door, and a bus stop directly across the street for easy access to the airport and attractions.
EEunice TsaiThe hotel has its own parking lot, which costs $500 per night. The front desk and elevator are a bit small, but the room itself is quite spacious and very nice. Being on a high floor with a sea view, waking up in the morning was absolutely stunning. I even saw a rainbow! 🌈
GGuest UserAt night, I drove to the headquarters for one night. I chose it because I could check in before 12 o'clock. There is a parking lot for 700yen one night next to it. Hotel facilities are not new, the floor aisle has a smell, but the room and toilet are not. The room type is large, the water is hot enough, the air-conditioning is strong, the bed is big but soft.
黑黑化肥會揮發Almost self-catering accommodation. There's a large cemetery next door; I didn't pay attention to the comments when booking. The room was fully equipped, including a gas stove and frying pan.
There was a washing machine in the room; closing the partition door reduced the noise considerably. There was a coin-operated 100 yen dryer downstairs. There was also a clothesline on the balcony.
I was satisfied with the facilities, but dissatisfied because:
1. The air conditioning automatically turned off between 3:30 AM and 4:30 AM for two consecutive nights. Even when it turned on, it would only run briefly before stopping. 😠
2. The TV automatically turned on at 6:30 AM for two consecutive nights.
I don't speak Japanese; could you please check if the previous guest set the automatic on/off function with the remote?
GGuest UserI would say it's quite an old hotel but rooms were big. We had a corner room with it's own kitchenette, a sofa area with tv and 2 single beds.
We initially wanted to combine the bed as we have a toddler with us but it wasn't a viable option as the bed frames were built attached to the wall. Room is rather dirty even though we requested for room cleaning, I could feel the floor abit dusty and sticky. The bathroom curtains were also cold and had mould at the bottom (the part that's most often in touch with water).
