Okuma Private Beach & Resort is really a special place. It is located very near or within (hard to tell) Yanburu National Park, a World Heritage Site. All lodgings are across the road from the beach, pool, beach club and spa. My room was spacious and comfortable enough, but basic (think diving lodge-ish) in need of an update/facelift. It didn’t bother me because I wasn’t really in the room except to change and sleep. My included breakfast buffet was very satisfying and included many local dishes and fresh fruit. Both the dinner buffet and the Japanese restaurant were good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. If you don’t speak Japanese you may have to rely on your translate app. at times. The property and all of its offerings are vast and varied and should satisfy any reasonable guest. Watersport opportunities abound. I enjoyed the sunset catamaran. The morning snorkel provided great a snorkeling experience with lots of sea life. There are free daily bicycles available for one 2 hour borrow per person. It is great, to go cycling in the local neighborhoods. A free tourist bus stops in front of the hotel and brings you throughout Yanburu National Park with options to get off and get back on one of the next buses at many different stops. I think the bus makes 4 trips a day. With notice, the hotel will bring you to the public bus stop. It is about 1/2 mile from the hotel (or you can walk in the sidewalk). It is very easy to get to Ogimi Village in a few min or Nago on a longer ride by local bus. The hotel has a free shuttle with reservations only from Naha that operates one time a day to and from Naha for arrival and departure of guests. It is 2+ hour trip one way. It is very efficient to use this service. I only used it to get to the resort: pick up was at 13:15 at a local Naha hotel near the bus station. I am glad I chose this hotel and would use it again if I find myself in Northern Okinawa main island.

“Beautiful beach, breakfast service not so good”

We initially planned to stay here in 2020, trip was cancelled because of the pandemic. Stayed here first week August, and the rates are very high. For the price, am expecting some more.

We initially planned to stay here in 2020, trip was cancelled because of the pandemic. Stayed here first week August, and the rates are very high. For the price, am expecting some more. Was disappointed during breakfast -- we had to queue and wait, although if you look inside, there are several tables that are unused but also not cleared. Seems there's lack of staff. Also there were tables outside which could have been assigned to the guests if they are ok. The beach is beautiful, but a bit disappointed, the beach water was not what I expected, it's a bit murky.. Seems very different from the pictures and videos I saw at Youtube :( Overall in Okinawa, the beach is not so clear really, you can only find clear water at the outlying islands, we went to Zamami and the beach was super clear.
