静かでゆったり
Reviewed By toparis2014庭にプールがある部屋とない部屋があり、ない部屋に泊まりました。 2階建で、1階が寝室、2階がリビング、キッチン、浴室など。 浴室から真っ青な海が見えます。 目の前の海は真夏なのに泳いでいる人はいませんでした。ビーチが砂浜というより石とか貝殻で素足だとちょっと痛い。 サンダル履いて水浴びしましたが誰もいないしきれいだし、気持ちよかったです。

TOP!!!
Reviewed By bratosiewiczThis is a fairly small place and so much undervauled and underadvertised. A true little boutique hotel, every detail, food, everything is perfectly executed and made to measure. This is as close to perfection as you can get for this price. Absolutely perfect for a couple getaway. Loved the stuff, the owner and the whole vibe. Definitely recommend!

More a B&B than a Resort
Reviewed By Abe LThe word 'Resort' in the name is not accurate at all. Other resorts I've seen at Okinawa are hotels with their own beach and multiple restaurants. This is a privately run bed and breakfast (5 or 6 rooms total) located in a REMOTE part of Okinawa. If you really like nature & need a place with a warm shower in the middle of nowhere, will be renting a car or enjoy biking up hills, then this place may be for you. You will be driving 20 minutes for a supermarket or a restaurant that will serve you dinner past sunset. Not only is this place is Cash Only, but so is everything else within 30 minutes. Bring cash! Only Family Mart & Japan Post Office have ATMs that take International cards. ATMs are not 24 hours and the closest ones are 15-20 minutes away by car. There is a patio on the roof with lounge chairs for a nice view of the sky (night) / water (day) accessible by an outdoor staircase next to the entrance. Reserved at booking dot website. As with many places in Japan, room charge is based on the number of occupants. Paid roughly US$250/night for a family of four and I felt that was expensive for a night of using beds at someone's large beach house. Management was friendly and polite. There was a kitchen, but we didn't stay to have meals.

What a view!
Reviewed By Caius_Iulius_CaesarWe drove from Naha airport to Iyashi no Resort without taking the Expressway and it took around two hours, two hours and a half. With the navigation system we could find the resort relatively easily. Apparently, it is very difficult to get there without a car. Nakajin is an excellent basis to explore northern Okinawa. To the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium it is a15-minute drive, to the starting point of the hike to the Hiji falls it is a one-hour drive. Supermarkets are a few minutes away by car. The Japanese room was big and quiet; it was equipped with a small kitchen and was very comfortable. A wifi connection is available. Our highlight was having our own breakfast in the garden outside our room: what a gorgeous view! The lady who checked us in (the owner, I think) was very kind and friendly. She spoke very little English but with her English and our basic Japanese we could understand each other well. She also has a booklet with all information in Japanese and in English. We could only pay cash. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

Nice place for good weather
Reviewed By The_Protagonistit is a quiet place, "at the end of the world"; one that You think of while seeking for escape from daily routine. The place is well equipped, the host is nice and helpful; the breakfasts are FANTASTIC - never see something like this before, period (and I've been to many different places). The only - potential - issue is: if the weather gets poor, You're stuck in a middle of nowhere.

Friendly owner and lovely place to relax
Reviewed By NightlingVisited: June 2011 This review may be slightly dated, but I would still like to share my experience at Hibis Resort. Hibis Resort is off the road and you will need navigate a dirt path up to Hibis Resort. Mr Ken-ich YAZAWA is the owner of Hibis Resort, he welcomed our group warmly when we reached Hibis Resort. We were led to our rooms and briefed on the amenities of the resort. The rooms on the second storey are pretty spacious and have 2 levels; first level is the living room and second level is the bedroom. A table and 2 chairs are positioned at the balcony where you can enjoy the hillside scenery while having afternoon tea. The toilet and bathroom are separated and basin is standalone in the living room area. The western breakfast is prepared by Mr Ken-ich and his wife. While chatting during breakfast, Mr Ken-ich told us that he is a retiree and has set up a homestay in Okinawa to be closer to the nature and away from the hustle of city life. The lounge area is retro-styled and emits a 60s feel. Hibis Resort is suitable for city dwellers who wish to enjoy the nature and get away from busy city life for a while. Note: As Hibis Resort is very close to the nature, you may be able to see insects at the balcony. Bring along insect repellent if you are a mosquito magnet.

Magachabaru Okinawa
Not worth it!
Reviewed By p911turboSo, it was our first time going to Okinawa, Japan and we were so excited about it. After a long distance flight, we got our rental car at the airport, drove about 2 hours to get to Magachabaru (because of traffic, language barrier, speed limits, power of the car, unresponsive GPS, etc.). The drive was not easy but we still very much looked forward to the hotel stay. The hotel is in the North, in a middle of forest, and very far away from the Main Island. And if you check the room rate, it is by no means cheap. We paid over US$600 plus tax a night - a little more than what we usually spend at Ritz, MO, and FS of which we are lifetime members. We spent 3 nights there. It is the secludedness that drew us there. Its privacy and peace reminded us of our home and we needed them to ease our nostalgia. We had been traveling Asia since the end of May. When we got there, we were sweaty, exhausted, and hungry, and most importantly, we were hoping to be received with a warm welcome and maybe a tad of kindness. After we got off the car at about 1830, we were then led to the check in area. The silence during the short walk was awkward and unusual. We sat down and then the male manager Miyaki-san tendered some unknown fruit drinks to us. I thought that he would be so proud and eager to introduce us to their highly prized local tropical fruits. Instead, he stared at the booking print out left on the table and my child of elementary school age. That was the moment that started to get us nervous and uneasy. He then finally opened his mouth and said in a long face that our Expedia reservation indicated that we would be bringing along an infant - the third guest who would be staying with us in the room of over 1400 sqf. We were scratching our heads as we had no intentions to cheat as what implied in his statement, tone, facial expression and body language. We told him that we were not too sure about what he meant and happened. We explained to him that we entered the right age of our child into the Expedia system. We told him that we didn’t even know that there was a problem as we were not reached out prior to the stay for any clarifications (interestingly, they left a child robe and a pair of slippers good for an elementary school child in the room, definitely not for an infant). Then, instead of asking us for the passports, he had my love one complete the forms for him. Before taking us to the room, he told us (my child was tired and hungry) that there would be NO dinner for us (it was about 1849 when the check in process was over) that night because we failed to make any advanced reservations. Also, he said that there would be NO breakfast for us too the next morning because we just missed the daily breakfast reservation cut-off time (before 1800 everyday). We were beyond stunned and there were no words to describe how bad the treatments were. He told my love one that they sent over an email about the hotel earlier. My love one told him that he didn’t receive anything electronically from the hotel. We were again bewildered because we thought that the hotel should try to reach out to the guests (there are only 11 villas in the premise) again if they didn’t hear anything (the ball is on your side, we already paid). After we settled in our room and got connected to the provided portable wi-fi (it didn’t work well at all), we checked and found that the email was in the spam folder. However, he snubbed us anyway by printing a copy for us. Later on that day, he got back to us saying that we were allowed to have breakfast at 0900 even though we did not inform them in time (well, we didn’t go sightseeing after we landed, we drove directly to the hotel and it took time). At one point during the check in process, he asked strangely as to how we were able to find the premise. We were confused again as to how and why such a question should have come up in that context. Later on, we found out during the breakfast that we were the ONLY non-Japanese family there. The breakfast costs US$30 each and requires a daily reservation before 1800. We called for a buggy before 0900 the next morning to take us to the breakfast place. The restaurant was boring and there was no menu on the table. We sat down and they gave us food. They assumed that since we were non-Japanese and therefore we should have continental breakfast. My child paid the same amount of money and had the same uninteresting meal. There were no morning greetings, refills of water or juice (not fresh pressed), or checking on us. The breakfast was mediocre. We decided not to eat there the next day not because of its high price but rather, we found the lack of substance and service intolerable. We were on vacation and it was supposed to be fun and we were beyond ready to splurge. As we observed, we were the only family who was served continental breakfast (even my child was able to point it out). Other Japanese visitors got to enjoy Japanese food which we had no problem with at all. The room was fine. They strangely pushed 2 queen-sized beds together without asking. The beds and pillows were not comfortable. They were so soft and gave no support. In terms of size, it reminded us of those Asian resort villas - spacious and full of bugs (they didn’t have the repellents ready in the room). Portable lights should have been provided near the pool (just like FS) for guests who want to take a swim at night. The water pressure was good and AC systems were strong. TV channels were limited and all in Japanese. Other staff members were fine - they did what they were supposed to be. We thought that it is totally fine if they have no intention to serve non-Japanese visitors. And yet, they are listed in all major travel sites - easy to find and reserve as long as you do not mind the pricey side of it. The stay was a memorable one but in a negative way. They didn’t understand or refuse to provide hospitality to non-Japanese guests. They assumed that non-Japanese were not able to understand and therefore respect their cultures. Showing kindness should be universal and across all cultures. It is a shame that you fail to represent your group. There was no thoughtfulness shown at all during our stay. We left the premise after 3 nights with questions and disagreements. Our vacation began after switching to Ritz.

Gross
Reviewed By JAJahanThe whole place was filthy and nothing like the photos. Very disappointed as I was looking forward to staying here. Bathroom was filthy. There were cockroaches in the room. Disgusting really. Only stay here if you're looking for a nice ocean view and are happy to "slum it". Checked out after 1 day and staff didn't even ask of everything was okay.

Great place to stay in Nakijin!
Reviewed By Tal Ostayed at Hibiscus in April 2019. we took the traditional Okinawan room, which has tatami mattress and designed in a japanese vintage style. room was amazing and spacious, with view to the garden. the guest house itself was very clean and nice. big common kitchen, shared toilet and bathroom that were always super clean. location is great, basically walking distance to some beautiful beaches and Nakijin castle. next to the guest house there is an izakaya so you dont need to walk far when you are back from a day at the beach. the owners, Orie and Ryo, are SUPER nice and friendly, really helped us with all of our questions, and went out of their way to make sure we are getting around. Ryo also does sap (kind of a surfboard..) lessons. highly recommended experience, especially with the beautiful beaches of Nakijin, recommended!

Hospitable staffs
Reviewed By chienwinston這裡是一個安靜休息的好地方， 僅管方位有點距離。 但經過在這休息一晚後， 我都恢復了體力。 飯店有提供溫泉跟不錯的居酒屋或餐廳， 我個人覺得不錯。 員工也很熱情， 附近2 KM 內有便利商店可以買些東西！ The location is little far but it is a good place to refresh yourself. I like staying there because it is quiet and the hot spring and restaurant reach my taste. Having one night stay there, my fatigue was gone. By the way, the breakfast is good.
