Okuma Private Beach & Resort

I. Pros: 1. Among Okinawa's resorts, this is one of the larger hotels in the heart of the beach. 2. The young staff are generally service-minded. 3. The rooms are spacious; opening date determines the hotel's size; if you're booking this hotel, be prepared for a certain degree of aging. 4. There's a bathing area on the beach, so you can shower immediately after playing in the water. II. Cons: 1. The elderly bellhop had a rude attitude and no basic sense of service. His Showa-era sense of national superiority and inherent discrimination against Japanese people were clearly evident. He had a stern face the entire shuttle bus ride, and even when we arrived at our room, he sat down and gestured twice. I directly wrote to him using a translation app: "If you don't want to work, please go home and retire. I see you're old, so I'll move myself. It's not my duty, it's your job. Don't you know how to speak honorifics? You're uneducated." 2. The room change was inefficient due to the loud noise from the air conditioner unit, and it took nearly two hours. Ultimately, due to the full occupancy, we were forced to accept a lower-class room. The price difference was nearly 1,000 RMB per night. By the time of check-out, the hotel hadn't provided any explanation or apology. Based on these two points, I can only give it the lowest possible rating. 3. If you're not driving and plan to stay in northern Taiwan for 2-3 nights, I don't recommend it due to the lengthy transportation. Okinawa's resorts still offer a sense of the "overly" organized Japanese style. For example, the pools often close early, around 5-6 PM. If you prefer to relax on the island, Southeast Asia offers more relaxing options.

The resort breakfast is amazing. They have all the traditional Okinawan food. They also have a free sauna that is open late at night, which is also the best.
