Okinawa beach

#thingstodo The room was fantastic and the staff was unbelievably friendly! Our room had a beautiful view of the ocean, as do most others. The food was good, albeit a bit over priced, but the restaurant waitstaff definitely made the experience enjoyable. There is a convenience store on the premises, which is great for snacks, beer, and sunscreen. My main complaint is around the handling of activities and the beaches. For example, we brought our own snorkels to use at the beach. However, when we tried to go into the water, we were told we needed a life vest. We head up to the pool counter and they want to charge ¥1000+ for life vests just to use our own snorkel gear. Quite annoying since we are both experienced swimmers and just wanted to poke around for a bit. Overall, the hotel was very nice.
