Halekulani Okinawa

wonderful experience

Nice resort type hotel

Staff very welcoming and amazing service, and lovely property. Rooms closer to main road than expected - can hear the motor bikes roaming the couple of nights we stayed there. Wonderful breakfast - a la carte a bit lacking. Really enjoyed dinner at Shiroux with various courses well explained in English. Would definitely stay again.

The Halekulani Okinawa is unmatched in service by anyone. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. The staff is welcoming, kind, attentive and respectful. We had every need met as soon as we asked. In room dining in our suite was like a restaurant meal, perfect service. Our only disappointment was that the pools were not heated for winter use.

Amazing

Beautiful view, helpful and friendly staff, room was nice, and kids love the buffet.

Service was perfect and always welcoming , especially Riko! Room was Devine and lots of lovely extras. The best on Okinawa

A nice time at the Halekulani Okinawa. Spacious sunset suite room with view. Tasty breakfast buffet. Excellent spa and massage. Relaxing pool and paths around the colorful grounds. Dropped off the 3-yro at the Kids Club and she had a great time with Candy and Tink. Our kayak trip was rainy and they offered us a makeup for free. Recommend a rental car to explore the north and south of OKI. Save up for the tasty AOMI dinner and the Kingdom steak.

Before we arrived I had contacted the hotel concierge to arrange transport to & from the hotel and a few restaurant bookings. The staff could not of been more helpful in arranging this and a small surprise for my husband on our honeymoon. We were picked up by the hotel and the driver was polite and courteous. When we arrived at the hotel we were greeted so warmily be multiple staff, our bags were whisked away, we were given a welcome drink whilst we waited in the comfortable lobby to check in. The hotel is beautiful, it exceeded all our expectations and the restaurants are fantastic (we highly recommend Shiroux). The biggest asset of this hotel is it's staff. Everyone we met was pleasant, chatty and could not do enough to assist you. The hotel left a lovely gift for us to celebrate our honeymoon and the staff always congratulated us and made a special effort at dinner. Even just going for a stroll, the staff would say hello and have a conversation. We throughly enjoyed our time at this hotel and would recommend it to everyone, especially the snorkelling. We will definitely be back for our anniversary in a few years!

良い記念日の思い出となりました。

Truly wonderful service. It was our honeymoon and they made the whole trip feel very special. The food was excellent and everything was very clean and comfortable.

Nice property , leading hotel of the world but they have three major problems: 1. Terrible breakfast dining allocation where you can book into a queue for breakfast and be told that your breakfast slot is in 70minutes. No body needs to plan their day or wake up time on holiday based on the breakfast allocation slot. 2. Over crowding: the whole dining areas and pool area felt overcrowded, more so when it rained. 3. Staff not wanting to open umbrellas when it was slightly windy. We found this incredulous when there were no winds but based on predicted weather forecast! This meant lying on subbed sun the heat! Located about an hour from Naha airport by car via the toll Highway. Two Major wings: sunset and beach. Total of 360 rooms and villas. On arrival, one has to drive up to the sunset wing.Valet parking- took too long when we had to pick up the car, at time we waited over 10minutes! Check in was ok- sat at the foyer with beautiful sea views but the whole process took too Long and should be more efficient. We were shown our room by concierge personal - room 751. Nice size room with a compartment for a walk In closet and good size shower with views to the balcony from the bath tube. Parking was free as per the booking or otherwise 2000yen per day. Turn down service - ice bucket and pj’s are out and about gift which was a nice touch but not useful- we left them all behind. Balconies are to close together especially 751 and 750 and 752.

The property and staff were absolutely amazing!!! Easily this is the best property I have ever stayed at and the customer service is the beat I've ever experienced. My children loved the property and our room. We stayed in the Coral Suite Twin room which was massive. It came with Japanese pajamas, and keepsake flip flops and tote bag. This hotel was truly something special.

Amazing hotel, great service. And the food was delicious.

This is honestly one of my favorite hotels ever- the resort is a nice size- not too big or small. The pools are relaxing and the rooms are beautiful and luxurious. The service is great, and I had a really restorative time here, even though I came during rainy season. Huge thumbs up!

Beautiful resort but like most it’s very far from other walkable dining and shopping. Would have really enjoyed this property if it wasn’t raining the days we were there. There not much to do if you can’t be outdoors, pool, beach, etc. there is an indoor pool which was nice but really we wanted to be outdoors. Drive to and from main areas outside of resort are about $80 each way.

部屋が広く快適でした。サービスも他の沖縄のホテルに比べると格段に良かったと思います。ディナーも美味しかったです。

Absolutely perfect.

Great stay. No hitch from check-in to check-out.

I have previously experienced phenomenal service in Japan, but was slightly underwhelmed by the inconsistency of service during this stay from such a high rated property. We found some of the hotel/spa staff that were very polite and accommodating, while others (like pool staff) were inflexible and slightly curt in their approach. The hotel itself is very clean and well maintained, but the rigid hotel policies, lack of available dinner options, and over abundance of staff directing your every move made the experience less relaxing. Some examples include: no drink requests off-menu were allowed, QR “virtual wait in line” required for breakfast, several restaurants unavailable without reservation days in advance, slow/unprofessional waiter service in the steakhouse restaurant, kids not allowed in certain restaurants after 8pm, kids under 16 now allowed in 2 of the nicer pool areas (no opportunity to use hot tub), strict pool attire required, and many beach areas are off-limits. On the brighter side, the ocean activities were great- our guide Dan-san was very kind to our kids, and made our trip quite fun and memorable. The shareable/free beach toys were a nice touch. The spa is very clean and nice. Overall a good stay, but not the 5-Star experience you might be expecting. Next time will try the Ritz-Carlton next door, after renovations are finished.
