Minna Island Mountain Vacations and Getaways

The resort was great. The only big negative was the resort wasn't exactly easy to get to unless you take a taxi or drive. Nearby there isn't really much food places available; especially ones that are open later. There is a shuttle service to some major shopping places in front of the hotel but the frequency is very low, around an hour apart.

Clean spacious updated rooms. Large warm pool with plenty of seats. Buffet was good, but may need a reservation because it can get busy. Up a hill from the monorail but otherwise a convenient location.

Gorgeous hotel but we arrived a little early and they said the room was not available which we know was a lie because half of the rooms were not occupied the entire island felt abandoned. There was nothing to do nearby.

My family of 7 had an excellent stay at the Pools Villas on Yagaji Island in Okinawa. Automated check-in was simple, as was checkout. The private pool was clean and the highlight of the trip for my younger kids. Sleeping in the tatami room on futons was a good experience for my older kids. The air conditioning worked well and kept us comfortable in the humid heat. Bathrooms were large and luxurious and the washer/dryer worked well. It was clean and well kept. But be aware this is a tropical place, so there are large spiders and lizards etc. My children enjoyed having a couple of house geckos in the unit to keep them company. And in the pool deck area, I was a bit surprised by what I thought was a very large spider walking around in the evening, but on closer inspection it was just a local Okinawan coconut/hermit crab that had made its home in the yard beside the pool. It's all part of the local experience! If you want to watch your streaming services from home, better to bring your laptop and connect with HDMI to the TV or streaming stick. That's how we watched the FIFA World Cup games. Internet is OK but sometimes slow. We patronized the two restaurants around the corner for breakfast and dinner on a few occasions. Great beaches are nearby - Kouri island is close by. We enjoyed the quietness of Yagaji island. For the first time in my life I could actually see the milky way stretching above in the sky. There is little light pollution so enjoy the stargazing.

Was great!

Lovely hotel.. good food, beautiful big room, nice pool, views and spa. Loved the afternoon tea and happy hour. Only feedback would be the gym is too small and dated and felt like a bit of an afterthought. Also, the bedroom could have done with an iron or steamer. Regarding the shuttle bus.. manage expectations as it doesn’t run too often and is subject to availability. However, would definitely recommend this hotel for a very relaxing and peaceful break.

Truly a beautiful property with the kindest and most attentive staff. Couldn’t recommend more highly
