Hoshino Resorts Risonare Kohamajima

The property feels a bit dated in places, but the Room was very clean and comfortable, and it was easy to use. Having a separate bedroom was a big plus—we didn’t have to sit in complete darkness after our child fell asleep (lol). The daybed was also perfect as a play space.They had great kids’ amenities: toys, a step stool, and pajamas that fit our 100 cm son perfectly. Everything was adorable. The rental aloha shirt was cute too—we loved seeing him in it!The beach is a bit far, but the Shuttle Service by cart made it feel convenient. The pool also had life jackets available from small sizes. The sea at the beach wasn’t very clear, so it felt more for viewing than swimming.The only downside was dining. For both breakfast and dinner, the only options were the buffet or takeout from it. To eat outside the resort, you need to Reserve an izakaya (with Shuttle Service), so if you join activities it can be hard to manage your schedule—this might be challenging with small children.There’s a café for light meals during the day, but I wish they offered takeout from there at night as well, or even simple Room service—it would have been really helpful.Overall, it was a very family-friendly stay and we were extremely satisfied. Next time we’ll make our Reservation earlier and aim for a Room with a private pool!

I visited once before and this time I brought my elderly parents. It turned out to be a very satisfying stay. You can fully enjoy the charm of Okinawa's remote islands with the sea, pool, and various activities. The staff are all highly professional, kind, and attentive. I can confidently recommend this place as a safe and enjoyable destination. On a minor note, I noticed a few things: "small insects like ants in the room," "the restaurant menu remains the same despite being a place for multiple night stays," and "the website for reservations and meal bookings is not user-friendly." Even with these points, it is still a highly satisfying stay. If you don't mind the journey involving a plane, bus, and ferry, I highly recommend visiting at least once.
