We would give the Halekulani Okinawa 6 stars if we could! Everything about our stay was a dream. The room is the most fantastic room we have every stayed in: spacious, spotless, incredible view, sexy, well designed, great amenities. The breakfast in the morning is an incredible way to start the day: buffet had a ton of options. The various pools were great to explore different vibes, moving from the beach to the sunset view pool at the end of the day was a great strategy. It is walkable to dinner options off premises which was a nice bonus. Turn down service every night left us a little gift and fresh pajamas. It was true bliss from start to finish.
