Ada Garden Hotel Okinawa

I had such a wonderful stay. The building is beautiful, designed in Vietnamese-style. Everyone was so friendly and attentive. I felt welcome. The remote location was refreshing after a long bike ride up the coast and around the cape, and I was able to store my bicycle inside. The traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner were truly remarkable. And the chef was able to accommodate my vegan diet. I was impressed with the presentation as much as the flavor. Just be sure to place your request the day before, because each meal is made to order. You can choose your dining time during check-in. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a small balcony and a lived-in, rustic charm that I loved. Notable details include: ornate wooden doors and accents, as well as wooden floors. There are vending machines stocked with beer, tea, snacks, and cup noodles. The laundry machines are free of charge. It was a terrific getaway and a much-needed chance to rest and recover. I highly recommend it!

Considering it's the only option in miles you'd expect it to take advantage of that but it was great. The receptionist was very nice and well exceeded my expectations by taking a few of us out a night to see a Okinawa rail. Full laundry facilities and a whole row of vending machines if you get desperate to eat something. The hotel has lots of solid wood fittings and feels like something from the peak real estate Showa-era - very rare anywhere else in Japan and was a pleasure to stay in. It is definitely showing it's age but I would 100% come back.

Location is really nice. The hotel is situated in the middle of the national park, BUT: it is right in front of the road. At first, this made us completely disappointed, cause the pictures suggested it was in the middle of nowhere. But the road was barely used at night, making the place quiet enough. When I say quiet, I am referring to the sounds of civillization, because birds cry 24/7 as others mentioned in their reviews. Rooms (and we stayed in the most simple twin room) are quite nice with wooden floors and kind of antique'ish furniture. Note that the beds are not too long, probably about 185-190cm, which may be a problem for the taller visitors. Staff was helpful and guided us to the place with the local birds at dawn, lending a flashlight.

I chose this place for its remote location in the Yambaru Forest. It was also so close to the Yanbaru Kuina center. The dinner and breakfast were exceptional. I was even able to leave the doors open (they had screens) and could hear gentle forest noises all night. It was a great stay. And I was surprised by the pet teacup pig. He was my favorite! Very polite staff that were helpful.

Hotel was excellent. Lovely staff, large room, comfy bed. Location was perfect for exploring the Yanbaru area. Nice area with forest and wildlife (on our 6am walks we saw a Kuina just across the road and lots of newts). Free washing machines, detergent and dryers were extremely handy. Food was really delicious, highly recommended pre booking meals. We are pescetarian and they obligingly accommodated us with a vegetable and tofu hotpot. Our (very fussy) children loved the hamburger meal. Breakfast was a Japanese set and we found it generous in quantity.
