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 super for exploring wildlife in the Yambaru National Park, and Okinawa Rails are literally wandering just aside the hotel! In the nighttime you can hear all three different species of owls calling nearby, and Okinawa Woodpeckers are also not hard to spot. Highly recommended for birders who will like to have a slow pace birdwatching vacation in search of the endemic wildlife’s of Okinawa. Equipments in the room are a bit old but is surely comfortable. Having a pet pig Haru in the hotel is surprisingly adorable. Beside that the closet convenient store being within a 30 minutes drive, there are actually quite a few local small supermarkets nearby within 10 minutes drive. Just check their openly times, which are mostly at daytime. Will recommend travelers to try out this local stores and give support to the local community. But most important of all, it was not that an inconvenient place as I originally expected.

Very curteous hotel personnel, clean and lovely room that is for sure a bid older, but with a lot of charme. The hotel has a very special location, away from most other facilities, making it a great place to spot stars at night. eBike rental was possible, though no western style eBikes - more basic ones. It is highly recommended to travel to this hotel by car, to make the most out of this great but remote location. Very nice beaches and river hike in bike distance.

It's an old style hotel located close to the Yanbaru national park in leafy surrounds, a secluded atmosphere, far from the maddening crowds. The nearest scenic attraction is Cape Hedo the most northerly point of the island. Staff were good, the rooms were okay, but no room service, labeled bins are outside in the corridors for you to dispose of any rubbish, dinners had to be preordered, one choice, breakfast Japanese style only was tasty. There are vending machines on the ground floor where the laundry is situated which has beer, and non alcoholic drinks as well as a variety of chips, biscuits etc.
