We loved our time at Hoshinoya Okinawa and can’t wait to come back! We booked our stay ourselves, but the resort went above and beyond by treating our family to unforgettable complimentary meals and experiences. We enjoyed daily in-room breakfast with an amazing view of the ocean and got to experience multiple delicious meals at the various restaurants on the property. The kids had so much fun at the Ryukyu papier-mâché workshop, riding horses on the beach and swimming at the pool. This resort is perfect for families and we highly recommend staying here if you ever visit Okinawa!

Stay tuned for our adventures in Italy!!
