Staying at Grand Mercure Okinawa Cape Zanpa Resort was such a treat.

It’s just a short 20-minute drive from the Blue Cave, making it super easy to fit that magical snorkel adventure into your trip (see our other 'Blue Cave' pin on how to book).

Plus, the resort is perfectly placed if you want to take day trips to nearby islands, think Miyako, Ishigaki, and the Keramas all within easy reach.

An all-inclusive resort, it has a traditional Japanese bath house where you can unwind after a day of exploring, four pools, including three fun waterslides and a chilled-out drift pool.

If you’re after a mix of comfort, convenience, and a little bit of adventure, this place hits the spot.
