Lovely hotel, nice big room with good view and facilities. Most amazing selection of foods at breakfast. We chose the 'english/european' breakfast rather than the japanese one and were amazied at the variety of dishes on offer. Good salad bar and excellent selection of savoury and sweet breads and pastries. Will definately stay next time we are in Okinawa.

“Good stay”

Nice two night visit for work. Located next to the convention center. Rooms are large with a view of the China sea. The outdoor pool was being redone and was closed. Very good breakfast in the morning. Overall a very good stay

“Convention Center Neighborhood”

This hotel has an excellent location if you have some activities in nearby Okinawa Convention Center. Otherwise it is a goodk quality hotel with large rooms, good food and very hospitable staff. It features also a nice bar on the top floor.

The room was very big and spacious and had fab views of the sea. However while some of the furnishings seemed new (headboard of the beds for instance) others in the room were not so. In particular the bathroom was disappointing: the bath was a western style bath with shower curtain and there were specks of mould in the grouting of the tiles/bath and the shower curtain rail was rusty. Surprising, and not acceptable, for an expensive, luxury hotel. Beds/pillows were ok if a bit hard. Staff were all very friendly - English levels were low but they spoke enough for non-Japanese speakers to get by, and they were all very willing to help. On Sunday our room was not serviced until 6.00pm and the lady was in there when we got back in the evening so we had to head off and come back again later - this was slightly surprising that the room was only being tidied so late in the day. Breakfast was good, we got there at 9 on Saturday and Sunday and there were no queues, but I could see a long list of people who had had to put their names down earlier, as some of the reviews suggest There is a Car hire booth (I think Nippon rent-a-car ) in the lobby, we had got a (Japanese speaking) to call ahead and reserve a car which worked well - the car was there for us to pick up. It looked like you could order one there as well though, if you decide to hire one spontaneously. The girl was very nice but no English, she did have a number she could call for a translator though which was helpful. Prices seemed comparable to those around the area. The car was clean and in good working order. The hotel is a good location to go driving off to other bits of the island, as you are outside the Naha traffic bubble. Facilities seem decent - we didn’t use the pools but others were and seemed to be having fun. I sat next to the outside pool for 20 mins (waiting for room service to finish!) and it was perfectly pleasant. Looks like they have an outdoor dinner bbq with live music by the pool, so might be worth checking out if that is your thing! 3 stars overall as it was a nice hotel but didn’t quite hit the luxury mark, which is what it was priced at, beachside of a few off touches like the bathroom.
