Often praised

  • A breakfast buffet that covers the main Okinawan dishes
  • Spacious, clean rooms where shoes are not allowed
  • Two hours of free bicycle rental, a welcome drink, and an island liquor tasting set

Points raised

  • For a towel exchange, you bring the towels yourself
  • The front desk is staffed by one person and can get crowded
  • “This is a nice hotel with large rooms, especially by Japanese standards. It's not fancy, but it has well-thought out amenities that travelers need (like drying lockers for scuba and snorkel gear, and free beach towel rental). The staff are also very friendly and helpful. We rented a car on-island and had no trouble finding free parking in the hotel lot. They also offer a buffet…”

  • “This was my first hotel of my trip and I had an incredible time there. The staff are very friendly, the rooms are spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Also, the breakfast they have is one of the best breakfasts I had in a hotel during my stay in Okinawa. I recommend you have it if you stay at this hotel, you won’t regret it. The hotel is close to the ferry station on foot…”
