Hotels With Spa in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan

The service was absolutely amazing! Every staff member was incredibly enthusiastic and helpful, always ready to answer our questions and solve any issues we had. They were so warm and attentive! Plus, there was a lovely lady at the front desk who spoke Chinese, which made communication incredibly convenient. The Japanese-style breakfast was delicious! And the free all-day selection of various drinks and alcoholic beverages was a real lifesaver in the summer heat. The pool and hot springs were also fantastic, providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience for both kids and adults. Overall, it was a truly wonderful stay!

The hotel isn't far from the Blue Cave for snorkeling or AEON Mall Rycom, making it a great base if you're planning activities in central Okinawa. You can also stroll along Sunset Beach in American Village, and there are many unique shops in the area worth exploring at your leisure. The hotel itself is excellent; the rooms are quite spacious, and with a sofa bed for the kids, all three of us slept comfortably. The best surprise was having a washing machine, laundry detergent, and a balcony in the room – perfect for washing clothes and swimsuits right away. It would be even better if they could install a clothes drying rack on one corner of the balcony, haha. The front desk staff spoke excellent English, but their pace was really fast, which made it a bit hard for me to follow since my English isn't that strong.

Pros: We were upgraded to a family room, which was incredibly spacious and very comfortable. The small table on the tatami area was perfect for a relaxing drink. All the essential facilities were available. Apart from the bathroom feeling a bit dated, the hotel was generally good and quite clean. There's a direct bus service from the airport to the hotel; we took the Airport Bus OAS on this trip. The aquarium is relatively close. We couldn't find a taxi on the fireworks night and had to walk for 30 minutes, though it's typically just a 5-minute taxi ride. Breakfast was decent, but the selection wasn't extensive, so it might get repetitive if you're staying for many days. Cons: The pillows had a strange smell, and even after requesting several replacements, we encountered the same issue. Luckily, we had brought our own pillowcases. It seemed daily housekeeping wasn't provided by default. We returned to find our room hadn't been touched. Fortunately, we ran into a staff member and asked them to clear the trash and replenish our drinking water.

The location is decent, a bit far from Onna Village itself, which makes it much quieter. Walking around here feels like Chiang Mai many years ago – laid-back, with very few commercial establishments, and peaceful. There aren't many restaurants on the street right outside the hotel (the Okinawan restaurant directly opposite isn't good! Don't go there). Remember to make reservations in advance; we couldn't get into any place during dinner time and ended up eating at FamilyMart 🫠. As for the hotel, being by the sea, it's probably a bit humid. The hallway had a slight musty smell, and the common areas were just okay, not particularly refined for a Hilton-level establishment. The breakfast offered a decent plant-based local yogurt; everything else was pretty standard. The kids' play area closes quite early, at 8:30 PM. It's great for very young children, but for a 2-year-old, it closes too soon, as it was already shut by the time we finished dinner and came back. The beach has quite a lot of coarse sand and pebbles. It's advisable to wear beach shoes, otherwise, it can be a bit rough on the feet. However, the 'jellyfish' sea is still beautiful. Being able to see the stunning sunset from the room made it all worthwhile. There aren't many activities for kids under 3. The glass-bottom boat tour to see fish wasn't expensive, but honestly, we didn't see anything. For a 2-year-old, it was just a boat ride.

The hotel's location isn't great. Apart from a large supermarket nearby, there's nothing else around, and it's also quite a distance from Kokusai Dori. The room itself was just okay. Housekeeping only came every two days, and they didn't even replace bath towels or provide bottled water. The front desk staff were unhelpful, and the check-in process was incredibly slow. When I called them, they couldn't understand English, so I had to go downstairs and use a translation app on my phone to communicate.

The breakfast and dinner options were honestly fantastic. There were plenty of options that ranged from Italian to traditional Japanese. I really enjoyed the night we grilled at our table.

The entrance to the room was stunning, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The location was conveniently a ten-minute drive from the aquarium, with a shuttle service also available. Many nearby dining options were available, and the sea views were lovely. We chose not to have breakfast due to the price 3300 yen. Free parking was plentiful. However, we did find that the air conditioning could be improved, as a setting of 20 degrees was insufficiently cool. Additionally, the pool's operating hours (9 AM to 6 PM) seemed somewhat limited, and the gym could benefit from additional strength training equipment. However, I would definitely recommend staying here and would return.

A major highlight of the hotel is its airport shuttle service. The minibus operates precisely on schedule. However, on my return trip after check-out, I just missed the bus by literally half a minute and had to wait another half an hour for the next one. The driver was very professional and always proactive in helping with luggage when getting on and off. My favorite part was the hotel breakfast; apart from sushi, the selection of seafood, milk, coffee, and delicate pastries were all superb. I also enjoyed the hotel's hot springs (onsen); a daily soak really helped melt away the fatigue. The toiletries provided at the onsen were also of good quality. The bar and the paid swimming pool on the 14th floor offer fantastic beach views, making them excellent spots for sunset watching. The hotel's surroundings are convenient, with supermarkets, convenience stores, and small restaurants nearby. Naminoue Shrine is right next door, and the beach is just a 10-minute walk away. The only downside is the inconvenient transportation. Getting to any attraction requires either taking a taxi or walking over 1.5 km to catch a bus or monorail. Despite the language barrier, using a translation app to communicate with the staff always yielded helpful and satisfactory responses.

We absolutely made the right choice with this beachfront hotel! The location is superb – we had direct ocean views from our room's balcony, and sleeping to the sound of the waves at night was simply wonderful. Our room was spotless and fully equipped with all necessary amenities, ensuring a very comfortable and convenient stay. With the beach right downstairs, we could simply change and walk straight out to enjoy it – no long commutes needed. The staff were also very friendly, making the overall experience incredibly relaxing. It's the perfect choice if you're looking for a relaxing stay without venturing off the island.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, conveniently just a 5-minute walk from the subway station – an easy stroll even with luggage. The meeting point for day tours is also a short 8-minute walk away. With large department stores, drugstores, and numerous restaurants in the vicinity, you'll find everything you need. Even for those unfamiliar with Okinawa, the hotel's central and accessible location provides a great sense of security and convenience. The breakfast truly deserves a special mention. While the variety might not be extensive, I enjoyed it every morning for four days without getting bored. The dishes were consistently fresh, offering a good selection of Chinese, Japanese, and Western options. All amenities are thoughtfully placed by the elevators on the first floor, allowing you to easily grab coffee sachets or other items on your way up, then brew them in your room and enjoy the view. This hotel truly offers excellent value for money. Although officially a four-star hotel, it also provides self-service laundry and dryers, which is an incredibly convenient feature, especially for longer stays. Highly recommended!
