Naha: North Okinawa Sightseeing Tour & Churaumi Aquarium
"This is an incredibly luxurious hotel. It stands out from the moment you walk in. Spacious rooms. Fantastic breakfast. It was so nice I went and paid extra for a massage. They even give you a small minibar everyday for free. So far best hotel I’ve stayed in Naha and I’ll definitely go back!"
"The hotel is locates in a quiet and peaceful area, they have an incredible Nikai beach on a site. There is also a decent swimming pool. Staff were really attentive and helpful all the time. Breakfast and lunch were top notch with good variety of options available. Parking is free for the guests so you can enjoy short trips around. There is also Gala in 10 min walk (2 min drive) where you can find little souvenir shop, few cafes, snorkelling and diving company (highly recommend to use them),...
"Overall the place is very nice but there are far too many ‘rules’ that make relaxation a task. The main centre pool is only open to guests who are prepared to pay extra for it and some of the bars and restaurants have very odd operating hours."
