Hotel Hot Springs di Okinawa Prefecture, Japan

I chose this hotel mainly because of the hotspring which is rare in Okinawa and the view is attractive. The hotel is large with a lot of facilities. Hotel room is spacious and the balcony view is nice. However, hotel room looks dated and a lot of stain on the carpet. There’s a large and free parking area opposite to the hotel which is a plus. Staying in Nanjo area offers a relaxing ambiance. It’s also not too far away driving to Naha.

I was very disappointed they AJ cancelled my booking at last minute while we were on the way to the hotel. We found out there was a big group staying that night. The hotel has no business to cancel my booking via Agoda by offering us a upgrade to cottage with condition to reply. The booking was confirmed and payment was already done to Agoda. Apparently they wanted to cater to a big group. Agoda was not helpful at all too. Call to Agoda was responded by a chatbot. I am forced to book AJ at a higher room rate on that afternoon itself. That time, thypoon wind was approaching and we were on bicycles, scare that no room as available in the vicinity. AJ did not even apologize for the cancellation and did not offer us the original room price. The counter staff cannot converse in English and compounded the issue. Food choices were limited. When we want to checkout during typhoon rain, we requested to pay for transport to send us cyclists to community bus station, but was turned down. Even there was an AJ coach available. How pathetic and uncaring! We could have been stuck at AJ. The cycle ride back out will be impossible and dangerous in the rain, wind and unforgiving hill terrain over 12km. This episode was the only unpleasant incident during out nice cycling trip around Okinawa island. AJ is an isolated place. The cottage was dated. The only thing nice was the surrounding, at the end of the cape. From now on, i would not use Agoda for bookings. At this time of writing, i have yet to receive my refund. Other booking platforms would have refunded immediately. Btw, a lovely Japanese lady offered us a lift back in her car for us 2 stranger cyclists, 2 Brompton bicycles and bags to Yanobaru. We were truly indebted to her and wish her well.

They staff was friendly, and had lots of amenities, including a courier service in the lobby. It was also attached to a convenience store.

We had a pleasant stay at Hotel Monterey Okinawa. On the plus side, the hotel is very clean, the beds are extremely comfortable, and the views are wonderful. The breakfast was also delicious with a good variety. However, there were a few downsides. Some things felt a bit ”money-grabbing” — the indoor pool and gym require an extra fee, and even the beach chairs come at an additional charge. It would be nice if these were included, especially for hotel guests. A few suggestions for improvement: it would be great to plant taller trees beside the outdoor swimming pool to provide some shade, and to add water dispensers in the outdoor areas. Also, having a water dispenser on each floor would be very helpful — one 500ml bottle of water per person per day is simply not enough, especially in Okinawa's heat. Overall a comfortable hotel with room for improvement on the value and facilities front.

I highly recommend this hotel! 1. **Convenient Transportation**: Although it takes about two to three hours by bus from Naha Airport, the bus is direct. The scenery along the way is beautiful, and there's a rest stop in the middle for a restroom break. The bus drops you off right at the hotel entrance, so it feels like a scenic tour bus. 2. **Spacious and Cozy Room**: The room has a long sofa that can easily sleep one to two children. The bedding is incredibly comfortable, and both the bathroom and toilet are large. The overall decor features natural wood tones, which feels very relaxing and soothing. 3. **Fantastic Balcony Sea View**: We were given a front-facing room on the second-highest floor, offering an unobstructed view of the beach and the sea – truly relaxing. 4. **Hotel Amenities**: You can enjoy the hot springs daily, and the beach is just a stone's throw away. The hotel's private garden is also exquisite and beautiful. The aquarium is about a 10-minute walk, or you can take the shuttle car from the path near the garden. 5. **Dining**: The hotel breakfast perfectly suited my taste. For dinner, we chose the izakaya, which offered most Okinawan specialty dishes. 6. **Exceptional Service**: The most commendable part! We accidentally left our shoes in the room when checking out. We contacted the hotel via email and received a prompt reply. They then shipped our shoes to our hotel in Naha within two days, assisting with communication throughout the process. A huge thumbs-up! I highly recommend it to everyone! PS: It was raining during our stay, but the beauty of the scenery was still evident!

The room is spacious clean but slightly outdated. The staff are professional, helpful and warm. Public bath hot spring and swimming pool are included with room rate theres also a gym. Amenities are well provided. Location is quite far from the city centre. 15-20mins walk to kokusai dori street, around 10 to monorail by foot. Convenience stores and local restaurant/cafe are within reach. Overall, our stay experience was above our expectation.

Stay at the main building!! They have a little beach at the back and a shuttle bus that goes around the whole resort area, there’s also a shuttle bus you can take from the airport to the hotel! And there’s a little store downstairs for you to get your necessities if you need any!

The room isn't huge, but it fits three beds. However, opening a suitcase can be a bit tricky. There's a small mini-pool on the second floor, perfect for younger kids. Every afternoon, there are free activities and complimentary drinks. About 80% of the guests are ********* tourists. Facilities: 4.5 stars Cleanliness: 4.5 stars Ambiance: 4.5 stars Service: There's a slim and sweet Japanese lady at the front desk who speaks excellent Chinese and is very enthusiastic about her service. Thumbs up! She's actually much more polite than some of the other Chinese staff at the front desk.

We were welcomed warmly by the hotel staff. One of the hotel staff (feeling bad for not getting their names) brought us to our room and showed us our room amenities. The Premium Suite is very big and there is only one such suite in the whole hotel. The Suite comes with a balcony, living room, bedroom, futon area, large bathroom and a separated toilet. The balcony faces the beautiful sea. The only downside during our trip is that the sunset was covered by the clouds. The dining area is on the 2nd floor where our booking included one full-course meal for both dinner and breakfast. The staff will ask for your preferred dining timing during the check-in. Our futons were set up during our dinner time. We got to eat a good variety of dishes during our meals, and the food was very good and fresh. The staff also tried to introduce each dish in English. Thank you. Hot bath/onsen and steam room is located on the 1st floor. Not sure if everyone is enjoying the bath within their room, it was pretty quiet during our visit. We did not notice any gym or laundry facilities though.  Price aside, it is definitely highly recommended for families and larger group of friends who likes to enjoy the hotel stay and amenities. You will probably not feel like travelling out after stepping in.

I really enjoyed my stay at Sansui Hotel in Naha. The hotel offers two swimming pools: one on the second floor and another on the 15th floor, which has a great atmosphere. It also has a sauna and a traditional onsen, with separate sections for men and women. The hotel is conveniently located for getting to and from the airport, and they also offer a free shuttle service. Another great advantage is that Naminoue Beach is only about a 10-minute walk away. One thing to keep in mind is that if you don't rent a car, reaching some of the beautiful beaches in the northern part of Okinawa can be quite difficult by public transport. Overall, I would highly recommend Sansui Hotel if you're looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay with plenty of facilities and amenities.
