Cari Hotel Scenic di Naha, Okinawa

"Highly recommend this hotel if you’re staying in Naha, great location with modern and clean rooms. If you are renting a car, parking is a bit more of a hassle because the hotel parking is an automated underground parking system. Cars can only be accessed 1 at a time, so there might be a wait time. Besides the parking situation everything else was fine, staff was very friendly and helpful."

"Unexpectedly Perfect Stay at Southwest Grand Hotel! 🌟 We stumbled upon Southwest Grand Hotel due to a last-minute flight change, and what a blessing in disguise it turned out to be! Our extra day in Okinawa became one of the most memorable parts of our trip—all thanks to this incredible hotel. 🛏️ Stylish & Photogenic Rooms The room was modern, chic, and absolutely Instagram-worthy. I even turned it into a mini photo studio and captured some beautiful family portraits of my wife and our 3-month-old baby. My wife was over the moon with the results! 🍳 Breakfast That Delights Every Palate The breakfast spread was phenomenal—offering both Western and Japanese options, all bursting with flavor. The cheese selection and homemade yogurt with honey were standouts. Don’t miss them! 📍 Prime Location Just a minute’s walk from Kokusai-dori (国際通り), the hotel is perfectly located for last-minute shopping or grabbing essentials. Super convenient and central! 🍽️ Vibrant Evenings As the nearby streets settle into a peaceful hush and most restaurants wind down with only a handful of diners, the lobby restaurants at Southwest Grand Hotel remain buzzing with energy. The lively atmosphere, filled with cheerful faces and clinking glasses, speaks volumes about the quality and charm of the hotel’s dining experience. 💭 Still Dreaming About It Overall, our experience at Southwest Grand Hotel was truly delightful. Even now—almost a month later—I can still recall every moment with vivid clarity. If it weren’t for the limited parking, I’d confidently call it Michelin-worthy! This hotel is an absolute hidden gem, and without a doubt, I’ll be staying here again on our next visit to Okinawa!"

"The room is spacious enough to open two large suitcases comfortably. The location is very convenient — just a short walk to the metro and also close to the ferry terminal. The staff are friendly and helpful, making the stay very pleasant."

"Thank you for everything! I met a lovely receptionist named Annie in the front office—she's a passionate lady. The location is great too, just a 20-minute walk to the city centre."

"Hotel room was spacious and extremely clean. However we did not have a good experience with the reception counter. The staff I spoke to was rude and unhelpful."

"Very good communication and the room looks like the pictures. Hotel right by the beach, love the views. I arrived very dry late due to a cancellation from my airline and staff were able to help me to get in even without reservation personal be available at midnight. Only suggestion I would say maybe to add a microwave since family part and 7 eleven have so many items to be heated so would be nice to hit it up better at the room instead of the convenience store. Other than that, very nice and quiet place."

"We stayed here with 2 kids age 11 and 13 years old. Location is perfect, right outside the train station, 5 minutes walk to Donki (which has food, groceries, and everything). There is also a hotel carpark (¥1000 yen per day), but if it's full, you can use the public carpark right next to the hotel. However, there were a few things that could have been better. 1) We requested for an extra blanket but the hotel said they do not have any extra. What kind of hotel does not have extra blankets?! 2) We were informed at check in that they do not do certain type of cleaning every day, for example vacuuming is only every 2-3 days (can't remember the exact details). But we had to request for extra toilet paper and facial tissue because these were not replenished. Understand cleaning isn't done daily but toilet paper should be replenished daily."

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and attentive from the moment I arrived, and the check‑in process was smooth and quick. My room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything I needed for a relaxing visit. The location was convenient, making it easy to explore the area, and the overall atmosphere felt peaceful and inviting. I would happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant and hassle‑free experience."

"We stayed for four nights as a family of four, coming to Okinawa for a relaxing holiday. The two things we cared about most were the room size and breakfast—and we were very satisfied with both. Although the breakfast selection didn’t look very extensive at first, everything was delicious and well-prepared. There was a nice mix of Japanese, Okinawan, and Western options, and the menu changed daily, which kept things interesting. We left breakfast feeling full and satisfied every single day. The room was comfortable, and it was great that the TV had Netflix and YouTube available. Parking was also very convenient at 1100 yen per night (2pm–12pm). The location is excellent—right next to Naha Main Place, a popular local supermarket, and close to DFS Galleria as well. 7-11 just downstairs! The only minor downside was that the bathroom is located right next to the bed, and the sound insulation of the bathroom door could be better. Out of the two hotels we stayed at in Okinawa, this was our favourite. We would definitely choose to stay here again on our next self-drive trip!"

"The hotel is clean and nice, in a good location. The rooms are smaller, but since I was alone, it was not a problem for me. The hotel is 2 minutes from the monorail station and 5 minutes from the main bus station of Naha. You can also reach the center of the nightlife with a short walk. An additional advantage of the hotel is the Donki store on the ground floor which is open until 3am so you can always buy something if you need it. The rooms have a washer and dryer, which is also very convenient for longer stays."
