"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!"
"We only stayed here one night but it was great. Large quadruple room for our family of 4. Clean, comfortable and quiet. Fantastic location close to main strip and monorail. Would recommend."
"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."
