Beach Hotels in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan

We booked our stay here thinking that, for the hefty price tag, access to a lounge would be included as standard. Unfortunately, we were disappointed to learn that wasn’t the case. Had we known this upfront, we likely would have chosen a different, more affordable hotel *WITH* a lounge access. That said, the location is fantastic if you want to be right next to the action of Kokusaidori. The facilities are top-notch, and the rooms are incredibly spacious, which was a nice surprise. A highlight of our stay was the restaurant staff, who were exceptional. Breakfast was first class, with high-quality ingredients and a pastry selection that was probably the best we've had at a hotel in Japan. The staff made us feel incredibly welcome and well taken care of, adding to the overall positive experience during breakfast. Overall, while the price didn't quite meet our expectations, the excellent location, impressive facilities, and outstanding service—especially from the restaurant team—made the stay memorable.

The room is spacious and the balcony overlooks the beautiful sea. The hotel has several restaurants to choose from, and dinner can be taken care of in the hotel. The beach at sunset is very interesting, and you can walk along the exposed road to the center of the beach. Ishigaki Island is very comfortable for leisure and vacation. The hotel is quite satisfactory in terms of decoration and service. It is a destination and hotel that can be visited again.

The room was large and comfortable. But we were not allowed to use the 3rd bed, saying that only 2 adults were allowed in the room, and a child was not allowed a bed. Breakfast for the child was also paid. The hotel did not congratulate me on my birthday (and I had an anniversary, 50 years). The pool was very cold.

Our recent stay at the Grand Mercure Okinawa Cape Zanpa Resort was memorable and enjoyable. While the location does require driving to access nearby conveniences such as restaurants and stores, the hotel itself offers ample amenities that enhance the experience. The breakfast selection is exceptional and not to be missed, catering well to a range of tastes and preferences. Families will find the resort particularly appealing, with child-friendly facilities that promise a fun and engaging stay. We were particularly taken by the variety and popularity of the snacks and drinks offered at the open bar on the first floor. We look forward to returning during the summer season to take full advantage of the water park and pool facilities. For the onsen, I was fortunate I was able to purchase tattoo covers over the reception counter.

The overall stay experience is very satisfactory! The room is bright and clean, with plenty of space and a very comfortable stay. The staff are friendly and polite, willing to help, and make people feel very caring. The hotel uses self-service machines for check-in and check-out, and the process is smooth. But if you have any questions, the staff will take the initiative to help, so don't worry. I particularly like the hotel's free additional services: - Beach towels for rent: convenient for going to nearby Maezato Beach to play in the water without having to prepare your own. - Free bicycle rental: can be used for up to two hours, suitable for short trips around the area, very practical! - 24-hour beverage bar: Free drinks are provided in the lobby, which can quench your thirst at any time, which is a plus. - Rich free breakfast: The food is varied and delicious, which can start the new day with a full stomach. Overall, it has high cost-effectiveness, considerate service, and convenient facilities. It is recommended to friends who want to have a relaxing trip!

Location: On the outskirts of Naha city - 15 mins by car from both the airport (traffic permitting) and city centre. Also within the red light district so not recommended to venture out on foot at night (see picture) Parking: Hotel has limited parking within premises for 1,500yen per day (but unlimited driving in and out of car park), and needs to reserve at the hotel at 11am each day (so if you arrive at night you'll at least have to sort out the first night yourself). There are small car parks dotted around the area but firstly, the car parks are small so no guarantee of spaces and secondly, the car parks are located amongst various love hotels. The best we found (in terms of location and safety) is one at Costa Village ESPANA which is 5 minutes on foot from the hotel (500yen overnight and 700yen day park) (see picture) Room: Very small (i.e. standard Japanese semi-doubles), but the bathroom is spacious with onsen facilities Breakfast: A very good spread including local dishes, 1,900yen per person (kids eat for free) (see pictures) Facilities: Swimming pools on 2/F (free) and rooftop with bar (paid, so havent tried). Onsen on 2/F also opens till late, with both indoor and outdoor onsen, and quite packed

This hotel location is good! Very close to the main area. We could walk to restaurants and the beach easily. Love the idea that we can access and use the pool facility in another Hilton :)

This is the second time to stay with this hotel in 2 years. Location: 8/10 The hotel is located in the middle of Okinawa Island in Onna area. It takes around 50-55 mins drive from Naha airport. Some local restaurants and Lawson can be found around 5-10 walk around hotel. Nothing wrong with the location as we selected it. Service: 10/10 Booked the club lounge access with the express check in and snack time during the day. No words to describe its service as the smiles are everywhere and always be welcomed by everyone in the hotel. To highlight one thing that we needed a screwdriver to open a small cover of my son’s toy, the team was so good to fine one for me which I do not think a hotel needs to help me for a request like that. Facilities: 9/10 The outdoor swimming pools were closed due to the weather. Room Size: 10/10 The room size is excellent, more than enough for a family with a fantastic sea view, as you can see in the picture. 這是我在兩年內第二次入住這家酒店。 位置：8/10 酒店位於沖繩島的恩納地區，距離那霸機場約需50-55分鐘車程。周圍有一些當地餐廳和Lawson便利店，步行約5-10分鐘可達。選擇這個位置沒有問題。 服務：10/10 我們預訂了club lounge access，並享受了快速入住和白天的小吃時間。服務無法用言語形容，酒店的每個人都面帶微笑，讓人感到隨時受到歡迎。特別提到的是，我們需要一把螺絲刀來打開我兒子玩具的小蓋子，團隊非常好地幫我找到了，這樣的要求我認為酒店不需要幫忙。 設施：9/10 由於天氣原因，戶外游泳池關閉。 房間大小：10/10 房間大小非常好，對於家庭來說完全足夠，並且擁有如圖片所示的精彩海景。

Although the hotel is quite old, it is well maintained and has good sound insulation. However, I am not used to the purified water used in the hotel. It has the best beach on Miyako Island. You can see the jelly sea as soon as you open the door. It is a good place to take photos on sunny and cloudy days. The supporting restaurants (Japanese, teppanyaki, BBQ, all-day bar), convenience stores, entertainment, parent-child activities, swimming pools, and marine activities are all very complete and convenient, and some require advance reservations. You can communicate in Japanese and English, and the service staff you meet are all friendly and smiling. It also provides booking services for chartered cars and car rental tours throughout the island. It is across the sea from Laijian Island. If you want to go to the city or the airport, there are designated buses and shuttles that can arrive in 30-60 minutes, and taking a taxi is not expensive~ It is a hotel that is very suitable for lying down and watching the sea. It is very cost-effective when you encounter a good price

Large hotel with spacious rooms, though a bit dated but clean and well maintained. Nice beach and great sea views from the rooms. But there are many limitations, especially for foreign tourists and those without a car. First of all, this place is rather remote, though not very far from Naha city but getting there will take about 2 hours on the Airport Hotel limousine bus , fare is ¥1430 per person, and there are not many services per day, if you miss the bus, you have to walk 30 minutes to Yomitan village to take the public bus, which takes more than 2 hours to Naha, or pay through your nose with taxi which costs more than ¥12,000. Almost none of the staff are able to converse in English effectively, reception staff will need to translate with an I pad and show the translation to customers. Being a large international resort hotel , they are extremely strict with the check in time, our limo bus arrived at about 1.30pm , when we asked to be checked in ,the reception staff said ok, but she told me ”early in 3000”, which I couldn't understand initially, she later showed me on her I pad , which displayed ” early check in fee ¥3000 for 1 hour”, there is no way to get a check in on arrival without paying a fee if you arrive early, even when the rooms are ready- which is unthinkable for anywhere else in the world ! It appeared that all guests arriving early decided to wait in the lobby till 3pm. Guests were not even offered any welcome drink, which was unthinkable for a resort hotel. Each room here cost more than ¥30,000 per night . Many other cons , which are rather unacceptable for foreign tourists- All the TV channels are in Japanese. Rather far away from any eating places , and not many choices. In rooms - the aircond cannot be set lower than 22 degree C , there is no shower cap and spoon provided.
