    We found the bed and pillows slightly uncomfortable, which was a minor problem. The swimming pool is decent but rather small, and the breakfast was expensive (2,200 yen), though we didn't try it so can't comment on quality.

    The location is brilliant, close to the beach and the aquarium, and good views of the sea. Our room was spacious, the toilet had a bath tub and the staff provided us with more towels when needed. We got the room on a discount so it felt like good value overall.

    Hotel is a bit old and worn. No lift in the hotel which is not convenient moving luggages up and down.

    Locates mins away from the aquarium, and Lawson on the other side. Room with full ocean view.

    The location is prefect! Just next to the aquarium with about 10 mins walk Our Hotel room was connected to a small garden and straight to the pool. It’s welcome to play firework on the rooftop And the most impressive part was the “ treasure map game’ that my kid had a lot of fun with.

    The insect netting on the window needed fixing. Larger mugs and glasses should be provided along with at least a tea spoon.

    A good buffet breakfast with some menu changes each day. Right by Churaumi Aquarium and the Ocean Expo Park. Large spacious room with an interesting sea view. Good cleaning regime provided.

    These weren't necessarily a problem for me, but should be listed in the summary. There is no elevator on the grounds so people with disabilities or surgeries be aware, , water bottles are not provided in room (but there is a lawson next door and there is a vending machine on the first floor),, they ask for arrival time on booking.com, but do NOT allow early check-in, check-in only at 3pm

    The view from the hotel was beautiful and it was right next to the aquarium. The staff was kind.

    I wish that it was easier to get to our room from the outside. It was in the middle of the main bldg on the 2nd floor. I guess it could be worse though. The main bldg looks nice but is obviously dated—there is a musty smell but it’s bearable.

    I loved the proximity to the aquarium & friendliness of the staff. I also like that they had a store & small activities for my kids (7yo & 8yo). We really enjoyed our stay!

    The buffet breakfast was quitte disappointing for the price we paid .There was limited choice compared with the one (at the same price) of the Mahaina hotel where we stayed for a few years .We really like your hotel and hope that you will find some way to improve the menu offered in time for our next stay.Thank you.

    The free hotel shuttle to other hotel and dining area stops service before 7pm, I think, so if you plan to use it, do so beforehand. Otherwise it is just the convenience store up the street and the restaurant across the street as your only food options. Not even the hotel restaurant is open beyond breakfast. Wish the front desk mentioned they sold discount aquarium tickets during check in. Staff was only moderately helpful in explaining hotel facilities and surrounding area attractions and services. Room wifi is decidedly weak and spotty.

    The hotel itself was as close to the Ocean Expo Park and Churaumi Aquarium as physically possible. The Okinawa Airport Shuttle (OAS) bus stop doesn't quite reach the hotel but the YKB888 bus does even though I didn't take it. If taking the OAS, use the bus stop past the hotel (not the aquarium) to save yourself from walking extra. The OAS bus stop is at the entrance to the next hotel and not on the street as Google Map might indicate. Was lucky to get a room on the same level as the lobby (Fl 2) so I didn't have to mess with stairs or elevators but still had an OK view of the ocean. Enjoyed the breakfast buffet.

    Lift is very small. Still using conventional keys to open the door (no card key) and only provided 1 set of key for each room (of 6).

    Great location if you want to go to the aquarium in the morning. Also easy access to emerald beach.

    Was super close to the aquarium and beach but they closed the gate to the access path from 9-6 so 5 minutes walk turns into 30 mins. Pool closed early right as we arrived so could not use. Restaurant only open for breakfast and not much else around.

    Nice hotel with comfortable accommodations very conveniently located to the aquarium
