Hotel Mahaina Wellness Resorts Okinawa

Upon arrival early in the morning, I asked to be upgraded to a room with the absolute best view, and to get early check-in. I was given a reasonable price, and I was veeeery happy with my decision. We got the room in the middle on the top floor with the breathtaking view of the sundown. Unfortunately we only stayed for two nights, but it was a very nice hotel. It was obvious that the facilities were of an older date, but I really enjoyed the stay. I had my kid with me and we were offered a lot of good quality amenities, including amazing hair and body products as well as matching pyjamas, which we enjoyed so much! The hotel was very kid-friendly. The family bathroom was amazing after a long day with adventure, and we bought some fun bath bombs in the hotel shop, which also had toys, beach wear and souvenirs. A tip: if you are going to the beach at the Bisezaki, i recommend that you buy some beach shoes in the shop. The breakfast was okay, and there was a great variety and a lot of options. The staff was very kind, and helped us with whatever we needed.

A great location for the aquarium and time at the beach. Nice shops right next door. Good connections via hotel shuttle and express busses.

Could not believe how great this hotel was (or how cheap!). We stayed in a family room which was very spacious - twin beds plus a tatami area with 2 futons. Room had a little kitchen (but no cooking or eating utensils), there is a communal microwave on level 1 and an ice machine on level 3. Bathroom was a little dated but we never used it anyway as the onsen is seriously amazing. Great rock pool with an outdoor garden feel, lots of showers. We often had the whole place to ourselves. Pools are also great. Outdoor pool is huge with a shallow kids pool as well. When a storm came in and they had to close the outdoor pool they opened the indoor pool for us (which was lovely and warm). Staff were all wonderfully polite, helpful and friendly. The pool attendants were hilarious and also really helpful. We stayed 4 nights and wished we had longer. Location was a great base for the middle of Okinawa island - ocean expo park (which had loads to do, even on rainy days), Nago and surrounds, Kouri, Yagaji and Sesoko island and the southern part of Yanbaru.

Good buffet spread for breakfast. Very good location if you are planning to visit the Churaumi Aquarium , about 10 minutes drive away from the hotel.

The room was a lot bigger than expected. It had a tatami section. There was also a small kitchen with stove. Our favorite was the public bath (onsen), but no tattoo allowed. However, the reception gives away free tattoo cover so you can enjoy their facilities ammenities.
