The hotel is in a perfect location in the middle of nowhere but close to some lovely tourist attractions. Airport limousine bus stops right in front of the hotel (OAS/APL and OAS/RSL that run between Naha and Churaumi aquarium). The public bus stop is 5 minutes away. Busena Marine Park is in perfect walking distance, and the walk is very pleasant.
There are a few restaurants nearby and Lawson right in the same building and overall you don't need a car to have a nice vacation in this hotel.
But it is a cheap hotel, very cheap for Okinawa indeed. How do they maintain this low price you may ask? Well, all the amenities are paid, the toiletries feel very cheap in comparison to other hotels in Japan. There's a beach but the beach chairs are paid separately. And you can only use this beach 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (the highest tide was 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., and when the tide is low the swimming area becomes rocks - very inconvenient indeed. I know the tide changes, but such was our luck).
We didn't get any free beach activities despite what was advertised in other reviews. And when we asked if our company of 5 adults could use a table indoors (it was heavy rain and wind outdoors) in a completely empty breakfast restaurant in the evening - we were asked to pay ridiculous 2000 yen per person.
No device or clothes rack or not a flimsy chair on a spacious balcony, where one could dry their swimwear. Just one chair in the room. Also, for some reason we couldn't open our door and balcony door simultaneously, for the sound that rushing wind made was loud enough to wake the whole hotel up.
On the bright side - the rooms have very solid sound insulation, the bed was wide and comfortable.
All in all, I have a mixed feelings about this stay. Could've been better, could've been worse.
