Hotel Sansui Naha Ryukyu Onsen Naminoue-No-Yu

Opulent breakfast buffet is served every morning to. enjoy local delicacy. Nice setting for having the swimming pool and onsen together!

The hotel is close to the airport and Naha's only beach. However, the connection to public transportation is very poor. You have to walk a long way. You also have to walk a few minutes to restaurants and bars. Unfortunately, there are two streets with the character of a *** ***** ******** nearby. As a man, you have to be prepa*** to be approached. The hotel rooms could be larger, but the bathroom is very good. The cleanliness was okay, but I had stains on the bed sheets. The reception staff could be more polite, the rest of the staff was fine but could be improved. On the plus side, there is a free shuttle service to the airport and you can use the pool, sauna and onsen for free. However, 4500 yen is charged for the skypool, but this includes free (alcoholic) drinks. A little too expensive for what is on offer, but overall not a bad choice.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, especially because of the spa facilities. The spa includes a sauna, a pool, an onsen, a cold bath, showers, and everything is very clean and well-maintained. A special mention goes to the fact that the spa is tattoo-friendly for both men and women. I have three medium-sized tattoos on my arms and saw other women who were even more tattooed than me — it was never an issue. I double-checked at the front desk, and they confirmed that tattoos are accepted. I'm highlighting this because I saw some other reviews saying the spa wasn't tattoo-friendly, but that was not my experience at all. The only downside I found is that the rooms are a bit noisy — you can easily hear what's going on in the hallways throughout the day, which is unfortunate. Also, the hotel is not exactly close to the city center; it's about a 15–20 minute walk. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this hotel, especially for the spa! Oh, and the bathrooms are nice haha!
