Hotel Mahaina Wellness Resort Okinawa

The location is excellent! You can take a bus directly from DFS in Shintoshin, and it stops right at the hotel entrance. While the room facilities are a bit old, the rooms are very spacious, perfect for family trips. There's a commercial street downstairs with a Starbucks and an Okinawa specialty supermarket. Getting to the aquarium is also convenient, with a shuttle bus service available for round trips. After a full day out, you can easily find dinner downstairs, and there's even an ice cream truck! We really enjoyed our two-night stay.

Traveling with three people, we were looking for a spacious hotel, so we booked a duplex twin room. It perfectly met our needs! The size of the room is unbeatable in Japan. However, apart from the space, the hotel is quite old. The room decor is dated, and the fabric sofa had quite a few stains. The most significant issue was that the curtains in the duplex room didn't cover the windows completely, so the room was flooded with sunlight early in the morning! Other services were typical for Japanese hotels, with fresh towels provided daily. If you book in advance, the value for money is still pretty good!

The hotel is a bit old, but overall it's pretty good. There's a bus from the airport that takes about 3 hours to get there. The staff were very attentive and even provided a free shuttle to the aquarium. There's a great shopping area around the hotel with various restaurants, bars, a Starbucks, and a small convenience store. A taxi to Junglia costs about 4500 JPY; I'd recommend using Didi's international version. Overall, I was satisfied with my two-day stay!
