Experience of the stay
The Loisir Hotel Naha was so convenient, comfortable, and enjoyable that we stayed there again this time.
First, it was about a 15 to 20 minute taxi ride from Naha Airport. It's super close.
It's also just a quick taxi ride to International Street.
During less busy times, we could get there for the same price as taking the Yui Rail, which might even be cheaper?!
Right around the hotel, there’s a big local supermarket called 'Town Plaza Kanehide Nishinomachi Market'.
Inside the hotel, there are not only restaurants but also...
- Seven Eleven
- Souvenir shop
- Bakery (which even has deli and bento options!)
It’s just so convenient! Haha!
And there’s even an Orix Rent-a-Car counter! With such convenience, I can't even feel like trying other hotels anymore... I’m now a huge fan of Loisir Hotel Naha.
The hotel has an onsen pool too!!!
It’s incredibly comfortable... when I’m just floating with the kids on a ring, regular warm water pools can get chilly; however, the exquisite temperature plus the onsen water is truly a godsend for relaxation…
If you get bored, you can easily head to the outdoor pool. Lazing around on the beach beds of the outdoor pool terrace feels amazing.
After the pool, you can go straight to the large communal bath to soak in the onsen and relax.
Additionally, the hotel’s loungewear is extremely comfortable. I’d want to buy it if it were for sale. By the way, friends who have stayed at this hotel said exactly the same thing. And they also provide kids' sizes!
The breakfast buffet was delicious.
You can make your own taco rice, and there’s an unlimited supply of Blue Seal ice cream. The kids were thrilled.
The only downside is that the view from the room can vary greatly depending on the room.
Rooms facing the pool side have a great view of the sea, while the street-side rooms do not have the typical Okinawan scenery! This is probably reflected in the room prices, and since the rooms themselves are spacious and comfortable, thanks to HafH, we were able to book a great deal with flexible cancellation for our summer stay in Okinawa, so it was no problem for us!
Experiences during the trip
Even on our first night arriving late, we started our trip from this highly convenient hotel and headed to the main store of 'Steak House 88', which is just a one-meter ride away! The atmosphere and menu were a bit different from the International Street store, giving it an authentic feel. It was incredibly delicious.
We also rented a car from the hotel counter and headed to Manza. We had plenty of fun at the beach.
Every night, we ventured out to International Street, ate Blue Seal ice cream, enjoyed Okinawan cuisine with live traditional music, and devoured AW burgers... basically, we ate a lot! Haha.
Whenever we wanted, we swam in the hotel pool, took baths, bought snacks from the hotel bakery, and grabbed some Okinawa-exclusive items from Seven Eleven to eat... In the end, we just kept eating.
Although we didn’t do anything flashy or groundbreaking, we thoroughly enjoyed our family trip in Okinawa.
