Hotel Mahaina Wellness Resorts Okinawa

My family of 5 (with 2 teens and a tween) stayed in their Superior Room for 4 nights in June. We had chosen to break Okinawa vacation into 2 parts: northern Okinawa for the less touristy and crowded experience, and after that, 3 nights in Naha for the souvenir shopping and WW2 pilgrimage. Mahaina is a good base to explore the North: 1) Top value for money. Although property is aged, everything works, and their Superior room is a Western/Tatami combination of 2 twin beds and 3 futons on the Tatami. Very spacious and relaxing - even has a decent sized balcony. For my 4-night stay, the hotel threw in all breakfasts, a buffet dinner, and even Aquarium tix for the whole family. 2) Has everything we need - large public bath (which is awesome and quite rare in hotels in the area), coin laundry, indoor pool, access to food in the neighbouring new Mahaina Condotel for those odd hours post aquarium/ Nago visits, wifi! Food: Authentic and interesting, lots of plant-based options and enough in the meat department too. Breakfast buffet menu repeats in about a-third of the dishes. Dinner was good too. We enjoyed the cuisine. Service: Always friendly. Mood is quite relaxing and casual. Always able to find a reception staff who speaks good English! Beds: comfortable! And, sea view!! Location: close enough to the aquarium - the hotel also operates a shuttle service to the aquarium. Other than that, we drove so the distance to other attractions are quite manageable. A very good stay overall. Well done Mahaina!
