For the price this is an incredible hotel, brand new with a great room, staff and location. Not a great lobby! But that’s ok

Okinawa NaHaNa Hotel & Spa
Had an amazing stay in NaHana Okinawa. We stayed for 8 nights. Breakfast is priced well for the food served, staffs are very friendly, and laundry facilities are abundant. Cleaning service will attend every morning, and ensure we have our needs addressed.
