Southern Beach Hotel & Resort OKINAWA

It's a really good accommodation for families to stay in. Children's favorite swimming pools and slides are the best, and although it is small, the beach is right in front of the hotel, so you can enjoy swimming. However, it is inconvenient because there are no convenience facilities (convenience stores, restaurants) around.

We liked the room size and view, we appreciate the front desk staff for helping us to get back our backpack we forgot on the bus. The swimming pool is the best, the beach isn’t natural but clean and safe. The hotel has some activities for kids that were fun, there were a lot of kids there. The bus is convenient, it goes directly from airport to hotel and back, but you will need to get the ticket at the bus door and pay on the bus that we didn’t know about it. However, the hotel is outdated, it needs to be upgraded and cleanliness, checked in was confused because the lobby is on 2nd floor but no sign for it. Buffets are ok: more Asian food, a few choices of Western food. We gave 4 stars instead of 3 stars bc the room price and the appreciation to the front desk

Hotel facility is good especially at the price point, proximity to a very family friendly beach helps a lot. Pool is large and the water slide is fun. Stayed with family of four and friends. We all enjoyed the property. Breakfast buffet food is pretty poor and the hotel has some odd policies like trying to charge 4 year olds for the included breakfast and charging you to use the pool before 3PM check in. Otherwise though, if you want to relax in a good pool and a kid safe beach, it’s pretty good. Close but not walking distance to decent restaurants.

Wonderful indoor and outdoor swimming pools. There are just few facilities for kids. The fitness gym was closed, too.

Something to note, fitness facility is now closed permanently despite still being promoted. Also, pool is very narrow and full of families.

Stayed 4 nights with my family. This was the second time we stayed at the hotel. We had a great time, staffs were great and friendly. Will definitely go back again.

Great for families, ok for solo traveller. Restaurant buffet mediocre and overpriced. Music from loudspeakers on beach.... annoying if you want to hear the waves

Wonderful view from the room. Very friendly staff n beautiful beach right near the hotel. I enjoyed the stay. I definitely will come back with my family.

Pictures of the hotel do not tell correct story. They have been expertly done so that the huge parking lot is not visible. But still the view from seaside is amazing when you look over the parking lot and do not get disturbed by landing or taking off planes. On the other hand do not book the room from city view as it is directly to ugly ship yard. Overall the condition of the public wet spaces were below par and very simple and looked used. The hotel at the time we were there FULL of kids so it must be very kid friendly. So if you are heading for adult trip I would not recommend this as the pool and buffet breakfast are full of running kids. The service in the hotel is excellent and friendly but English not so well spoken.
