Kyushu and Okinawa Kid friendly Holidays

The room was spacious and the location was good. It was easy to get to and from the airport via monorail. The hotel was also within walking distance to kokusai-dori street.

The pool and basically whole property is absolutely stunning. The hotel itself is straight up a hill. We took the bus and then walked to the hotel. Huge mistake. Take a taxi. The hotel is also in a tourist trap area. Food around the hotel is way more expensive than food just 15 minutes down the road. Not near anything for tourists. And the bus is always late. So not great if you arent renting a car and want to get around the island.

I adored this hotel. The rooms were quite comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming and luxurious. When I stayed there, the tides were quite low, so the swimming area was too shallow to swim. But the beach was well tended and beautiful. And the pool area was lovely. My only criticism would be that the carpets in the common area were all stained and sad looking. Otherwise, I was very happy to stay in this hotel.

Beautiful hotel! The pool was amazing!

We booked in to the Grande Mercure for 3 nights during our 14 day trip for a bit of a relax with the kids (ages- 9, 10, 11 & 12). This totally hit the spot! We chose the executive level so we'd have access to the breakfast, snacks and drinks throughout the day and it was the best decision we made. It is a huge lounge with tons of space for families. We had great breakfast options and the coffee and drinks throughout the day were exceptional. We did not eat at the main restaurant but enjoyed lunches and one dinner at the Pizza/Waterside restaurant. It was nice to have the executive lounge space to get together with our friends, the kids could play games/cards and the adults were able to snack, read and drink when we weren't at the pool. The rooms were very well appointed and the waterslides, pools, lazy river and beach are all well maintained and easy to access. Of note, kids under 13, must be accompanied by an adult on the big tube waterslide AND in the water. That was a disappointment for us as our kids are all athletic swimmers but needed supervision IN the water at all times. We wished there was a swim test so the lifeguards could identify kids who are capable in the water. This was a very minor thing but did affect how we spent our time. Also of note, if its too windy (which we encountered during our time), there is no ability to open the umbrellas meaning there is next to no shade available at the pool. We had an exceptional meal @ Maruki Pizza a short Uber ride away.

The property is pretty far out of town if you’re able to drive a car in okinawa it’s no problem otherwise you’ll be stuck there due two taxi prices are outrageous. Besides that it’s a Nice property.

Amazing food, room was so nice, spa was amazing. Highly recommend this stay.

This was great accommodation. Very clean and a beautiful view. The staff were excellent. I would highly recommend this stay.
