Nice hotel - but tricky to find

7 star service

1 Star – Bait and Switch Pricing, Disappointing Experience Our stay at Hotel Nikko Alivila started with what felt like a classic bait-and-switch. After traveling for more than 14 hours and driving through the rain in a rental car, we arrived exhausted, only to be told that our room rate had increased by more than $300. We immediately questioned the charge, but the staff told us we had only two options: pay the higher rate or lose our reservation. After such a long journey, we had no realistic choice but to pay. No guest should be put in that position after booking a reservation in advance. It was an incredibly frustrating and stressful way to begin our vacation. To make matters worse, the overall experience did not justify the premium price. The hotel's amenities, service, and overall value were noticeably below what we experienced at the Grand Mercure Okinawa Cape Zanpa Resort, located just up the road. The Grand Mercure offered better facilities, a more enjoyable atmosphere, and far greater value for the money. We expected much more from Hotel Nikko Alivila given its reputation, but instead left feeling taken advantage of. I cannot recommend this hotel based on our experience, especially if you expect the price you booked to be the price you actually pay.

The staff was amazing and very welcoming. The room was very large and had everything we needed. Super clean. The only complaint was that the dryer did not dry our clothes appropriately. Also, you cannot get breakfast there unless you order the night before. No other facilities on site for eating. Overall, it was an excellent stay and I highly suggest it!

Good value breakfast.
