Best Okinawa Hotels

"In the afternoon, the hotel provides complimentary welcome drinks like soft drinks and popsicles. Signing up with your email gets you a free gift (you can choose from six options); I picked the Awamori, which was a great choice. The complimentary promotional flyer also included a voucher for a free face mask and a 10% discount at the Ryukyu Onsen mask shop located right next door. There are lots of special perks and promotions available. There's a counter downstairs at the hotel where you can book various activities, such as snorkeling. The onsen area in the main building is smaller compared to the annex. A great feature is that the women's onsen in the annex includes a sauna. They also rotate the onsen bath scents weekly. Breakfast offered a very generous and wide selection, even including ice cream. My only minor critique is that many options were carb-heavy (rice, noodles), which felt like a bit of a carb overload. The salad bar was also a bit limited, mostly cabbage. Accessing the upper floors requires a room key, which enhances security. Ice machines and washing machines are also available and very convenient. Sunset Beach is just a short walk across a bridge from the hotel. The Chatan area also offers a free shuttle bus service, making it easy to visit Aeon Mall and catch a movie at the adjacent cinema."

"100% will want to stay here again. A very new and nice hotel. Great amenities, nice room space and decorations. Staff were friendly. Public bath within the hotel. Thoughtful enough to provide slippers for room and within hotel use to walk to the public bath. Free welcome drink tickets with a range of alcoholic & non alcoholic drinks to choose from. Huge carpark at the side of the hotel with a huge convenience store (family mart) right in front. Huge plus for those who doesn't want to eat in the hotel and too lazy to drive out of the compound for food."

"Amazing hotel. The staff is very polite and attentive The room is very bright and spacious. The breakfast was very good, the both restaurants - Japanese and Italian - was quite good, but it's not really big so there is a line. Also take out option is available in Paseo Garden restaurant. Aqua zone have two swimming pools the indoors and the outdoors one. Guests may purchase sauna and sento ticket for 550 ¥. The hotel located in 600 m from Ginawan beach, it takes about 10 mins to get there. Hotel souvenir shop has variety of custom and fabric things, prices are normal. I advice you to buy souvenirs here There are several cafés and convenient stores nearby."

"The breakfast and dinner options were honestly fantastic. There were plenty of options that ranged from Italian to traditional Japanese. I really enjoyed the night we grilled at our table."

"Great hotel to stay in. Booked this place at a last minute due to good reviews and it did not disappoint me. But there are small issues that could be improved. Service was tip top. Everyone was helpful and cheerful. Room is big and has sufficient space to put 3 large opened luggages. You can even dry your clothes at the balcony. There are vending machines in every floor I guess? You can even wash your clothes using their washing machine too. Powder Room was separated from the toilet which is great. The husband can do their business in the toilet while the wife does her make up. No sweat no waiting. Amenities in the room was not enough but fret not, you could get the amenities from the lobby yourself between 2pm to 11pm. There are even free snacks during this timing. Location was quite near to Rycom Mall about less than 10mins drive. It is an 1hr drive to the city of Naha and Airport. Swimming pool is large and indoor. They provide floats. However, i don't think I could stay in the swimming pool area for too long as I felt breathless due to low ventilation. But we had so much fun at the swimming pool. Breakfast however does not have much choices for long stays. You eat the same thing everyday which is a little boring for me. Hotel need to try and change the varieties sometimes. On the last day of breakfast we had to spent eating in a function room due to the restaurant being closed but everything was cold. It was not very nice eating cold pancakes, cold food. Overall it was a nice stay in Okinawa Grand Mer Resort. I recommend you to stay here."

"The room is big n clean. The view n staff is good. Location is good.there is a bike shop across the road had a wonderful n easy bike ride . ( very short though- 5 mins to left n right end ,left to the beach, right to the restaurant along the coast )"

"I LOVEEEE THE ROOM sooo sooo much! Self Check-in is very easy just have to make sure that we checked in in advance from email they send us before actually go check-in. Just have to put pin code / scan QR code. very easy. One drawback is that the wall is pretty thin. I stay on the highest floor but still can hear outside noises but not so loud still acceptable. The area is close to everything too. Great location, Great place"

"The room is facing the sea, so relax and quiet. The view is beautiful and the room is tidy. The breakfast is ok but don’t have many choices compare to other hotels."

"👍😆 The hotel environment and atmosphere are very good, and the lobby has a slight aromatherapy which is very comfortable. The room was large and clean, and the view from the terrace was amazing. (But the weather in Okinawa changes quickly and it may suddenly rain heavily, so remember to close the door when you go out) There are self-service water dispensers and beverage vending machines on each floor, and snacks and daily necessities are sold on certain floors. The waiter was very nice and patiently answered questions. There is a large public bath where you can take a bath. The buffet breakfast for the whole day was quite rich, with many ingredients grown/made by themselves. The own brand milk had a strong taste, which is highly recommended. 👎😅 The air conditioner is not cold enough. When the temperature outside is around 25 degrees, you need to be patient and wait for the room to cool down. Another inconvenience is that the hotel is located on the top of the mountain. The way up the mountain is a bit difficult to find and the walk is tiring. Although there are shuttle buses to nearby towns and large shopping malls, there are not many buses (the timetable is attached in the picture), and they are only slightly larger light trucks. Be careful when carrying large luggage, as they can still be put in when there are fewer people. It is better to be prepared to call a taxi when going back at night."

"I instantly fell in love with this beachfront apartment! ✅ Self Check-in Hiccup The check-in process is self-service, and I initially encountered a bit of a snag (perhaps due to an outdated system or unclear email instructions), almost getting flustered. Thankfully, an incredibly helpful, angel-like staff member appeared and assisted me enthusiastically – huge thanks! Their assistance immediately turned my whole trip around for the better! 💫 🏡 A Room Like a Mini-Home The moment I opened the door, I was enveloped in a sense of warmth and coziness; it was spotlessly clean. From the living room sofa, you get a panoramic view of Chatan Bay, where the sky beautifully merges with the ocean. Whether it's sunny or rainy, the healing scenery is always there to accompany you. The two chairs on the balcony make it the perfect little nook for sipping coffee and gazing out at the sea. ☕ 🍳 Well-Equipped Kitchenette & Handy Appliances There's a small kitchen, perfect for preparing simple meals. It's fully equipped with a rice cooker, kettle, microwave, refrigerator, and a variety of dishes and utensils – truly feeling like a home away from home. The bathroom offers stable hot water and perfect water pressure for a very comfortable shower experience. Plus, there's a washing machine and dryer, so you can keep your clothes fresh daily – incredibly convenient! 💬 In a nutshell: it truly felt like home, and my spirit felt wonderfully nurtured! Highly recommended for independent travelers who appreciate spaciousness and sea views. This isn't a lavish hotel, but it's absolutely an apartment that delivers a perfect blend of 'homely comfort and healing serenity.' Next time I visit Chatan, Okinawa, I'd love to stay here again!"
