Okinawa Main island hotels & places to stay

One never knows if the hotel is good for vacation in a new city. I booked this hotel based on location. Wasn’t sure about being so close to Depot Island ( crowds, noise, etc) It turned out it was the best thing we did. It was a bit far from the airport but can not beat the convenience of restaurants and shopping for daily necessities. We booked 2 rooms and the staff unlocked the connecting rooms which was super helpful. Hotel main building is older than I had anticipated. The staff barely speak English and not helpful as far as local tour information. We got to the hotel late so our room location had obstruct view to the ocean. I thought we had booked for a better room view but decided not to take it up with the hotel since we are already settled. Breakfast wasn’t 5 star but definitely sufficient to fill our tummies. We got to try several local Okinawa local food which was great. Food selections were changed slightly. Would stay again but try the annex building instead

One of the top hotels in Okinawa. I loved it very much. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast is a must try. Rooms were clean and they put a ice making machine on every floor. There is even Wifi in room. The hotel is right in the middle of Koukusai Dori, conveinent store next to the hotel, surrounded by lots of resturants and souvenior shops. However, if you plan on taking public transport for your trip, you better hope its not the rainy season, or you will be all wet before you get to the hotel from the monorail station.

We stayed in 3 hotels in Okinawa and this is definitely the best! Superb view of the sunset from the comfort of our room. Excellent service by the staff and super comfortable room with hot spring tub. They even packed breakfast for us knowing that we had to check out early and would miss the breakfast buffet. The terrace serves really good pancakes! Location is conveniently located about 15 mins from airport and within 30 mins to most of the shopping area in Okinawa.

One of the best in Okinawa! Great location, great breakfast and the important, friendly and helpful staffs. Located in the heart of the city, just about 5 minutes to the Main Street and about 12 mins to the monorail, let us have our easy life as home. Hotel’s breakfast is great, very fine, delightful and precise. Booked a snorkeling activity through the hotel and they have pick up service from their provider which is important to family travelers like us. One last thing. I have lost my sunglasses on the taxi and Hyatt’s staffs have put all their effort to locate the taxi driver and arrange it to send back to the hotel for me the next day!! Really amazing! They saved my life for the next few days in Okinawa, because I need my sunglasses to see clearly as I got some eyesight problem. Thanks again everyone in Hyatt Regency!

This is a great place to stay in Okinawa. As the hotel is located in Onna, central part of Okinawa, so we explored the northern and central part of the main island. Rooms are spacious and clean. Loved the bathroom! Highly recommend the wide range of food offered in buffet breakfast. In any case, there is not much choice for brekkie outside the hotel. Enjoyed the nightly light show in the hotel atrium. There is also a really nice indoor pool filled with fish and other sea creatures. Probably the only gripe I have is that there are charges for hotel parking which does not make much sense since we are staying guests.

This hotel is worth every single penny that you will spend on it. I will definitely come back to Hotel Aqua Citta on my next Okinawa Naha visit. From the size of the room, the rooftop glass pool, the bar next to the pool, low rate street car parks are all around the hotel (No need to worry about the parking issue is very important in Japan.) and the location which just about 10 mins walking distance from the Kokusaidori (famous shopping district). Based on all these positive elements and the price that I paid for my stay, I really can't complain about anything. lol To be honest, It's hard to find a complaint from my personal experienced. Maybe walking is the only issue, which I need to be a hand carry guy after my girlfriend shopped a lot from Kokusaidori. lol. Because the monorail is nothing closed to this hotel, so there are no distance differences between Kokusaidori to Hotel Aqua Citta or Hotel Aqua Citta to the nearest monorail station.

1. We received a 1000 Yen coupon when we indicated no room cleaning service needed. Coupon can be used hotel wide. 2. Breakfast can be substituted for lunch buffet, which is an excellent flexibility for ppl who has early morning sightseeing to rush to. 3. Breakfast was at level 1 with excellent spread of foods choices, a good mix of western and Japanese cuisine! Lovely 4. Lunch buffet was at Blue Lagoon with good food. The shabu shabu was a Super bonus for us meat lovers. 5. Hotel came with gym and a pool. If you have no activities you can spend a good time at the hotel itself with your friends and family 6. Hotel has a large provision shop, numerous restaurant and buffet choices. There was a morning pop-up market nearby the lobby. 7. Room was very spacious with balcony. 8. There was excellent sea front view at the breakfast venue and you can walk along the beach. Hotel is right in front of ocean. 9. This hotel is for those who drives and it is convenient by driving to Churaumi Aquarium, Kouri island and various capes. Not for those on public transport 10. Hotel room carpet was not Super clean but can understand as this is an old hotel. Key is still being use for unlocking room door. 11. This is a recommended hotel for stay. We will come again if going to Okinawa and driving again!

ive stayed in over 20 hotels in Japan in the past year and this is by far the best. it is located a few steps away from Kokusai Dori, the heart of Naha, yet is so peaceful and quiet at night. it’s convenient to travel to other parts of okinawa from here and i love how huge the room is- way larger than Japan’s standards. it is also really clean. with subway tiles in the toilet, there are too many grouts none had mold (i am anal like that). apart from one staff with pony-tail and dyed yellowish hair, all the staff are super helpful and polite. a very child-friendly hotel that provides pillows and body wash in cute dispensers for free and has a little lego play area at the lobby for kids! parking is also easy even though there are no carparks in the building. just behind the hotel is a carpark. despite it being small, i never had difficulties getting a lot regardless of what time i came back at. parking is cheap too at ¥1000 a day!

By far, this is the best place to be in Okinawa. The hotel is new, spacious and very clean. It captures the captivating view of the emerald beach. The food is good especially the beef they use. They have lots of restaurants. Their amenities would really make you have fun with water (pools, onsen, beach, sauna, massage). The staff are all courteous and nice. Checking-in and out is a breeze. They have buses going to the airport and other places. The hotel is just walking distance from Churaumi. You can take the mini cart to go to the different places in Churaumi (dolphin show, manatee place, old okinawa houses, aquarium, garden) and back to the hotel. Being in this hotel is waking up to the scene of paradise in Okinawa. Highly recommended!

Beautiful facilities, amazing beach and views from the room and from almost anywhere. The rooms are really comfortable, good size, good beds, nothing bad at all. Good restaurants, but the sushi bar is exceptional, dont miss it (you have to make reservation) As a general recommendation for Okinawa, If you want to move around the island to know more than the hotel you're staying, rent a car, the public transportation is not similar to the rest oj japan.

I enjoyed a great three night stay at the Estinate Hotel. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, looking after my bags when I arrived early so I could explore Naha. The spoken English for Japan was excellent and they were very clear about all the hotel details (check out, wifi etc.). The location is about 5-10 minute walk away from the nearest monorail station, and on one of the main roads through Naha (though not too noisy). It was abut 15 minute walking to the restaurants and shopping of the International Street, and about 20 minutes to the Prefectural Office for buses to other parts of the Island. The room itself is quite small but was pleased to see a desk was included (no wardrobe however). I think in Japanese hotels you should anticipate small rooms and I still found there was enough space to be comfortable. The bathroom again was small but good and well cleaned. I am very tall (198cm) and found the room, bed and bathroom all able to accommodate my height fine.

It was a great and pleasant stay! The staff of the hotel is very friendly and very attentive. The room is not big but suffice for a couple. Clean room. Great value for money. I would stay here again and again if I were to visit Okinawa. Train station and private hotel car park at doorstep makes it very convenient. 20 to 30 steps from train station or private hotel car park to the lift of the hotel! That is how close it is. 500 yen for one day parking (that is a steal considering parking at close by Kokusai-dori parking is 200 yen per 15 mins!). One train station away west from Kokusai-dori and it is also within walking distance. Also one station away east from DFS and main place shopping complex with nearby Toy'rus and best denki. Good for shopping. Best of all is the branded outlet shooping at Akibinaa near Naha airport. Must drive there though.

It is a good hotel for spending our holidays there. This hotel provide a outdoor swimming pool mainly for children, it is large enough and beautiful. The indoor swimming pool and the onsen need to be paid. We live in the main building superior room with balcony, the bay view and swimming pool view is nice. The room size is large as compared with other hotel in Okinawa. The price for this hotel with swimming pool is fair enough. But no Wifi in room.

I stayed in this hotel for 3 days. When I first arrived the hotel, I was so surprised by valet parking. As the previous stay in other hotel in Okinawa doesn't have this service. During check in, staff was very friendly. They even served drink during the process. Security was very well done, we have to take a lift the 14th floor, the lobby. After check in, we have to take another lift with our room key card that allow access to each floor. The rooms are very clean and big. Bed is super comfy :) However, there were construction nearby, sound-proofing not that good. Overall, I did enjoy my stay and definitely will book again

Loved my stay at this hotel!!! Nice, clean, comfortable, quiet, good facilities...that almost everything I need is in place and offered in a right way. I am quite a hard-to-pleased traveler when comes to hotel.Unfortunately, I have to be a frequent business traveler with a limited budget from my own little business.I guess I have no problem either to recommend to anyone whom comes to Okinawa for travel or to be a return guest to this hotel. If there is anything that I wish to be better, then I guess I would wish it to be bigger. Is that too much to ask in anywhere in Japan? I guess so, because everything comes in a small size way. So, it is truly the best you can wish with how much you had paid.

Hotel is located about 30 mins drive away from Naha city during non peak hours. Location is central enough to utilise as a base for exploring both the north (up to Churaumi Aquarium) and south (up to Gyokusendo Cave) of Okinawa main island. The room was clean, comfortable, spacious and even had a kitchenette. We love the ocean view from both the bathroom and balcony. The surroundings are quiet. The service is excellent. The staff were always smiling and ever ready to help. The hotel surprised us with a complimentary plate of fresh sweet fruits in our room one day with a personalised little card. It was very sweet of them. Will definitely return to stay and recommend to anyone I know visiting Okinawa.

We stayed here on our first and final night of our trip to Okinawa, compared to other hotels we stayed during our stay this hotel is the most excellent value for money. Very clean, modern room with nice interior deign, high speed wifi in the room, well equipped bathroom, comfortable bed and staff are all very attentive and friendly. Excellent hotel location only 3 min walks to the monorail station with many nice restaurants nearby. We will definitely come back again on our next visit to Okinawa and will recommend this hotel to all our friends and family.

The rooms were extremely well thought out and despite being small, felt very comfortable and cosy to stay in. The beds were excellent, and we really loved the public bath upstairs, which was a godsend after a day of walking. They have a lounge where you can get coffee and soft drinks, as well as provide umbrellas to borrow if it's raining that day. Although they have limited parking, they will immediately direct you to another parking building opposite if the hotel one is full. This is a tiny bit cheaper than the hotel parking, but is still secure. Don't worry about not having parking if you're renting a car (which you should to get around the best sites in Okinawa). Excellent service, excellent place to stay and I'm surprised it's only rated as 3 stars. With the amenities, I would have expected this to be rated 4 stars. I would not hesitate to stay at Almont Hotel again, in Okinawa or one of their other hotels around Japan.

It's a very nice hotel. The Room is clean, very comfortable, nice location for drivers. You can have a beautiful night view of Okinawa but a car is a must. They upgraded our room for our celebration which is very nice. We will definitely go again. Highly recommend for self-driving tours. This hotel is easily full because of tours, I booked the room two months before I arrive.

In my opinion, this condominium is located in the best place in Okinawa. There are many shopping shops and grate restaurants within a 3 minute walking distance. Also, petty beach in front of this condo is very clean. Plus, the sunset at this beach is very wonderful. Since the room is very big, three people can be stay in one room. (In one room, there are two single bed and one sofa bed.) Microwave and electric stove are installed. So, you can cook the food in the room if you borrow cookware from the lobby. However, building is under construction right next to the condo. So, you can see construction equipment that blocks some noise and landscapes during the day. Considering the construction status, it is expected to be completed before next spring. Anyway, I would like to stay here again if I come back to Okinawa. Staying at this accommodation at this price is really fantastic.

The location is great, just minutes walk from the international street, Kokusai Dori. You can find souvenir shops, local restaurants with Okinawa cuisine. It is a long street end to end. It is very near to the airport, just 15 mins by monorail. The hotel has 2 car rental companies along the back, Sky car rental - which is very expensive and they do not have english GPS nor english speaking staff, and Mazda Car Rental. Mazda does not have english GPS as well, but their prices are much more reasonable. In the end I asked at the hotel concierge and with their help managed to secure a car for 2 days from OTS (which is a very big company) for a very good decent price with English GPS. It was a breeze driving around, just have to input the phone number of the place you are heading to!! OTS have a big site just off the airport and they run a shuttle to get you to the airport every 10 mins, therefore best to return to their airport site. Breakfast at Nahana is cheapest in town at Yen 1000 with a coupon from the front desk, ask when you check in. The spread is very good and adequate, didnt have to wait long for top ups and the omelette chef is very good. I drove from Naha to Sun Marina and stopped along Yomitan which is famous for their pottery and kilns. Had a good time there, especially with small kids and need a stop in between for lunch and a bit of walking around. If you are heading to Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, best to purchase individual or family tickets from OTS or Lawson / Family Mart, it is at a discount vs if you were to purchase them at the counter at the aquarium. Will save you a tidy sum! Best to rent a car and will need an international driving license plus your home country driving license. Getting around in Okinawa is a challenge without a rental car and taxis are very few and expensive outside of Naha. The Aquarium is 60 km from Naha and there is no direct bus, you will have to change bus at Nago, which is a hassle esp if you have kids i

This is my first experience to stay in a capsule style hotel like this, and this impressed me very much in a positive way. Although I was assigned on an upper bed. The staffs at the front desk are nice and helpful, there is a free welcome ice-stick that you can get at the counter as well as slipper etc. The room is super quiet and clean with a mini fridge and shoe shelves. There is a nice common room with long work table, pantry bar and smoking room beside. It looks cool. In the washroom there is toilet, washing counter, make up desk and access to the shower room- shower gel, shampoo and conditioner is included. Clean and proper. Although quite some people staying, I don't feel too crowded, this is a very comfortable stay. Also it's just right besides the pier, harbour walkway and hilton hotel. The American village is just walkable!!! Alot of lovely souvenir stores and restaurants there, also a museum and beach on the other side. I shall have booked at least one more night here!! I would definitely come again if there is chance I visit Okinawa in future.
