Ξενοδοχεία με Gym σε Okinawa Prefecture, Japan

I booked two separate reservations for a two-day stay! Please refer to my previous review for more details.😅 This hotel is a bit of a distance from the station, so it's best to have a car! Okinawa's weather is unpredictable; it's great for walking around when it's nice, but very inconvenient if it's raining or windy!

Taking bus TK05 from Naha Airport, it took about an hour to get directly to the Rihga Royal Resort Okinawa Chatan in American Village. There's an AEON, a large GIGO claw machine arcade, ramen shops (like Chifaymaru), Red Lobster, Family Mart, Lawson, Gyu-Kaku, On-Yasai, and more nearby. There's also a beautiful beach 🏖️, and cycling around the island was amazing! The hotel rooms come with cooking facilities (you need to ask the front desk for cooking utensils and tableware), a washing machine (with individual laundry detergent packets provided), slippers, toiletries, and even sauna equipment in the room (with instructions on how to use it). In a word, it's fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!

The location is super convenient, right off the highway, and there's a convenience store nearby. It was a nice touch that the front desk staff spoke Cantonese.

Okinawa is truly a fantastic travel destination, and this hotel's location is excellent. It's within walking distance of Kokusai Dori (International Street), and you can continue walking from there to Naminoue Shrine and the sunset beach. The highlight of this hotel is definitely the breakfast – it's incredibly rich and diverse! They have freshly grilled burgers, various Japanese dishes, and even a make-your-own noodle station which was delicious. My room on a lower floor didn't have a window, which felt a bit confining, but my room on the sixth floor had an open and spacious view. There's a large banyan tree with a historic feel right outside the entrance. You can also find some really good omurice and izakayas in the surrounding area.

Could check in really quickly without waiting in line so that was great. There were not that many washing machines, and it was difficult to use them because other guests would not come and collect their own laundry even after the machine had finished running. There was a sign saying that the neglected laundry would be collected after 10 minutes, but there weren't any staff keeping an eye on this anyway, so the warning sign wasn't helpful. Staff also seemed reluctant to provide more tea in the room even though they only have two tea bags every other day for a week-long stay. Even when asked, they would only initially offer one tea bag without asking if more were needed.

Good hotel overall and clearly very new, but not quite at a 5-star level yet. The rooms and facilities are modern and well maintained, but there are some noticeable gaps — no room service and no bar by the pool, which feels like a miss for a resort of this category. At check-in, I had to wait until around 15:30, which suggests the hotel may be understaffed. The beach/sea is just okay, nothing special. On the positive side, the promotional video is excellent and sets high expectations. 全体的に良いホテルで、施設も新しく綺麗ですが、現時点では5つ星ホテルとしては少し物足りない印象です。客室や設備はモダンで快適ですが、ルームサービスがない点やプールサイドにバーがない点は、リゾートホテルとしてはやや残念に感じました。 また、人手不足なのか、チェックイン時に15時半頃まで待たされました。 ビーチや海は可もなく不可もなく、特別良いとは言えません。 一方で、プロモーション動画は非常によくできており、期待感を高めてくれます。

I only took family photos, so I don't have any photos of the hotel itself, but I'll try to break down the pros and cons in as much detail as possible. The pros are: It's close to the airport and on the outskirts, so it's quiet. Personally, what I liked most was that the guests were mostly Japanese families, without any crowds. They were polite and respectful, and the atmosphere was great, allowing for a comfortable stay. The hot springs and sauna are open from morning until late. There's a souvenir shop and convenience store on the first floor, which was convenient. Breakfast offers a variety of Japanese and Western dishes, but the menu is the same for all three days, so keep that in mind if you're planning on having breakfast back-to-back. The cons are: Because it's an older hotel, the facilities are old and don't feel very clean. The carpets in the guest rooms, especially the ones connected to the hallways, are obviously dirty. You have to wear shoes or slippers anywhere except on the bed, which was inconvenient. There seem to be rooms without carpet, but you'll have to look into it based on your personal preferences. The most inconvenient part of the experience was the walkway. The walkway between the main building and the annex is long, and the elevators have different floor numbers, which can be confusing (in the main building, you press the 2nd floor button, and in the annex, you press the 3rd floor button). The annex also has elevators at both ends, one for floors 1-6, the other for floors 2-12. For example, if you're in a room on the 11th floor and want to get to the first floor, you have to take the elevator on the left to the 3rd floor, then the elevator at the opposite end, and then go back to the first floor. LOL The microwave is only on the first floor, and I had a really hard time using it once. I was a bit confused as to why they made it this way. And parking is 1,800 yen per day. There's also a private parking lot right in front for 700 yen. You can just park in the annex if there's an empty space... Instead, if you park in the paid mechanical parking lot, they'll check your ticket when you enter and exit, and it takes a long time. Absolutely don't do it.

This hotel is not new but is well maintained in my opinion, we had a comfortable 5 nights stay. Located at a quiet corner in Naha city, Naha port with unblock port view. Pleasant experience with the reception though require a little guessing work when the carpark uncle tries to redirect us to the alternate open air hotel carpark, we managed with the given map, a short walk away. Basement parking at the hotel building has very limited lots, often full after sunset. Ice making machine available on our level lobby and notice microwave too at other floor. A short drive from the airport. A bakery, 7-11 and souvenir shop on ground level, complimentary hot spring bath, coin laundry... There is also a supermarket less than 5 minute walk away.

The island is so quaint. Hotel has a retro vibe to it. It is so close to the airport runway that they double layered the balcony door so we can't really hear planes taking off. Unit was very spacious with separate shower and toilet areas. Fridge, microwave and a toaster provided. For breakfast, they say they are eco friendly so you have to use the basket provided in each roo, go down to ground floor and pick up the prepacked breakfast. You can decide to eat there, or go up to your room, or if weather permits, at the rooftop lounge.

Very good location located in a hilly area. Although the interior of the hotel looks aged, but it is very clean. The exterior and pool of the hotel is in great condition. The facilities are quite complete, staffs were helpful. We had a good stay.
