RIHGA Royal Resort Okinawa Chatan

De hotelkamers zijn behoorlijk groot, zeer schoon en elke kamer heeft een wasmachine, wat erg handig is. De kamers zijn voorzien van een kleine keuken waar je kunt koken, maar het kookgerei moet bij de receptie worden geleend. Het hotel ligt in de buurt van American Village, met veel restaurants om uit te kiezen en een supermarkt op loopafstand. Er is gratis parkeergelegenheid in een mechanische parkeertoren. Het ontbijt is gemiddeld, niet veel keuze, maar acceptabel en smaakvol. Het overloopzwembad is erg mooi, maar niet groot, en het zwembad is erg schoon.

TWe stayed for one night beforehand on a separate booking in a different room type, as we needed to fly in earlier due to a typhoon approaching. Since we had to change room types for our main booking the following day, the staff were very accommodating and kindly arranged for us to check in at 13:00 instead of the usual 15:00, which made the situation much easier for us. The room was clean and tidy, and very well equipped with everything we needed, including a washer and dryer with detergent provided, a fridge and freezer, microwave, kettle, and Nespresso coffee machine. Unfortunately, we were unable to use the pool or onsen during our stay due to the typhoon, but overall we had a very comfortable stay and really appreciated the helpfulness and flexibility of the staff.

Unobstructed view of chatan, perfect place to watch weekend firework. Excellent public bath. Very comfortable bed as well

INice views, I can watch the fireworks at the balcony. Enjoy the stays in the hotel. The breakfast is good. I will come again when I visit next time

Second time staying in this hotel. This hotel is very new. Rooms are big and beds are comfortable. Great location in Chatan. Next to American village and Aeon shopping mall.

superb view of fireworks and american village. just beside the american village. The room is very big and pretty. only issue i have is i dont know why no plate or utensils is provided. There is an induction cooker but there is no way to cook since there is no pot and pans. Aeon Supermarket is 5 mins walk away.

This is a great option if you want to stay right in the heart of American Village. The hotel is brand new, which really shows in the condition of the rooms and facilities. The amenities were excellent - having a washer/dryer with 2 complimentary detergent packets daily was incredibly convenient, especially for a longer stay. The in-room fridge and microwave also made it easy to prepare simple meals instead of eating out all the time. The room itself felt more like an apartment, with a spacious living area, a balcony, and an amazing view overlooking American Village. Location-wise, it’s perfect if your main focus is exploring American Village. However, beyond that, the area gets pretty quiet late at night once most of the village closes. In hindsight, I probably would have stayed further north as a base for visiting Okinawa’s northern attractions. Unfortunately, the service experience was disappointing, especially after hours. During check-in, security refused to let me temporarily park in the open spaces while unloading luggage, claiming it would encourage everyone else to demand parking there. Considering the inconvenience of retrieving the car from the automated lift parking just to unload bags, the response felt unreasonable, so I ended up parking curbside instead. Things got worse later that night when I accidentally left my key card in the room. I buzzed reception for assistance, but the staff member simply kept gesturing for me to tap my card to enter and refused to come help open the door despite me clearly explaining the situation. There was also no security staff present at the parking area to operate the automated parking lift when I returned, so I parked in the surface lot instead - only to be scolded by security the next morning during check-out. Overall, the hotel itself and the facilities are excellent, but the inconsistent and unhelpful service significantly affected the experience.
