Hotels With Pools in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan

While a little dated, the hotel is quite spacious and features live band performances nightly – a definite highlight. Recommended. It also offers a convenient shuttle bus service to the beach, where you'll find a Lawson convenience store.

The environment here is surprisingly good. It's well-located, very close to the port. While it's a bit of a walk to the subway station, it's manageable. The downtown waterfront beach is right next door. As for facilities, the room isn't huge, but the bed is very large and comfortable to sleep in. The best part is the hotel has a free hot spring, which you can use daily to relieve travel fatigue. The jacuzzi is excellent, and there are two pools. Although the rooftop pool costs extra, it's definitely worth a visit.

My stay at Hotel Vessel Okinawa was fantastic! The hotel is modern, clean, and very comfortable. The breakfast offered a good variety and quality, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The location is great, close to attractions and restaurants, making it easy to explore Okinawa. The room was spacious, quiet, and well-equipped, ensuring restful nights. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, good service, and an enjoyable experience in Okinawa.

The location was decent, and the room size was acceptable. However, the smell from Jack's Steakhouse next door was quite overpowering! The area outside the hotel was littered with trash, which is very unusual for Japan. While the rooftop infinity pool offered a beautiful view, the water quality was poor. The bottom of the pool was also slippery, making it difficult to walk around. The only positive was that the hotel is quite new.

We chose this hotel for the pool and close proximity to both the monorail and the ferry ticket office. It was ideal for this reason. The pool was nice and quiet during the day. the ferry ticket office is just 1min walk away. several convenience stores close by. We went to Naminoue beach, about 25-30min walk away - we tried the bus according google maps but the bus didnt arrive as expected. For the rest, the hotel is clean and comfortable and decent size rooms. the washing machines are busy in the evening but convenient for use. The area around the hotel I wouldnt really recommend for families - its a little rundown and had a bit of a strange vibe, not as welcoming as other parts of Japan. Still clean and seems safe, but our least favourite area during our 3 week trip.

Let's start with the pros: 1. **Excellent Location:** Just a three-minute walk to Kokusai Dori, a vibrant street packed with dining, entertainment, and shopping. 2. **Breakfast:** While not fancy, the variety of dishes is quite good, and some items change daily. 3. **Complimentary Ramen:** The restaurant offers free ramen from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM, which is a really thoughtful touch. 4. **All-Day Free Drinks & Ice Cream:** After breakfast hours, they provide complimentary drinks and three flavors of ice cream all day long – a big hit with both parents and kids! 5. **Kids' Activities:** From 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM daily, there are free games, crafts, and other activities, perfect for families with children. 6. **Free Pool & Hot Spring:** You don't even need to leave the hotel to have a great time, thanks to the free swimming pool and hot spring. Now for the cons: 1. **Limited Elevators:** With only two elevators, waiting times can be quite long, especially during breakfast hours. 2. **Noisy Public Areas:** Since many families stay here with children, the public areas are constantly bustling and lively. 3. **Self-Service Dining:** After finishing your meal in the restaurant, you have to clear your own dishes and return them to a designated area, and even wipe down the table. 4. **Small Rooms:** The rooms are quite compact; it's hard to move around once you've opened two suitcases. Overall, the good far outweighs the bad. I highly recommend this hotel, especially for families with children.

Pros: We were upgraded to a family room, which was incredibly spacious and very comfortable. The small table on the tatami area was perfect for a relaxing drink. All the essential facilities were available. Apart from the bathroom feeling a bit dated, the hotel was generally good and quite clean. There's a direct bus service from the airport to the hotel; we took the Airport Bus OAS on this trip. The aquarium is relatively close. We couldn't find a taxi on the fireworks night and had to walk for 30 minutes, though it's typically just a 5-minute taxi ride. Breakfast was decent, but the selection wasn't extensive, so it might get repetitive if you're staying for many days. Cons: The pillows had a strange smell, and even after requesting several replacements, we encountered the same issue. Luckily, we had brought our own pillowcases. It seemed daily housekeeping wasn't provided by default. We returned to find our room hadn't been touched. Fortunately, we ran into a staff member and asked them to clear the trash and replenish our drinking water.

The most satisfying hotel during my Okinawa trip, got so many great photos for my life album! The breakfast buffet was also abundant, and its location is right in the heart of American Village. Highly recommend! (Though the naked hot spring bath was a bit awkward, especially for moms with 4-5 year old boys, they might feel uncomfortable going in.)

The hot spring was fantastic! It's a natural onsen, and I enjoyed it both the night before and again in the morning. The hotel facilities are a bit dated, showing their age, but it’s conveniently located with many dining options nearby. There's also a beautiful lawn by the sea. Despite being close to the airport, the soundproofing is excellent; I didn't find it noisy at all. It’s very convenient to get to Okinawa Outlet Mall, and it’s a great place for shopping. Plus, there are direct buses from the outlet to the airport, making it a perfect last stop. You can even store your luggage at the mall while you shop. I would definitely choose to stay here again next time.

We had a great stay in Hewitt Resort. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We took early return flight so that we had to check out very early. The hotel even prepared packed breakfast for us as we did not have time to have breakfast before we left the hotel. The room was clean and new and spacious. We will definitely choose Hewitt Resort when we visit Okinawa in the future. Thank you Hewitt Resort.
