The Hilton Okinawa Chatan Resort stands in the Mihama area of Chatan Town, on the central west coast, where the coast is lined with restaurants, shops and sunset-watching spots. Unlike the quieter resorts further north, this one has a lively neighbourhood nearby, so guests can combine a resort stay with dinners, shopping and evening strolls without a long drive. The hotel is modern and sea-facing, with rooms that look across the water, a pool area, a spa and several restaurants and bars. It is a comfortable choice for couples, for families and for groups who want a mix of beach time and entertainment, and it is also a practical base for exploring the central part of the island, including Naha, Zakimi Castle and the east-coast castles. The beach area nearby draws locals and visitors at sunset, which gives the neighbourhood a friendly, social feel in the evening.
Location and getting around
Chatan is on the central west coast, roughly forty-five minutes to an hour by road from Naha Airport, depending on traffic. A rental car is the easiest way to reach the hotel and explore, though taxis and airport buses also run to the area. The American Village complex, with shops, restaurants and a seaside promenade, is within a short walk or drive, and the sunset beach area nearby is popular for evening photographs.
From here you can reach Naha in under an hour, Nakagusuku Castle in about half an hour and the Onna coast resorts in a short drive to the north.
Rooms and who it suits
The hotel offers a variety of room types with views over the East China Sea, from standard rooms to family rooms and suites. It suits couples who like to eat out and stroll in the evening, families who want a pool and a lively neighbourhood, and travellers who plan to see both the south and the north from a central base. The pool and beach facilities may be seasonal, so check what is open if you visit in cooler months, and some facilities may require a reservation.
Good to know
Breakfast is a buffet in many rate plans, and parking is available at the hotel with charges that vary. Check the hotel's policies on tattoos at pools and baths if that affects you. Chatan is busy at weekends and holiday periods, and the roads around Naha can be congested at rush hour, so allow extra time for the drive back to the airport. The area is at its best in the evening, when the sunset and the lights of American Village bring a relaxed, social mood.
