Compare 4 airports near Chatan
For most travelers, Naha International Airport (OKA) is the only practical gateway, as it is the primary international and domestic hub on Okinawa Island. While not located in Chatan itself, it serves the surrounding region and offers the most reliable transport links. The other airports, Yoron Airport (RNJ), Kumejima Airport (UEO), and Okinoerabu Airport (OKE), are located in completely different municipalities and remote islands. These airports do not serve Chatan directly; travel from them requires a multi-leg journey involving local island ground transport and ferries to reach the main Okinawa Island, making them impractical for standard travel unless you are island-hopping. Travelers should prioritize arriving at Naha International Airport (OKA) to access efficient bus, taxi, and car rental services. Always check ferry schedules if your itinerary includes the remote island options, but for direct access to Chatan, Naha is the essential choice.

Had a fantastic experience, this is my second time staying at this hotel. This visit, the front desk was incredibly nice and upgraded us to a sea view room for free! It was so quiet! There's a swimming pool on the top floor (paid access), and the breakfast was delicious too! The hotel is also just a 5-minute walk to the beach. Highly recommend it!FromUS$173

Our stay in Okinawa was incredibly comfortable and enjoyable. The hotel's location is superb, right by the shopping district and the beach, making it super convenient for dining, entertainment, and everything else. Although the room wasn't huge, it was cozy and impeccably clean. The separate shower and toilet were a really practical touch. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, always ready to help, and even went out of their way to recommend local eateries and sightseeing routes. Overall, it offered great value for money and perfectly suited our vacation needs. I'd definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit!FromUS$251

The hotel facilities were just okay, and the bedding in our room felt a bit like a dorm. The breakfast had a good variety, but they were slow to restock. When we went, the buffet was almost empty, and no one was refilling anything. However, the front desk staff was great! I bought a watermelon but didn't have a knife, and they helped me cut it and sent it to my room.FromUS$18

The facilities are quite old overall; the faucets and air conditioning units are dated. However, it's generally clean and hygienic. There's also a paid hot spring across the street. The breakfast selection is extensive, with options for children and baby food, making it very suitable for families with kids.
For services, there's a clown show and a children's sand painting activity in the evening, along with late-night ramen.
As for the location, our room had a beautiful view of the evening fireworks. A taxi to the airport costs between 170-200 RMB, and there's also an airport shuttle available for booking via QR code at the front desk. The beach is just a two-minute walk away.FromUS$166

The room was tiny, the bathroom was small, and even the bed was small... It's ridiculous that their own facilities weren't open. We had to go to the Hilton next door just to swim or have dinner.FromUS$188

I think it's the best if you stay with a large number of people. There are two sets of baths and toilets, so even a large number of people can stay comfortably. There was a mistake between the owner and the site side, but it was very good to be prepared immediately.FromUS$145

The location is very good, the room facilities are complete and clean, there are everything to buy and play around, it is very convenient to live for 6 days, in fact, the hotel has this room, that is, we live by ourselves, all aspects are very satisfied. What I hope to improve is: the first time I booked through Ctrip, I didn’t receive the confirmation email from the hotel. I didn’t know the check-in password, wifi password, parking location and other Guanjian information. After arriving at the hotel that night, I was a little twisted and I also played a few international long-distance calls. The staff arranged for the Chinese waiter to call me back. Although it was fast, if there was a confirmation email, everyone would save a lot of trouble. The second hotel name and address did not match Google Maps. Before booking, all kinds of searches were confirmed. I hope to correct and update it. The parking location and hotel logo are shown in the picture, hoping to help others.FromUS$168

Facilities: The hotel offers coin-operated washing machines (300 JPY per wash), but thankfully, the dryer is free. Perhaps due to its seaside location, the hotel corridors and room corridors are just bare concrete, with no decoration.
Cleanliness: The room has a wet/dry separation, and the shower area is great – spacious with a unique showerhead.
Environment: It's very close to the sea, so you can go for a swim anytime. It's also near American Village, making it convenient for both dining and beach activities.
Service: At check-in, the front desk informed us that housekeeping is only provided for guests staying 3 nights or more consecutively. They also don't change trash bags during your stay unless you specifically ask for them. For example, I had to ask the front desk for three bottles of mineral water on my second day. Overall, the service wasn't overly enthusiastic, but it wasn't bad either.
Summary: The price isn't particularly cheap, but I was quite satisfied with the three beds, which were large enough for us with kids, ensuring a good night's sleep. However, the room lighting is a bit dim at night. Four stars for the sea view.FromUS$193

The self check-in had a Chinese interface, but I still found it a bit confusing. After getting the password, the door wouldn't open when I entered it. I later realized I might not have been strong enough. Parking is first-come, first-served! Once you get your room number and password, you'll also receive the range of available parking spots.
The room was super spacious, with one room having two queen-sized beds, and the living room having two queen-sized beds plus a tatami area. In total, there were two and a half bathrooms, which was more than enough for our family of six. There's also a washing machine and dryer. The area has convenient amenities nearby, and it's close to American Village.
The balcony was also very large!FromUS$206

An absolutely amazing new hotel!
The location is fantastic. Even without a car, you can take the airport bus, and in about 50 minutes, you'll reach American Village. From the bus stop, it's just a 5-minute walk.
The surrounding area is incredibly convenient, with Aeon Mall, famous sushi restaurants, ramen shops, 100-yen stores, Starbucks, and Okinawan cuisine all nearby. The hotel's location is also beautiful and easily visible.
I've stayed in hotels in Naha city before and really liked them, but this new opening in American Village has completely won us over. The rooms are incredibly spacious and grand, featuring a washer/dryer combo, a kitchen, a large refrigerator, a microwave, plus a big living room and a balcony.
The front desk staff and cleaning crew are all very friendly and professional. If you're planning to visit the central part of Okinawa, you absolutely must come here to experience this unique apartment-style hotel.
Spread your luggage out however you like; the space is so free and comfortable.
