Hilton Okinawa Chatan Resort

Five Pools You Can Use With a Swim Diaper

Hilton Okinawa Chatan Resort is a resort hotel in Chatan, next to Mihama American Village. From a family's perspective, the biggest point is that **the hotel's own FAQ plainly confirms that both the outdoor and indoor pools can be used with a swim diaper**. The pool rules also state that guests who need diapers should wear a swim diaper under their swimsuit, and swim diaper pants (2-pack, size M or L) are sold for JPY 500.

Between the 3 pools at Hilton Okinawa Chatan Resort itself (the lagoon pool, cascade pool, and indoor pool) and the 2 outdoor pools at the adjoining DoubleTree by Hilton Okinawa Chatan Resort, **5 indoor and outdoor pools can be used free of charge** in total. The central lagoon pool has shallow areas by age (a kids' pool and a baby pool).

• **Lagoon Pool** (outdoor, 1st floor): The largest in the prefecture at 567 square meters, 0-1 m deep. It has a 1 m-deep sloped area and 2 slides that both children and adults can enjoy. The following 2 shallow areas are also within this pool zone:
• **Kids' Pool** (0-40 cm deep): Has a small slide, so even children who can't swim can enjoy the thrill of the slide.
• **Baby Pool** (10 cm deep, next to the lagoon pool): Shallow enough to suit an infant's first time in a pool.
• **Cascade Pool** (outdoor, 1.2 m deep)
• **Indoor Pool / Sauna** (1.2 m deep, connected directly to the changing room): Open year-round, so you can play regardless of weather or season.
• **2 outdoor pools at the adjoining DoubleTree** (about 1 minute on foot): Includes a water slide that runs down from an ocean-view platform.

The outdoor pools are open from March 20, 2026 to November 30, 2026 (hours vary by season), and closed from December 1 through mid-March 2027. The indoor pool is open year-round. **Guardians must accompany children under 16 when they enter the water**, and children under 120 cm tall cannot use the largest slide alone. Free rentals include towels, swim rings, swim caps, kickboards, and arm floats, and each outdoor pool has an air pump. Food and drink may not be brought into the outdoor pool areas.

There is no communal bath or onsen in the hotel; the indoor pool has an attached sauna. Every guest room's bathroom has both a bathtub and a separate washing area.

A Wide Range of Free Amenity Rentals

Specific details are given for the free amenity rentals for children.

Baby Food Service, Reheating, and Bottle Sterilization

You can **order baby food** at the restaurant. It consists of rice porridge, two kinds of vegetables (diced or pureed), and flaked fish. It's free when dining at the buffet restaurant Suriyun, JPY 600 when ordering a la carte, free at the Executive Lounge during breakfast (JPY 600 at other times), and JPY 600 via room service. You'll need to tell staff in advance your child's age in months, their stage of weaning (early to late), and whether they have any allergies.

The hotel also offers to **reheat baby food you bring yourself** and to **sterilize baby bottles** (just ask at the restaurant or front desk). The restaurant provides **high chairs, sharing plates, bowls, cups, and cutlery**. Menus accommodating food allergies can be prepared if you inquire in advance.

Note that **there is no restaurant with private rooms**.

Daily Kids Activities

Hands-on kids activities such as treasure hunts and shisa painting are held **every day**, and almost all of them are free to join, with a few exceptions. Shisa painting is available year-round and lets kids make their own original shisa while getting a taste of Okinawan culture. The hotel does not have a shared playroom or a babysitting / childcare service.

Rooms and Family-Friendly Touches

Rooms recommended for families include the 1st-floor "Twin Room with Garden," which has a private garden connecting directly to the lagoon pool, and the "Executive Ocean View Room with Balcony" on the top floor, which comes with free access to the Executive Lounge.

Both are useful if you're sharing a bed with a child who tends to move around a lot while sleeping. All rooms are non-smoking.
