DoubleTree by Hilton Okinawa Chatan Resort

American Village Within Walking Distance - An Oceanfront Resort in Chatan

DoubleTree by Hilton Okinawa Chatan Resort is a Hilton-family resort hotel on the oceanfront in Mihama, Chatan, in central Okinawa's main island. It's about a 40-minute drive from Naha Airport, and the location is convenient for sightseeing too, with the popular American Village and Sunset Beach about 5 to 7 minutes on foot. Guests aged 18 and under stay free when co-sleeping, and the hotel offers plenty of services that families especially appreciate. It holds a very high 5.00 rating (63 reviews) on Rakuten Travel.

Some of Okinawa's Largest Pools, Including Areas for Kids

The hotel's biggest draw is its pools. Wrapped in tropical sea breezes and greenery, the Lagoon Pool is one of the largest in Okinawa at 567 square meters, with a depth of 0-1 m; the ramped, 1 m-deep area lets small children play safely. There are also two water slides enjoyable for kids and adults alike, and the slide entrance doubles as a lookout point with a view over the west coast sea. The outdoor pool operates seasonally (April to October), but the 17-meter indoor heated pool can be used year-round, and hotel guests can also use the several pools at the adjacent Hilton Okinawa Chatan Resort free of charge.

Thoughtful Touches for Families with Small Children

In addition to children's amenities such as pajamas and toothbrushes, the hotel offers free rental of a crib (age 1 and under) and a stroller (1 month to 4 years); advance notice is required for both. That makes it easier to travel light even on a trip with a baby, when luggage tends to pile up. Food allergies can also be accommodated with advance notice, depending on the allergy.

Rooms and Dining

Room types include ocean-view rooms with a private balcony or terrace, and top-floor suites. Bath and toilet are separate (there is no communal bath). At the Matiira restaurant, you can enjoy the breakfast buffet with an ocean view, and 43 West Rooftop Bar lets you take in Okinawa's nature, from dusk through the starry sky.
