Okinawa Hinode Resort and Hot Spring Hotel

The room is clean and tidy. Breakfast is delicious. The staff are nice and helpful. Though the outdoor swimming pool is quite small and parking fee is quite expensive. Overall, i recommend this hotel and will stay again.

Overall, I don’t think I would stay here again. Maybe it is worth to spend a night or two here. Details below: During my 6D5N trip, I have stayed in different hotels. This hotel had the most expensive parking by far. It was ¥2000 / night. Also the parking was a bit inconvenient since the parking area uses an elevator-system and you need a staff to operate the parking system machine to get your car each time you need to use your car. There were a lot of families with young children during my stay, not the best place if you’re looking for a quiet place to relax. There were also only 2 elevators so sometimes it takes a long time to wait for the elevators due to the crowd. The hotel provides a lot of amenities, including some daily activities from 17:00-18:00, noodles from 20:30-21:30, and free flow drinks from 10:00-22:00 (no free laundry tho). I got to try the traditional outfit dress up session, it was a good experience to quickly try on the Okinawan-style kimono. Just a personal preference, I did find their soaps and skin care products heavily scented, which I wasn’t a fan of.

Very clean. Free Ramen from 8:30pm onwards till soup is served finished, free beer and many kinds of drink. But hot spring is actually an open air small pool for all to use, near swimming pool and close at 10pm. Helpful staff.

Check in was easy and fast. There is a small swimming pool for kids. Room was abit small. The location is 3min walk Away from 1 end of the main shopping street. There a drinks corner on 2nd floor but during evening , it was madness crowded. very hard to get a table even. People hog the tables despite finishing. Also outrageous was this hotel have no bin. Wanted to throw something away, was told to bring it to 2nd floor. Very bad attitude from front desk.

Amazing stay at the Hinode hotel — the highlight was certainly the free food bar provided by the hotel where you’ll get a wide assortment of booze, free ice cream and ramen (specific hours). The room is somewhat small and the hotel can get pretty crowded but it’s an overall pleasant stay :)

After my 5 night stay here, fully understand why this hotel earning such high scoring. Great !
