RECU Okinawa Chatan Spa & Resort” Resort hotel in American Village
It takes about 40 minutes from Naha Airport by car, or about 1 hour by airport limousine bus or airport shuttle bus. For buses, take Ryukyu Bus No. 120 and get off at “Kuwae”. Go back a little from the direction of travel and turn the corner of “Steak House Shiki” to go toward American Village.
The resort hotel “RECU Okinawa Chatan Spa & Resort” is located in the American Village in Chatan Town. From the rooftop pool on the top floor of the hotel, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the American Village townscape and the sea of Chatan.
The view of the American Village, with its exotic townscape, can be seen from the guest rooms, making you feel like you are in a foreign country even though you are in Japan.
However, not all rooms, including those in the Premier building, have a night view of the glittering American Village, so if you want a room with a beautiful night view, you should request one in advance!
Point 1: American Village is right in front of “RECU Okinawa Chatan Spa & Resort
RECU Okinawa Chatan Spa & Resort is a resort hotel located in the American Village in Mihama, Chatan Town, about 40 minutes from Naha Airport.
The hotel is located on “Depot Island,” an American Village built on a former U.S. military base and lined with buildings and designs reminiscent of Hawaii.
The surrounding area is lined with cafes, restaurants, and other international eateries, as well as souvenir stores and shopping malls, so there is a wide variety of places to have dinner. While you cannot have dinner in the hotel, you can get a discount at nearby restaurants by showing your hotel guest card.
The hotel is located in Chatan-cho, in the central part of the main island of Okinawa, so it is easy to go sightseeing in the northern and southern parts of the island, such as the Churaumi Aquarium and Shurijo Castle, which takes a long time from Naha.
Point 2: “RECOO Okinawa Chatan Spa & Resort” premium wing with higher grade services
RECU Okinawa Chatan Spa & Resort has a main building featuring light-colored, skin-friendly guest rooms and a premium building offering a higher level of service.
All hotel rooms have a balcony from which you can view the American Village and the ocean of Chatan.
The Premium Wing includes rooms with private pools and lofts, and all rooms have baths that draw in natural hot spring water (Chatan Onsen). Having a hot spring bath in your room gives you the peace of mind of knowing that it is always available!
Also, the amenities, such as toothbrushes, are so stylish that it is a shame to use them. You get the sense that they pay attention to every detail of the room to make sure their guests are comfortable.
The only drawback is that the hot springs and breakfast room are located in the “main building,” and the buildings are not connected. Umbrellas are necessary on rainy days, but they are properly provided at the entrance.
Point 3: “RECU Okinawa Chatan Spa & Resort” outdoor pool with sunset and night views
The pool at RECU Okinawa Chatan Spa & Resort is located on the top floor and offers a view of the American Village and the sea of Chatan.
From the pool, you can enjoy the sunset over the sea of Chatan and the beautiful night view of American Village. On a clear day, the blue sky and blue ocean can be seen below.
The pool has a children’s pool, jacuzzi, and rock bath, where both children and adults can spend a comfortable time.
The attached café and bar offer drinks and food. It feels very romantic to have a drink while looking at the illuminated pool!
