A unique accommodation with rich breakfast and new facilities/Recommended for self-driving tourists/REF Okinawa Arena by Vessel Hotels
The location is not very convenient for transportation. It is next to the highway. There is a stop for the Okinawa Circular Bus at the door, but there is only one bus every hour. It is much more convenient for self-driving people. There is a free parking lot and no special control for entry and exit.
The location is OK. It takes about 10 minutes to drive to American Village or MALL.
We checked in on Wednesday. The accommodation conditions were much better than expected. It seems to be very popular with tourists.
The room layout is not bad. The room with tatami is very easy to move around. The bathroom facilities are also very clean, and the texture is reflected everywhere. However, if the luggage is directly opened and placed, the space is not very good. It may be placed in the closet, which will be much more convenient to move around.
The counter staff is very friendly and helped solve the problem of failed member password update. Thank you very much.
The main facilities are on the second and eighth floors. There is a large bath on the second floor, a public rest space, and a lounge room that is only open until 9:00 pm. The air-conditioning temperature in the public space is not very cool, and even the elevator is cooler than the corridor.
There are five washing machines on the second floor, two of which are drum-type washing, drying and drying machines, and three dryers. Ice makers and microwave ovens are also here, and disposable chopsticks are provided.
The public areas on the 1st, 2nd and 8th floors in the elevator do not require elevator card induction, and the other guest room floors require induction to reach. The top floor is a landscape swimming pool.
But I have to say that the breakfast here is really worth recommending, with unlimited supply of aged steak, mellow Ryukyu Awamori, and Okinawa local food taco rice and Blue Seal ice cream. In the early morning, you will be led to travel around Okinawa with food, and you will be full of energy before going out.
Overall, the stay experience is satisfactory, but the accommodation price fluctuates greatly, and it can be considered when the discount is better.
