Central Okinawa Hotels with Shuttle Services

"American Village was the best place to stay in Okinawa!. There were so many places to go to for dining and shopping! Vessel Hotel was beautiful, convenient and clean! We loved the swimming pool and the other facilities. The staff was friendly and some of them spoke English. We would definitely stay here again if we came back to Okinawa!"

"Very clam"

"Absolutely perfect stay! The food, the facilities and the room was amazing!"

"The people at the front desk did an excellent job, checking us in. They were very friendly, professional, and we’re very helpful in terms of helping us with the shuttles to and from the airport."

"I really enjoyed my stay here. I appreciated having a great breakfast available every morning. Being on the 9th floor gave me a terrific sunrise view. "

"Hotel Nikko Alivila – 5 Stars Hotel Nikko Alivila is a fantastic resort in a prime location, situated mid-island in Okinawa. It offers the perfect balance—easy access to the quieter, scenic northern areas, yet still close enough to Naha for cultural sites like the Okinawa Peace Memorial Museum and some downtown excitement. The hotel itself is packed with amenities and activities. There’s a stunning white sand beach with crystal-clear water, paddleboarding, Sea-Doo rentals, and even tubing behind boats. The pool is spotless, and the tiki bar serves great cocktails in a laid-back setting. We stayed on the top floor of the North Wing, and the sunset views over the chapel were absolutely breathtaking—don’t miss it if you can book this room! Dining is excellent. We tried the Ryukyu/Japanese restaurant on-site, and the food was both authentic and delicious. Just next door, there’s a shopping center with a cozy coffee bar (surprisingly playing country western music!) and some great casual eats like burgers, burritos, and sandwiches. The staff were phenomenal—genuinely attentive, friendly, and abundant. You feel very well taken care of from the moment you arrive. One tip: rent a car. There’s no public transit nearby, and taxis or Ubers would add up quickly. I was a bit nervous about driving on the left side, but it was easy to get used to—and totally worth it for the flexibility. In summary, this hotel exceeded expectations. "

"It was a great experience. Close to the beach and American Village. You walk along the sea wall, watch the summer fireworks from your balcony, and enjoy their vast and diverse breakfast buffet. We enjoyed staying here and the staff was wonderful. They answered all of our questions and were so kind from our check in to our late room service deliveries to our check out."

"Very friendly staff and rooms with nice view!"

"Quite beautiful location on a great bay and beach, easy walk to snorkeling, outstanding food in the restaurants on site. Great shopping on site at the same cost as anywhere on the island. Zukeyama was a short 15 minute walk to the south of this resort which was an absolute delightful Japanese restaurant operated by husband and wife, best sashimi I’ve eaten in many years."
