The hype
Families and groups love the value of the free amenities, but solo travelers often find it too noisy and crowded.
Okinawa Hinode Resort & Hot Spring Hotel
$120-180/ noche
Reserva esto si You want a high-energy Naha base where the free-flowing Orion beer and nightly ramen make up for the compact rooms.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Unlimited free alcohol (Orion beer, highballs, awamori) from 10am to 10pm
- Free nightly ramen station and all-you-can-eat ice cream
- One-minute walk to Makishi Station and three minutes to Kokusai-dori
Resumen rápido: It’s less a 'resort' and more a very generous city hotel that bribes you with free booze to overlook the thin walls.
Reseñado por @Solotraveler: I was blown away by the free-flow drink station here! Unlimited Orion beer, dozens of local Awamori to try, and even ice cream. It made my evenings in Naha so much fun and saved me a ton of money on drinks.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
The 'Universal Room' is the only accessible option, and triple rooms are just twin rooms with a cram-job extra bed.
- You measure hotel value by how many free beers you can drink
- You're traveling with kids who will go nuts for the free ice cream
- You plan to be out exploring Naha all day and just need a fun crash pad

Consejos de Insiders

The 'Universal Room' on the 3rd floor is the only one with full wheelchair accessibility.

Grab your free beer *before* the ramen rush starts at 8:30 PM to avoid the bottleneck.
