I just returned from Okinawa on 8 days 7 nights trip. After collecting my rental car at Naha Airport, my family spent 3 nights at Churaumi Village (2nd type) which is newer and about 700 m from the 1st Churaumi Village. We find the stay very enjoyable as it has a well-equipped kitchen and bath area - washing machine, cooking utensils, oven, microwave, dish warmer, rice cooker, kettle etc. The lower floor has toilet, bathing room, living room and kitchen. You can hang your clothes using the hanging liners provided at the balcony (2nd floor) or go to the office to use the dryer which charge 200 yen per wash. And the upper level is 2 rooms - one room consists of 2 beddings and the other is tatami room with futons. Outside the house is a small porch which you can have BBQ (which you can order from office). This place is ideal for those who drive as it is not so accessible by public transport, you can simply park your car in front of your apartment. The reason we stayed here is its proximity to many of the places we planned to go - Chuaraumi Aquarium & Ocean Expo Park (5 min drive); Nakijin Castle Ruins (15 min drive), and used it as a stop to arrange tour to places in the north - Kouri Island, Cape Hedo, Nakijin castle ruins etc. The service was excellent. When we checked in, we were led to the unit, briefed on the different amenities and usage. They even provide an information booklet which includes nearby restaurants and supermarkets. When we returned on the second night, it was heartwarming to note that the staff helped to switch on heater so that our washed clothes can dry faster. The apartment is clean but do note that they provided exact number of toothbrush, towels and slippers. But if you are short of anything, you may proceed to ask from the office (less than 50 m away). However, the staff do not clean your room but only take the towels to wash. However there is a vacuum cleaner which you can use to clean the floors. There is a washing point near the door so you can wash off sand after a visit to the beach. I even borrowed a pail to wash my car as it got really dirty. I must mentioned that there is a nearby Lawson and Family Mart (need abt 5 min drive). We patronised these 2 places every night to get our breakfast, drinks and snacks. Overall, my family enjoyed the stay very much. Given the location, service and very reasonable prices, I would strongly recommend this place for those who self drive.
