Japan: Okinawa: Review of Beachside Condominium, Chatan

I like review post, especially accommodation. That's why i come back so quick this time. Haha.

We spent four nights in this island and i think it was just right, perhaps if you wanna visit some remote small islands nearby, you will need a day or two more. But for the main island, four nights are pretty enough for good visit.

Refer to the screen shot map of Okinawa below, the red circle is where the capital / city / port / shopping and airport district located, blue is US military / township - America Village, green is the natural / dive site / aquarium and yellow is forest reserve and quite town. 

I spend the first night in blue, second night in green and third and fourth night in red, we did not really go to yellow because nothing much there and long travel distant from yellow to red in the last day. 

And this post is about the accommodation in blue. The Beachside Condominium. 

There are plenty of luxury beachside resort in every districts of Okinawa and it isn't expensive compare to Tokyo. If my memory serves me right, you can get a decent resort room around RM300 including breakfast. 

But we decided to choose The Beachside Condominium, simply because i like home away from home, this is a fully furnish condominium including kitchenette, laundry, free high-speed wifi and wonderful seaview. It just cost us RM 240 per night, which i think its worth every penny we spent.

The Location:

Beachside Condominium is 18 km away from Naha Airport and 2 km away from the second happening town on the island, the American Village, fulfill my requirement of not in the noisy hub but not too far away from it.

Even if you dont rent a car, it is a walking distance to American Village. There are several restaurants along the condo street (but nothing exciting). However, you can walk further to the main road for more option.

I dont see any convenience shop nearby, but we did not really explore the area because we only stayed one night and we drove to places.

But we wish we could spend one more nights.

Purple circle is airport, red is the condo.

purple is American Village, Red is condo.

The outlook of the condo, no condo name, no sighboard, very simple registration room on the ground floor. 

The features

Things that you wouldn't expect also included, such as billion dollar sea view (without blockage!) and in room Jacuzzi!

I love to cook and i really wish i have the chance to get something fresh in the market for a simple meal cooked by myself. Too bad it was just a night.

Oh, what left out from the pictures are washing machine! We did used that through.

3. Central location for those who drive. Short driving distant to everywhere.
4. Good security,

Down of the stay

2. No on-site parking. Free public parking available in next block, but i just a minute walking from the condo.

If i would go back? definitely yes!
