The hotel is quite dated and old fittings throughout the room. The window didn’t open/shut properly. One of the side lamps didn’t work, there was no modern charging points for charging your phones on the side of the bed. There was some communication problem with the staff and we went into a wrong room (which had a door open when we arrived) and we only realised it was a wrong room when we looked at the number on the key very carefully. The room number on the key was not very clear and even another staff member struggled to read it properly. We did feel that the staff was annoyed rather than dealing with the situation in a more professional manner. The pool is much smaller than that shown in the official picture. This hotel does not offer cleaning/bed making if you are only staying for three days (two nights). Rational behind this is “being environmentally friendly”. Yet they offer fresh towels. I’d think that bed making/room tidying wouldn’t cost the environment if you don’t change the bed linen which most hotels these days offer the guests to indicate (by leaving some card on the bed if they want linen changed). I suggest that they consider doing this. The breakfast and the breakfast staff was good. The location is good, just off the emerald beach and the aquarium. It probably is good for families but for couples, I’d choose another hotel.

I must say the rooms here are HUGE!! We were so spoilt with the space we had here that went we went to the Naha hotel we had to adjust to the space difference especially the toilet! You can have a mini party in this toilet! There are toiletries provided in the toilet and also bathroom slippers. The staff were really friendly and helpful. When we arrived we were greeted by the staff at the reception and he called me by my name. I was surprised that he even know me but I guess it was maybe we were the last guest who check-in for the day as we arrived at the hotel at about 11:30pm. Within 10mins we were checked-in to our room with our luggages. Do note that there is no lift in this hotel. The scenery we had was overlooking the pool and the sea. The buffet breakfast was really really good! We enjoyed all our breakfast there even though after the 4 and 5 day the food served were pretty similar. The main spread of food was Japanese with some western. Love the range of drinks provided and the Japanese desserts! Free parking are provided and there are many lots available. The only thing to note is that this hotel is quite far from everywhere except the aquarium so you have to have a car to stay in this hotel and also be prepare to drive for an hour or so to get to places of interest! Other than that this is a perfect place to stay in!

Good: 1. Next to the famous aquarium & ocean expo park 2. Near the Emerald Beach 3. The room is spacious 4. There’s a fire works area in the root of the hotel Bad: 1. No water activity could be arranged by the hotel (eg. Boat/ snorkeling / diving trip, island hopping) 2. Breakfast at 7-9:30am only, too early for me as I am not a morning person. I paid extra for breakfast but could not enjoy it everyday. 3. Communications with staff, as I visited after a typhoon in Okinawa, the beach (Emerald beach) was closed. The staff could not tell us when would the beach open again. Close to the beach is the reason why I chose this hotel at the 1st place. 4. No bar at the hotel. What you can do is to get drinks at the convenience store (Lawson) next to the hotel, and drink in your rooms. 5. The hotel is next to a cemetery. I know some people don’t feel comfortable about that. Lastly, better rent a car to drive around as there are not many options (or no option) for restaurants around this hotel. I will choose another hotel next time ;)

Despite some previous negative comments, this place is cozy and worth the price. The building might be old indeed, but it is well renovated and refurbished. True the pool is small, but beautiful beaches are close. During summer they have an event every night. My family and I saw an Eisa dance performance in a venue usually used as a bar. The performance itself was OK. Its choreographing is based on the traditional Okinawan way but the music they danced to was some pop music. Right next to the hotel, there is a Lawson. So, do not buy beverages and snacks at the shop in the hotel unless you would like to show your enthusiastic supports or loyalties to this hotel for unique reasons. The prices are more than 50 percent higher than the Lawson's. The location is nice. It's literally a five minute walk to the aquarium.

Royal View is an older hotel, but the service was friendly, and the rooms were clean. The view from the terrace was beautiful. There is a children's play area with lots of toys and a bouncey castle if the weather doesn't cooperate. There's lots of dining within walking distance or less than a 5 minute drive. There's a Lawson convenience store if you forget any snacks or drinks for activities. The breakfast buffet is fairly basic but has enough variety to satisfy most people. Also, it is literally next door to the aquarium, so it's super convenient. The front desk has discounted tickets for the aquarium.

The hotel’s location is excellent, it’s right next to the Okinawa churaumi aquarium, you can actually walk there. However, that’s the only pros about this hotel, don’t be fooled by those pictures, first of all, this is more like a cheap motel than a hotel, there are no elevator, I have to take my luggages walk down on stairs to the room, and because of the humidity, the whole hotel smells bad, the wall is molded. Wall paper cracked, lots of dust, I doubted they have clean the room. The Wi-Fi is slow!! Staff is not friendly. There are many hotels nearby seems better, I won’t stay here again for sure.
