We stayed for four days. From before check-in, throughout our stay, and at check-out, the staff were extremely courteous and attentive. The Room was clean, and above all, we were very happy that the gas dryer dried our laundry quickly. It’s also close to American Village, and we walked there. We would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

The Room was spotless and very comfortable. I was especially impressed that even the toys provided were kept clean; my two-year-old son played with them nonstop. Thoughtful amenities for families with small children—such as a baby gate, high chair, and a step stool in the bathroom—made our stay feel safe and stress-free. We’d love to stay again.

Thank you for kindly accommodating our last-minute Reservation just two days in advance! The kids had an amazing time. We’ve stayed at several pool villas, and this was the best by far. We’d definitely love to stay again.

I was completely satisfied as my top priority when choosing a Hotel is to avoid any unpleasant experiences! The staff were very kind and natural, allowing me to enjoy a peaceful stay. Since it was the middle of my trip and I had accumulated laundry, having a washing machine and dryer in the Room was incredibly helpful. Detergent for two loads was also provided, which impressed me. The bathroom only has a shower; there is no bathtub. There are no convenience stores within walking distance, and there are only a few izakayas nearby. However, I enjoyed walking to see the ocean and visiting a famous soba restaurant in the area. There were almost no concerns about insects either. The front desk had an adorable Hawaiian vibe. I would definitely love to stay here again!

It felt like a stylish, charming pension-style Accommodation. The food was incredibly delicious, the Room was very clean, the furniture layout was thoughtfully arranged, the surrounding area was peaceful, and there was an open-air bath attached to the Room where you could see the stars. The amenities were also very considerate—overall, it was a wonderful Accommodation. The owner is quiet, but occasionally smiled at and responded to our baby, and we’re grateful for all the thoughtful support for guests traveling with a baby. The hallway is glass-walled and has great views—a stylish space—but perhaps because temperature control is difficult, some areas were quite hot, which was the only downside. When we visit Ikei Island or Hamahiga Island again, this is an Accommodation we’d like to stay at. Above all, the meals are truly delicious.

If you’re not good with bugs, I think a Hotel might be better, but I highly recommend this place for group trips! You can also have a BBQ, and it’s spacious and feels very open! There’s also a dryer, so we could wear our clothes again the next day and pack lighter! Personally, I thought it was great!

We stayed as a family. It was about a 5-minute walk to the American Village. The property had 3 Rooms, allowing everyone to have their own relaxing time. There was also a convenience store right behind the property. In addition to the bathtub, there was a separate shower room. There were also two toilets. Even with 5 people staying, we had no issues at all.

I had some business nearby and only returned to sleep without meals, but I stayed for two nights. The bedroom had a calming wooden feel, and it was nice to feel like returning to an apartment. The surroundings were quiet and not bothersome, allowing for a good night's sleep. The Room and bathroom were clean, providing peace of mind during use. The amenities were simple, but coffee was available, and everything necessary was well-provided. It was my first time in Okinawa, but thanks to this Hotel, I had a great time. Thank you!

In 2025, I visited Okinawa four times and stayed at different condo vacation rentals each time. However, my stay at Doka Doka was the best, so I decided to return here for my year-end visit. During this second stay, I noticed various thoughtful touches from the perspective of guests that I hadn't realized during my first visit. It made me feel that this place is the perfect choice for future stays. While many "Instagrammable Rooms" are introduced all over Okinawa, I've often felt they lack consideration for actual guest needs when staying there. This includes kitchen facilities, cooking utensils, bathrooms, or even how doors open and close—small details but noticeable nonetheless. It seems like those managing such facilities may not have actually stayed in their own rooms themselves. On the other hand, it feels like whoever designed this place considered everything from a personal user’s perspective because nothing is lacking here. (The bathroom doesn't have a reheating function for baths; hence my rating of 4 stars in that regard—but it's not something I'd ask to be changed as it’s perfectly fine as is.) It may not be highly "Instagrammable," but it offers more than enough comfort if your goal is to live like a local during your stay. The beautiful Yachimun pottery provided adds an extra touch of joy when preparing meals in the kitchen. The café breakfast experience was also wonderful—staff were very kind and accommodating with generous portions served. The scenery was stunning while the gentle music and atmosphere inside uplifted our morning mood beautifully. I’m already looking forward to visiting again next time! Thank you very much!

The view, Facilities, location, and cleanliness were all excellent. We really appreciated the thoughtful items prepared in the Room—it felt very considerate. Since we did a workcation, it was also great that housekeeping didn’t come in and there was a vacuum; we could clean ourselves whenever we wanted without worrying about timing. Things we were glad to have: - Vacuum cleaner - Rice cooker - Electric kettle - Washing machine, dryer, detergent - Plastic wrap - Dish soap and sponge - Separate trash bins for sorting and extra plastic bags - A sufficiently large refrigerator - Microwave - Dishes, cutlery, pots, frying pan, scissors, knife, cutting board, dish rack/drainer basket, spatula/turner, ladle, whisker/frother tool?, bottle opener (etc.) - Shampoo, conditioner, body soap - Power outlet by the bed - Plenty of outlets overall - Plenty of hangers Location It’s easy to get here by route bus from Haneda Airport or Kokusai-dori—get off at Ihe Bus Stop and it’s right there. You can also take the shuttle bus from the nearby Radiant Hotel. It’s a perfect walking distance to American Village; the route is along the seaside with clean paved paths so it feels great. There’s a large drugstore nearby as well as FamilyMart and a bakery; if you walk a bit farther you’ll find AEON and San-Ae supermarkets and cafés open from around 7 a.m. There’s also a car rental shop within walking distance—so we took the bus from Naha Airport and only rented a car when going on longer trips. View Because we spent a lot of time in the Room for our workcation, we insisted on an ocean-view Room on a high floor. That was absolutely the right choice. The main view is of the port area. You can see Chatan fireworks when they go off. Cleanliness Everything was very clean—including the kitchen and all water areas—so we could use them comfortably throughout our stay. Next time I’d love to visit with my whole family. I’d be happy if there were a repeat guest discount—and it would be even better if there were an option for one flat rate per room as well.

Over the New Year holiday, my parents-in-law and we as a couple traveled all the way to Okinawa and stayed for 2 nights as a group of four. The check-in and check-out terminal操作 was smooth. During our stay, we were able to relax and enjoy quality family time. We bought ingredients at a supermarket and cooked in the Room kitchen, and there were more than enough cooking utensils and tableware—nothing to complain about. My parents-in-law were also very happy, so I’m glad we chose this place to stay. We’d love to stay here again when we have the chance.

Very warm welcome from hotel staff, fantastic view from the balcony, comfortable stay and definitely will come back

Following last year, we stayed again this year for a Multiple Night Stay. It feels less like staying in Okinawa and more like living there, which is wonderful. The complimentary can of jasmine tea per night is very convenient. After I mentioned in the Review section last time that the first-floor bed springs were too firm, it had been improved this time, which I really appreciated.

We stayed in a Japanese-Western style Room. The toilet and bath were separate, there was a steak restaurant next door, and a convenience store across the street. Behind the Accommodation, there was a fishing port and a small park, and we were pleasantly surprised to find earplugs among the amenities. The elevator “Open” button didn’t work well, so we had to stop it with our foot. There was a step between the Room and the (spacious) bath area, but they kindly stacked mats as a temporary fix, which really helped. The faucet at the sink in the bath area was stiff. There was no washing machine. There were some drawbacks, but everyone was very kind to us.

The parking was easy to use, which was very helpful. I had registered my companion in advance and expected everything to go smoothly, but the way to enter the building was a bit hard to understand. You can live just like at home without any issues, so I think it’s perfect for families with children. Overall it was clean, but I did wish the washing machine had been maintained a little better. Still, there were plenty of hangers, and even when drying laundry outside there is proper screening around the area, so it felt safe. At night, it was quieter outside than I expected. There’s a convenience store right nearby, and American Village is within walking distance as well, which was very convenient.

The bathroom is spacious, allowing for a relaxing soak. The Room is also large enough to organize luggage easily, so I would like to use it again.

It was very kind and nice.

The Room was clean and well-maintained, and the staff were always seen cleaning. When the dryer stopped working, they responded promptly, allowing us to enjoy a comfortable stay! The morning bread and drink service was great; the bread was packed in a bag, so we could enjoy it with our family at the beach! We would love to stay here again next time!

The ocean view and service were excellent, but for a Hotel of this class, the lack of amenities in the Room and the use of a very cheap hairdryer left a poor impression.

It was a very lovely accommodation. My adult daughter was delighted. However, when I put the accommodation's towels in the washing machine, there were a lot of mold-like residues attached. There was water left in the coffee maker's water tank, and ice from previous guests remained in the freezer. These three points are related to hygiene, so I hope they can be improved as I don't want such a wonderful accommodation to receive lower evaluations. I look forward to staying again, so please take care of these issues!
