Hamby Resort

The Price and location is perfect but the quality of accommodation is with it's price level. Staff is very assisting. It was good for my purpose of trip just a place to crash down. The rooms are made of shipping containers but has AC that is coin operated. The laundry is a plus and the shower room is provided with amenities. The bathroom is though I am only 130lbs found it a tight space. Over all it is good for the price especially the location. I recommend this place if you just need a place to sleep.

I have the cottage near to the beach for my stay. If you booked for the cottage, you need to check in and out at the main building which is on a different side but short walking distance, Small little room with TV, bed and coin-operated aircon 100 yen for 4 hours works out well. The shared bathroom with hot shower was fine, the shared kitchen(need some cleaning and updo) you can use and the place were not noisy, so able to rest well after a full day out, A lot of restaurants and a supermarket nearby. Walking distance to American Village. To get Hamby, simply take the limo bus 720 yen from the airport. Overall, If you are not a fussy person, this place is good.

Do not let the word resort fool you, this is NOT a resort. Cottage 311: Its called a cottage but It is more like a tin shed. The fan is kept on all day and A/C is 500 yen a day extra. It is just one room with a small single mattress, thick blanket, low desk and a big flat screen tv (no usb port to bring your own movies sorry! limited channels) and A/C unit. I went in May which was hot but not that hot so i didnt need to use A/C but i imagine in the hotter months A/C would be necessary as there is no ventilation in the room. There was enough room for my carry on luggage and a place for me to put my shoes. Very small quarters, good for one but would be tight for 2. No wifi in the cottages. Location: The place is very easy to find, you can catch a Limo bus from Naha airport which is cheaper than catching the local bus (around 900 yen). The limo booth is right at the exit of airport. The bus takes around 1 hr to get there, get off at The Tower Chatan and walk 10 minutes. A cab here from the airport cost 4000 yen. The place is split into the shared dorms and private cottages. The cottages are right next to the beach - like 1 minute walk to the pathway. Amazing location. You can walk for 12 minutes to American Village, there is a big shopping centre and big Daiso about 5-6 minute walk in the opposite direction for cheap groceries. There are plenty of restaurants near the cottages though and there's 4 on the same small road. Amenities: 3 showers and 2 toilets for woman, these are not renovated or high tech. They are very basic and could do with an update if I am honest. It looks a little dirty. There is a tiny kitchen with one stove cooker. And a microwave. Rice and eggs are free so that is a great bonus for breakfast! Oil and condiments provided. Towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided. Staff Staff can speak very little English but can help. Tours should be researched on your own and as they couldn't provide much assistance. Local Bus: The local bus 20 and 120 are great buses to get you to the Aquarium if you wanted to visit. Staff can help with the bus timetables, it took about 2 hours one way. I think this is a great place for travellers on budget and who dont spend alot of time in their rooms. It really is amazing for location and the beach is a family friend beach. There is just the basics provided and the place is shabby. The vibe around the area is very chilled, you will alot of Western cuisine in the area and not much Japanese food. I recommend for those who can rough it and just want to be near the beach.
