Romantic Hotels in Motobu

"The room and service were okay, but the room was incredibly humid. We stayed on the 7th floor for four days, and the bedding was so damp it caused us to break out in eczema. I understand it's unavoidable given the seaside location and unpredictable weather. You can snorkel right by the beach downstairs and see some small fish. However, the staff were lovely, and the room was cleaned thoroughly every day with all amenities replenished."

"The location is excellent! You can take a bus directly from DFS in Shintoshin, and it stops right at the hotel entrance. While the room facilities are a bit old, the rooms are very spacious, perfect for family trips. There's a commercial street downstairs with a Starbucks and an Okinawa specialty supermarket. Getting to the aquarium is also convenient, with a shuttle bus service available for round trips. After a full day out, you can easily find dinner downstairs, and there's even an ice cream truck! We really enjoyed our two-night stay."

"Oceanic Grandeur at The Orion Motobu: A Masterclass in Northern Okinawa Hospitality Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) The Verdict ”The Hotel Orion Motobu Resort & Spa remains a benchmark for luxury in Northern Okinawa. With its expansive footprint and strategic location adjacent to the Emerald Beach and Churaumi Aquarium, it offers a resort experience that feels both grand in scale and intimate in comfort. As a traveler who appreciates the higher standards of Japanese hospitality, I found this property to be a highlight of the Motobu Peninsula.” Location & Aesthetic The positioning is peerless. To have Emerald Beach as your front yard and the aquarium as your neighbor is a luxury few hotels can claim. The architecture maximizes the stunning views of Ie Island, and the transition from the sophisticated lobby to the pristine coastal surroundings is seamless. The resort successfully captures the 'Okinawa Blue' spirit in every corner. Service & Amenities The service here felt notably more 'high-touch' and personalized. The staff navigate the complexities of a large-scale resort with grace and genuine warmth—a step above the standard 'transactional' service seen in city hotels. You can feel the passion and warmth the moment you arrive at the resort. Accommodation Note The rooms are impressively spacious by Japanese standards and the location is right in between Churaumi Aquarium and Bise Fukugi Tree Road by foot!!! Guest Tip: Ensure you are present at your balcony to embrace the magnificent sunset. Watching the sun dip below the horizon around 5:00 PM is a transformative experience that defines the beauty of this resort."

"I'm very satisfied with the facilities and room conditions. You can enjoy the ocean view from the bathtub, and the washing machine is free to use. Breakfast is delicious, as it's a packed lunch from a nearby restaurant. It's conveniently located near snorkeling spots and a large supermarket."

"Very good hotel that can sleep 4 comfortably. Was very clean, very close, 5 mins walk to some food outlets e.g. Gongcha, potama sandwich etc. We took the free shuttle bus to Bise-fukugi tree road (keep walking till you reach the beach and timed to arrive before sunset to see the beautiful sky). Breakfast spread was very good. This is a hotel that i would recommend to family and friends."

"The facilities are a bit old, but the space is large and the location is convenient. Parking right in front is super easy. The interior is clean, and the kitchen is fully equipped. Having an electric stove for shabu-shabu is a big plus! However, I was disappointed with the bedding situation. When I booked, it stated there would be a bed and a tatami mat. But upon check-in, there was only a bed and two pillows. I was told I'd have to pay extra for a tatami mat and additional pillows. I ended up paying ¥2400 for two small pillows (¥600 per night), which felt different from what was promised during booking. It left a bit of a bad taste."
