"Really nice location to go Aquarium. Clean and easy check in process. Plently of parking next to hotel for free for guests.
Unfortunately we go during early Jan winter time so the outdoor pool is closed, but the indoor heated pool is reasonable size for kids to play and change room inside to change it.
The room is spacious and clean ♡ ♡ our futon bedding kids ♡ ♡ it.
When check in they gave us 2 sets of kids toiletries bags (kids slipper, tooth brush, and small face towel) to keep.
The sunset view from my room is so beautiful and theres tea/ coffee machine, kettle to use in room. Different type of jap glass cups for toiletries. Bath tub in shower room bonus point.
The only down side is I wish the breakfast has more choices(eg. Cooked vege) stayed for 2 nights felt not much difference.
For location i recommend to stay here as its near aquarium. Not much restaurants nearby so either finish dinner outside or buy bentos/instant noodles to bring into hotel."
"The entrance to the room was stunning, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The location was conveniently a ten-minute drive from the aquarium, with a shuttle service also available. Many nearby dining options were available, and the sea views were lovely. We chose not to have breakfast due to the price 3300 yen. Free parking was plentiful. However, we did find that the air conditioning could be improved, as a setting of 20 degrees was insufficiently cool. Additionally, the pool's operating hours (9 AM to 6 PM) seemed somewhat limited, and the gym could benefit from additional strength training equipment. However, I would definitely recommend staying here and would return."
"Overall, the hotel is good. However, I think it would be wonderful if the hotel can make some improvement in several things. 1) We knew that the wifi wasn't free, so I prepared some moives for my child. However, I think the hotel disabled the usb function. And free wifi have to be a standard offer nowadays. 2) No one clean the sand at the bottom of the swimming pool, so the water quality isn't good. Luckily, my 3 years child didn't get sick. 3) I stayed in 3 hotels in my trip to Okinawa this time, all the other two hotels offered special Okinawa coffee drip coffee. However, this hotel only provided the normal coffee powder that you could see in economy hotel. 4) This is the only hotel that didn't provide us child toothbrush set. Anyway, the hotel location is fine, we found two supermarkets right after crossing the Sesoko bridge."
"Great Location, clean and cozy hotel. The breakfast is delicious. Churaumi Aquarium and Lawson just next door, walking distance to restaurants and just 10-15mins drive to Motobu city centre."
"There weren't many reviews, so I was very worried about making a reservation, but when I actually checked in, I thought it was a good idea to come here.
The sea view from the terrace on the second floor was so beautiful.
The kitchen was well equipped with induction, kitchenware, and microwave, and it was also well equipped with a washing machine, dryer, and robot vacuum cleaner.
Even though it was summer, I didn't see a single bug inside the accommodation.
The living room and bedroom were separate, and the interior was very spacious, so it was a very satisfying accommodation in many ways.
It's close to the ocean and Bisezaki snorkeling point, so it's great for swimming and snorkeling.
This is a place I'd definitely recommend to my friends!!"
"It was amazing!
The room was spacious and very clean.
It also had a drum-type washer/dryer, which was great because my laundry was completely dry by the next morning.
It was almost too big for two people, lol.
There was extra bedding, so it would have been fun to stay with a group of 5-6 people. (The neighbors are private, so making noise outside might be a nuisance, though...)
On the day, we walked to a nearby shabu-shabu restaurant, but it seemed like there weren't many restaurants nearby at night, so it might have been nice to bring your own ingredients and cook in the kitchen. (All the dishes and cooking utensils were provided.)
At night, there were no lights around, so the stars were clearly visible and it was beautiful.
The entrance to the parking lot was a little hard to find (it was a very narrow road), and during the day, there were a lot of tourists on electric scooters, making it difficult to turn around. I wish I had checked the map beforehand.
Also, there were a lot of bugs and geckos, so be careful if you're not very good with them."
"The location is 5/5 because it is very close to the Churami Aquarium. Else, finding nice and cozy food to eat can be a challenge. View wise, we are close to the sea, but there was construction, so you can imagine ...
No complaints on cleanliness.
Service wise, there is not a single service staff, so we are lucky we do not need help. Thus 3/5. I do not understand the instruction to enter the lobby after 10 pm, or it was not updated.
Facilities-wise, not much as a service apartment. The shower ”column” in the master bedroom is really small ..., all the basins are at the wrong height, just too low. I need to bend more than 90 degrees to reach the tap and I am not tall. The redeeming point is that Family Mart is just beside the lobby. Parking is very ample and convenient."

Amazing
AAnonymous UserI had a wonderful stay at the Orion Hotel in Motobu during my trip to Okinawa. The hotel is in a fantastic location, just a short distance from popular attractions like the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and the beautiful Emerald Beach. The surrounding views of the ocean and lush greenery were breathtaking.
The room was spacious, modern, and immaculately clean. I particularly loved the balcony, which offered a stunning view of the sea—perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring. The bed was very comfortable, and the amenities provided made my stay even more convenient.
The hotel staff were exceptionally kind and professional. They were always willing to assist, whether it was answering my questions about local attractions or ensuring my room was perfectly prepared. Their hospitality truly made the experience unforgettable.
One highlight of my stay was the hotel’s breakfast buffet. The variety of local Okinawan dishes and international options was impressive, and everything was fresh and delicious. The outdoor pool and spa facilities were also excellent and added to the overall luxury of the experience.
I highly recommend the Orion Hotel Motobu to anyone visiting this part of Okinawa. It’s perfect for families, couples, or solo travelers looking for a relaxing and high-quality stay. I look forward to returning in the future!
EElanIn order to avoid taking a long drive to the Churaumi Aquarium early in the morning, I stayed here the night before. Each room is independent and has a small kitchen, washing machine, separate bathroom and toilet. It is suitable for short-term stays and you can cook. It is about five minutes away from the aquarium. If you are hungry, you can go to the Mahaina Hotel area, where there are a lot of food and Okinawa rice balls 😆. You can eat them before going to the aquarium.
SSeunghun BaikIt is a good base for traveling to the north.
It is even better because it has amenities such as a large bath, coin laundry, and vending machines, as well as ocean and dolphin views.
AAnonymous UserGive up if you don't speak Japanese, give up if you don't drive,
Give up if you have requirements for the bedding in the accommodation.
I went very early and was arranged on the 2nd floor. There was no view. I asked to change and was told that it was full.
There are washing machines and dryers, and you can cook. It seems that this is the place chosen by American military families when they travel.
The surrounding area is remote and there is nothing. Convenience stores and restaurants are far away. You can look at the map. There is an area with Gongcha, which is relatively prosperous and has food and drinks. It is not recommended. The view from the roof is OK.
After 18:00, there was no staff to receive me. I used the taxi app. The drivers around me were all grandfathers who didn't know how to use the APP. I told the front desk at 17:59 that I wanted to go out for a meal now. The taxi for tomorrow morning was also booked. Otherwise, I might be very miserable. I would be hungry all night and couldn't leave tomorrow morning.
TThai happyThe guesthouse is located in the countryside. Not very convenient, but really quiet and peaceful. I spent a relaxing time there, sleeping early and awaking early everyday. The owners are very nice. The breakfasts every morning are tasty. The house is full of Beatles’ posters and discs. I love the vintage vibe so much.
The cleanliness is acceptable. There were some little geckos and insects in the room. But it was understandable because of the location.
The wifi is not working. I was compelled to take a social detox. Lol.
玩玩到不想回家Apartment-style vacation mode is great
Go to the nearby supermarket to buy dinner and cook hot pot
It comes with tableware and a pot set. It is very pleasant to chat and eat with three or five friends.
The mattress is the firmness we like to sleep on.
There is also a washing machine and a heating and cooling fan in the bathroom.
After washing the clothes, hang them on the horizontal bar and start drying
When I woke up in the morning, my clothes were all crispy.
The room is as clean as a new house
I also eat food bought from the supermarket for breakfast
It's a real pleasure to look out at the beautiful sea in the distance👍
I'll definitely come back next time.
GGuest UserStayed on 3F and happy to report I saw zero spiders or bugs during my stay. The daily breakfast was very homely and tasty, and made sense to enjoy it in our rooms with the spectacular view. The toilet has a big bathtub that is more rare with usually small Japanese hotels. The room is nothing fancy but fully functional for a value price. Wifi worked excellent with strong connection and easy to log in. TV has Netflix Amazonprime Youtube you can use. Despite being a bit hesitant about the location when we first arrived, it is OK - there is a Lawson opposite, and many restaurants just 5 min drive away up north. Overall a very pleasant stay. Thank you!
GGuest UserThe person of the hotel responded politely. The facilities were new and comfortable. Breakfast is fine. It is a quiet and good environment to refresh.
GGuest UserIt has a very nice location if you plan to travel at the northwest part of Okinawa like aquarium, genki village, etc. nearby with many good restaurants, aeon supermarket, grocery store etc. And the cafe at the hotel next door for breakfast is super great.
Nice location. Nice view. Nice nearby amenities. A very convenient location for a family.
DDaniel THTLocation is good, at the centre of Okinawa. Easy to go north and south from hotel.
Can see sunset from the beach beside the hotel.
Lots of sea activities available.
Swimming pool beside the hotel. Lawson beside the hotel too.
There are also 3-4 EV chargers at the parking lots.
Hotel is very clean. Laundry is very convenient, 3 washinging machines cum dryer on every floor.
However, tv only has 4 local channels.
