Beach Hotels in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan

In the afternoon, the hotel provides complimentary welcome drinks like soft drinks and popsicles. Signing up with your email gets you a free gift (you can choose from six options); I picked the Awamori, which was a great choice. The complimentary promotional flyer also included a voucher for a free face mask and a 10% discount at the Ryukyu Onsen mask shop located right next door. There are lots of special perks and promotions available. There's a counter downstairs at the hotel where you can book various activities, such as snorkeling. The onsen area in the main building is smaller compared to the annex. A great feature is that the women's onsen in the annex includes a sauna. They also rotate the onsen bath scents weekly. Breakfast offered a very generous and wide selection, even including ice cream. My only minor critique is that many options were carb-heavy (rice, noodles), which felt like a bit of a carb overload. The salad bar was also a bit limited, mostly cabbage. Accessing the upper floors requires a room key, which enhances security. Ice machines and washing machines are also available and very convenient. Sunset Beach is just a short walk across a bridge from the hotel. The Chatan area also offers a free shuttle bus service, making it easy to visit Aeon Mall and catch a movie at the adjacent cinema.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, making it easy to explore the area. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. A special shoutout to Koroda, who assisted us with check-in—best service ever! The room was beautiful, offering a stunning view of the sea, which made our stay even more relaxing. The onsen was clean and comfortable, providing a truly refreshing experience. And don’t miss the breakfast—it’s delicious and definitely worth the money paid. Highly recommended, and I would love to stay here again! Let me know if you’d like any tweaks!

Perfect hotel for my getaway even just four days solo. Two different types of breakfast and I love the Japanese on. Easy to book massage and facial inside hotel even it’s typical hotel price. Indoor and outdoor pools perfect for changing weather. I’m so impressed with the simple thing like gardening with all types of plant. Also good for kids with all entertainments. The sauna and public bath are small but standard and practical. Location wise, it’s next to the beach and park for morning workout if you don’t wanna stay in hotel. Taxi apps GO is fantastic to get me anywhere but still short distance reaching museum, American village, community onsen. So I’m greatly satisfied. Next time I will book diving day experience as there are many agents around.

Very good experience. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. They are willing to go the extra mile to make one's journey smooth. The swimming pool is awesome, and enough lifeguards are there to make everyone safe. Oriental is not the only hotel we visited this time, and I would say their standard room is big when compared with the other same grade hotels. One thing to highlight is the varied cuisines at the grill restaurant, value for money. Overall, we would recommend this hotel to anyone we know, especially families. Would like to visit again.

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 room was quite spacious, easily one of the biggest I've stayed in at a Japanese hotel, and the free onsen made for a very comfortable stay. There's a beach nearby with a designated swimming area. While transportation is fairly convenient, it does require a bit of a walk to reach public transport stops. Picking up drinks at the convenience store and enjoying them with friends as we explored the surroundings was a real highlight.

The breakfast and dinner options were honestly fantastic. There were plenty of options that ranged from Italian to traditional Japanese. I really enjoyed the night we grilled at our table.

Huge resort hotel with lots to do for families. The onsen facilities are great (extra charge for guests) and breakfast was good. The room had a fantastic ocean view. Better to have a car to drive around as not much in the local area.

Large hotel with spacious rooms, though a bit dated but clean and well maintained. Nice beach and great sea views from the rooms. But there are many limitations, especially for foreign tourists and those without a car. First of all, this place is rather remote, though not very far from Naha city but getting there will take about 2 hours on the Airport Hotel limousine bus , fare is ¥1430 per person, and there are not many services per day, if you miss the bus, you have to walk 30 minutes to Yomitan village to take the public bus, which takes more than 2 hours to Naha, or pay through your nose with taxi which costs more than ¥12,000. Almost none of the staff are able to converse in English effectively, reception staff will need to translate with an I pad and show the translation to customers. Being a large international resort hotel , they are extremely strict with the check in time, our limo bus arrived at about 1.30pm , when we asked to be checked in ,the reception staff said ok, but she told me ”early in 3000”, which I couldn't understand initially, she later showed me on her I pad , which displayed ” early check in fee ¥3000 for 1 hour”, there is no way to get a check in on arrival without paying a fee if you arrive early, even when the rooms are ready- which is unthinkable for anywhere else in the world ! It appeared that all guests arriving early decided to wait in the lobby till 3pm. Guests were not even offered any welcome drink, which was unthinkable for a resort hotel. Each room here cost more than ¥30,000 per night . Many other cons , which are rather unacceptable for foreign tourists- All the TV channels are in Japanese. Rather far away from any eating places , and not many choices. In rooms - the aircond cannot be set lower than 22 degree C , there is no shower cap and spoon provided.

A major highlight of the hotel is its airport shuttle service. The minibus operates precisely on schedule. However, on my return trip after check-out, I just missed the bus by literally half a minute and had to wait another half an hour for the next one. The driver was very professional and always proactive in helping with luggage when getting on and off. My favorite part was the hotel breakfast; apart from sushi, the selection of seafood, milk, coffee, and delicate pastries were all superb. I also enjoyed the hotel's hot springs (onsen); a daily soak really helped melt away the fatigue. The toiletries provided at the onsen were also of good quality. The bar and the paid swimming pool on the 14th floor offer fantastic beach views, making them excellent spots for sunset watching. The hotel's surroundings are convenient, with supermarkets, convenience stores, and small restaurants nearby. Naminoue Shrine is right next door, and the beach is just a 10-minute walk away. The only downside is the inconvenient transportation. Getting to any attraction requires either taking a taxi or walking over 1.5 km to catch a bus or monorail. Despite the language barrier, using a translation app to communicate with the staff always yielded helpful and satisfactory responses.
