Hot Springs Hotels in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan

Okinawa Hinode Hotel The hotel's location is super convenient, right next to Makishi monorail station, with direct access from Naha Airport. It's just a 100-meter walk after exiting the station. The hotel's common areas are fantastic! The restaurant looks spacious and bright, with plenty of seating and beautiful decor, including buffet counters adorned with flowers and lights. The self-service facilities offered by the hotel are incredibly rich, with a coffee machine, various drinks, ice cream, and a popcorn machine! This is a real bonus for family travelers or anyone just wanting to relax at the hotel. The hotel also offers complimentary beer, plum wine, Awamori, and even free late-night ramen, providing excellent value for money! They have children's tableware, making it comfortable and convenient, and with so many free food and entertainment options, it truly feels relaxing and enjoyable.

This might be the best hotel on Senagajima… hmm… the sunset is beautiful, the sea view is beautiful, and watching planes take off and land is also beautiful… but… the hotel's hot spring had a rotten, watery smell, the restroom on the first floor was dirty, there were ants in the room, and it was clear that many facilities hadn't even been wiped down in a long time. The staff were actually quite patient, and English communication was fine, but then there was an unexpected incident: I am very sure my wife and I are mindful of noise levels in public, yet during dinner, simply because I borrowed a phone, an elderly Japanese man at the next table, without any warning, yelled “shut up” like an animal. And the nearby staff member did nothing… If it weren't for considering international relations and being in a foreign country, I really would have wanted to have a vocabulary contest with that animal-like old man… To be honest, this was my first time encountering such an incident in Japan, but the hotel staff’s inaction completely ruined my impression of the place.

We arrived very late on the night of September 8th and were so impressed with the front desk team. They were welcoming, professional, and made the check-in process seamless. Our room was spotlessly clean and surprisingly spacious. A huge thank you to the staff for making our stay so comfortable from the very first moment. Highly recommend!

The location is great, right in the centre of the American Valley, 5 mins walk to the sunset beach. lots of cafe and restaurants around. They offer free Onsen. The breakfast is quite good. Staff are very friendly. Also got Limousine to the airport. Had a very lovely stay there.

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.

The sea-view room offered beautiful views, directly overlooking the ocean. The hotel features a swimming pool and hot spring baths. A buffet breakfast is also available, though it comes at an additional charge. Conveniently, there's a 7-Eleven and a souvenir shop located right downstairs. However, its location is quite a distance from the Jie Xin Monorail station.

Good point: 1) Excellent facilities: have jacuzzi, swimming pool, hot spring and bath place 2) Free shuttle bus offered with clear schedule 3) Have lot of restaurants, convenience stores and tourist place nearby 4) Easy to call taxi/ uber 5) Breakfast is highly recommended, great variety of drinks ( the tea choices are amazing )and delicious food 6) Free daily item to offered Bad point: 1) The room is too small, barely fit in 2 suitcases 2) Hygiene can be better , have dust everywhere 3) Air con is dripping to the bed, fridge is noisy 4) Corridor is too windy 5) Near Red light street, if you are family with children might be not a good choice

The rooms are clean and I've stayed here many times. The front desk staff and other guests are always polite and helpful. The baths are soothing and relaxing. I'm looking forward to visiting Okinawa again in the summer. I look forward to seeing you again then.

An absolutely fantastic vacation experience! First off, the hotel's location is super convenient. You can get here directly from the airport by limousine bus or OAS, and from the moment I stepped off the bus, the welcome was impeccable. I didn't have to touch my luggage once the entire time. The front desk staff were lovely and explained everything thoroughly, and my room assignment was excellent. My room was spacious with an incredible ocean view. I fell asleep and woke up every day to the sound of the waves. Pulling back the curtains revealed a 'jellyfish sea' – it truly felt like my ideal life. Plus, there's a bathtub in the room, and bath salts were replenished daily, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. I also have to rave about the hotel breakfast. You can scan a QR code to join the queue, and then head to the restaurant when it's almost your turn – so convenient. Both days I chose the buffet restaurant; the variety was great, and the ingredients were fresh. Enjoying breakfast while looking out at the ocean was an absolutely perfect experience. Overall, highly recommended!

The room amenities are quite basic. There's a wooden hook on the wall as you enter, but no regular coat rack in an entryway. The shower pressure isn't strong. When you go out to the balcony to enjoy the view, it's best to close the door because there are lots of bugs and birds (crows) that will fly in. Definitely bring enough clothes and don't plan on doing laundry. I rinsed my swimsuit and hung it on the balcony to dry. In just a short while, a crow flew by and pooped on the balcony chair and my swimsuit. I wasn't sure if bird droppings carry diseases, so I had to throw it away. You can tell the ecosystem is really thriving! After dinner, when I'd walk around the hotel grounds, I'd always get bitten by bugs – it felt very much like being in the countryside. There are no convenience stores nearby, and it's best not to go out after 6 or 7 PM; it gets too dark, and the cawing of the crows makes it quite eerie. It's best to eat all three meals at the hotel. There's very little storage space in the room! It's suitable for solo travelers or for an occasional one-night stay. Important note: During my stay this time (July), the bathroom constantly felt like it was swaying, like being on a boat. I wonder if it was an earthquake! All the facilities like the pool, table tennis, and various other entertainment options are chargeable, so you can decide based on your needs. There's a hot spring nearby, but the shower only dispenses water for a short while after you press the button. So, when you're showering, you have to hold the showerhead with one hand and keep pressing the button with the other. Talk about saving water! This is something they could really learn from Japan! As soon as you enter the hotel, from the lobby to the room, you'll notice that musty, decades-old hotel smell. If you like vintage scents, you might enjoy it.
