The Orion Hotel Motobu Resort & Spa Reviews

It is convenient to reach the resort via express bus from Naha Bus Terminal or from the airport. Bus 117 goes directly to the resort front lobby, a 2.5 hours Bus ride as we did not drive. Once you alighted from the bus, you are greeted by the emerald-coloured sea, made me felt so relaxed and worth the bus ride. The room is big and overlooked the sea, I can sit at the balcony and enjoy the view with a cup of tea all day long. The resort is within the Ocean Expo Park, so can just walk to the Okinawa Chutaumi Aquarium and the various sites. The Emerald beach is right in front of the resort and can just walk over after breakfast to enjoy the cool sea breeze and sea water. We will definitely stay at this resort again if we come back to okinawa again.

All rooms have beautiful seaside and sunset view. Breakfast and 2 glasses of orion beer as welcome drink (2 other non alcoholic drink options are also available). Breakfast has a lot of variety so better to get a room plan that includes breakfast. I find it more difficult to walk the main road pathway between the aquarium and hotel. There is a back road that connects the dolphin show area to the hotel. Just keep walking along that route. There is also a paid shuttle bus available that connects the expo area to the hotel. I didnt know about that option prior to the stay so I didnt use. Please check with the hotel for further information. Hotel also provides good information about buses to Naha when enquired via email. Please note that facial products are not provided.

The most amazing breakfast buffet ever along with fantastic sea views make this a must stay for any visitor to the Motobu area.  Most of the buses including the airport shuttle stop directly at the hotel making it an excellent hotel choice for convenience. For those taking the airport shuttle for min. two paxs heading from the hotel back to Naha city, book the transport from the hotel’s tour desk for a 1,000 yen discount off the normal price for two tickets. They have an excellent restaurant serving local Okinawan cuisine at an affordable price. This is the property that all international and local visitors will enjoy.

Very good hotel! Location is a bit far away from everything but breakfast and views are super good

The hotel was nice with the big room.Only the onsen need to pay and not provide free to use

Superb view from the room. Largest room i ever stay in Japan. Good location and very clean

I 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!

Great hotel! close to the aquarium, can walk there and also a big park and seaside for leisure walking! Will recommend to friends who want to go to the aquarium next time!

Your more variety of restaurants would be recommendable…
