Hotels Near Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Motobu

Nestled just steps away from the vibrant Okinawa aquarium, this hidden gem offers exceptional value for budget-conscious travelers seeking aquatic adventures. The rooms are surprisingly spacious, clean, and well-appointed, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring marine wonders. Despite its affordability, the hotel doesn't compromise on service; the staff is friendly, accommodating, and eager to assist with any requests. Plus, its convenient location comes with free parking, including a 10 min walk to the beach.

It's really hard not to have a car, especially since the typhoon isolated Lawson, which requires 10 minutes of walking and a 10-minute diagonal road. I was so blown away by the wind that I couldn't even buy any food. Although he beat me when he saw me when I walked downstairs, but one day a staff member is better than a lunch box for me🥺. Even if the scenery is la, it’s a small sea🗿.

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!

The location and facilities inside the room are nice, however, the customer service is not ideal. It is normally assumed that after booking a hotel online with a booking confirmation, all necessary information is already on the confirmation letter. However, travelers who stay at this property will still have to actively reach out to the hotel for check-in ID in order to do self-check-in via iPad. It would be great if the hotel could reach out to the traveler before their check-in. What's even worse is that during the check-in process, we did a face-to-face meeting via iPad, and there was no information provided by the staff that we would need a password to enter the hotel after certain hours. After dinner outside, when we returned to the hotel, we were locked outside the hotel, and luckily, we were able to call the Japanese phone number via the public phone. It would have been a nightmare if there had been no public phone or if no one from the hotel had picked up the phone.

We love Maihana wellness resort especially the onsen in the resort. After a day out the onsen make us recharge and refresh. Clean and cozy stay 30/1/24-2/2/24. Free parking available and there are many places to eat around the resort.The room are spacious and have partial seaview .We will be back here if we are in okinawa again

Lifeguard at the hotel pool was very rude to us when we were a few minutes late leaving the pool when the time was up, because we were handing a 6-year-old kid. This is totally unacceptable and have ruined our hotel experience completely!

This time I stayed in Village No. 3. I checked into the office in Village No. 2. It was very easy to find and provided with maps and precautions. However, when returning to the hotel in the evening, it was easy to find the entrance because the indicator of Village No. 3 was not illuminated and the small arrow was closer to the ground. Check out is self-service, which is very convenient. Breakfast will be delivered to the door the next day, providing each person with a cup of hot soup, salad and lunch box (tamagoyaki, two kinds of bread, ham, bacon). For us, it is full and it is great to drink hot soup in the morning. The room we stayed in can park 2 cars. There are two bathrooms, one on the first floor (with a bathtub and bath powder provided) and the other on the second floor (a shower-style space, only big enough for one person). The hot water temperature is It's fast enough, you won't have to wait too long. Both rooms are located on the second floor. One has two double beds and the other has tatami mats. Four mattresses are provided, but they cannot fit in. 3 mattresses can cover the entire floor. We sleep 2 adults. +2 kids, not too crowded. When I checked in that day, I felt it was quiet and there was no noise disturbance. Very close to Churaumi Aquarium A7 parking lot.

This is my second time to stay in this hotel. The hotel locates near the ocean park and the Motobu Watersports Centre, about 1.5 hours driving from Naha. The room is not luxury but tidy and clean, it was spaciously equipped with 2 beds as well as a tatami area. Breakfast here is simple but good enough. We think it is excellence for kids because they can meet horses, goats, dolphins, sea turtles, fishes and birds in the hotel. We chose this hotel because of the Motobu Genki Village - a watersports centre. We enjoyed canoeing last time and enjoyed sailing this time. We certainly will stay in this hotel again on our next visit to Okinawa.

The room is clean and hygienic There are also enough parking spaces downstairs, no need to reserve in advance. Next time I will choose a sea view room, the endless sea scenery is pleasant. There are Sushiro and Aeon not far away, and there are also many convenience stores nearby, which is very convenient.

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.
