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.
The stay was pleasant. Breakfast was improved compared to last year. Even though the outdoor swimming pools were not opened yet, indoor swimming pool was good to use and Sauna was excellent too.
The surrounding environment is very beautiful.
All were good except the fact that it was hard to communicate with staffs. Most of staffs spoke only Japanese.

This hotel is located in the most bustling part of Kokusai Street, less than a ten-minute walk from Makishi Station. Kokusai Street is right outside the hotel, and there are three convenience stores (7-Eleven, Lawson, FamilyMart) all within 100 meters. For a Japanese hotel, the room isn't small at all; it's more than enough space for one person, and probably just right for two. The front desk staff is quite responsible. There's an outdoor pool, which I'd heard was closed in December, but I actually saw people swimming. There's also a hot tub on the second floor, similar to hotels I've seen in Hokkaido. Overall, it's a good place, and I'd consider staying here again next time.
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 only regret of this trip was that when we originally booked, we were told the hotel had a dedicated airport shuttle bus. We arrived at Okinawa Airport at 2 PM and asked the local ground staff, who informed us there was a bus at 5 PM. So, my nearly 80-year-old mother and I decided to wait a few hours. However, when 5 PM arrived and we went to the designated spot, we never saw the hotel's shuttle bus. Frustrated, we had no choice but to take a taxi to the hotel. It happened to be rush hour and raining then, so the journey took over an hour and cost a whopping 13,750 JPY. Upon arrival, we found out that you needed to book the shuttle in advance, but Trip.com's customer service didn't mention this when we made our reservation. We not only wasted several hours but also incurred extra expenses.
The hotel boasts exclusive access to a large private beach, offering an elegant environment and spacious, bright rooms with fantastic sea views. The breakfast spread is diverse and delicious, and its close proximity to the airport makes it incredibly convenient. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back!

This is a great hotel, not far from the beach, Makishi Public Market, and Kokusai Street. You can walk to all of them. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, and the airport is only about 6 kilometers away!

Cclem.dbnExceptionally surprised by how beautiful the resort was. The entire property was well-maintained, peaceful, and even nicer than expected. The service was truly top-notch — the staff were consistently welcoming, attentive, and professional.
One of the highlights was the complimentary lounge access, which offered free snacks and drinks. It was a really nice touch and made the stay feel even more relaxing. The ocean view from the resort was also stunning and added to the overall experience.
The breakfast, lunch, and dinner options were surprisingly affordable considering the quality and variety. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and well worth it.
The pools were just as impressive — clean, spacious, and perfect for unwinding. Overall, a fantastic experience and I would absolutely stay here again.
AAnonymous UserThis is a great hotel, not far from the beach, Makishi Public Market, and Kokusai Street. You can walk to all of them. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, and the airport is only about 6 kilometers away!
ZZiyourenThis is a classic five-star resort hotel, though its location is a bit off the beaten path. While a bus serves the main road near the village entrance, it's a 200-meter walk from there to the hotel's complimentary shuttle stop. Alternatively, a taxi from the bus stop to the hotel costs 900 JPY.
The rooms are quite spacious, equipped with a sofa and a balcony, and come with complimentary mineral water and a coffee machine. However, the bathrooms are a bit dated, and the ventilation system is weak. Coin-operated laundry facilities are available on the first floor.
Service is excellent. Upon arrival, bellhops promptly greeted us and took our luggage directly to our room. The breakfast buffet was also very impressive. The hotel features a swimming pool and offers direct, free access to the beach. There are plenty of paid water activities, making it ideal for a family vacation.
Kkelvin.likes.cheeseUnexpectedly Perfect Stay at Southwest Grand Hotel! 🌟
We stumbled upon Southwest Grand Hotel due to a last-minute flight change, and what a blessing in disguise it turned out to be! Our extra day in Okinawa became one of the most memorable parts of our trip—all thanks to this incredible hotel.
🛏️ Stylish & Photogenic Rooms
The room was modern, chic, and absolutely Instagram-worthy. I even turned it into a mini photo studio and captured some beautiful family portraits of my wife and our 3-month-old baby. My wife was over the moon with the results!
🍳 Breakfast That Delights Every Palate
The breakfast spread was phenomenal—offering both Western and Japanese options, all bursting with flavor. The cheese selection and homemade yogurt with honey were standouts. Don’t miss them!
📍 Prime Location
Just a minute’s walk from Kokusai-dori (国際通り), the hotel is perfectly located for last-minute shopping or grabbing essentials. Super convenient and central!
🍽️ Vibrant Evenings
As the nearby streets settle into a peaceful hush and most restaurants wind down with only a handful of diners, the lobby restaurants at Southwest Grand Hotel remain buzzing with energy. The lively atmosphere, filled with cheerful faces and clinking glasses, speaks volumes about the quality and charm of the hotel’s dining experience.
💭 Still Dreaming About It
Overall, our experience at Southwest Grand Hotel was truly delightful. Even now—almost a month later—I can still recall every moment with vivid clarity. If it weren’t for the limited parking, I’d confidently call it Michelin-worthy! This hotel is an absolute hidden gem, and without a doubt, I’ll be staying here again on our next visit to Okinawa!
MMisia2023The hotel is a bit old, and the vines cover the light in the corridors below the third floor, which feels like a feng shui design flaw. The beach outside, however, seems to be the best among the surrounding hotels, with plenty of areas to explore. The restaurant offers great sea views. For breakfast, you have two restaurants to choose from, though the Japanese one closes quite early. There's also a free exhibition to check out. You can find some other restaurants within a 10-15 minute walk. Overall, the value for money is pretty good.
GGraceLcmWe arrived almost midnight after a long day, looking forward to a good rest. The room (Deluxe Twin) was okay and comfortable, nothing much to complain about.
However, the service was quite disappointing.
We booked a Deluxe Twin under one name and naturally expected breakfast for two persons. Upon check-in, we were told breakfast was only for one, and we had to top up more than ¥5,000 for the second person. That was quite a surprise.
What made it worse was the receptionist repeatedly making remarks in Japanese mentioning “Singaporean” during the conversation. Even if we didn’t fully understand everything, the tone and body language were uncomfortable and unnecessary.
After a long journey, you really hope for warm hospitality — unfortunately, this was not the experience we had.
Just sharing our experience.
GGuest UserIf there is more grass nearby, there will be a lot of insects.
There are spider webs in some corners of the hotel room
Before going to bed, I found bugs on the bedside and yellow stains on the sheets
It’s a pity that there are so many insects at night that it’s impossible to use the swimming pool
It is recommended that the hotel provide some insect repellents
The price of the hotel is not cheap, and the location is not convenient either.
Unexpectedly, there was no one to help carry the luggage to the room after check-in.
Breakfast options are less
If I get a perfect score out of 10, the price/performance ratio can only be compared to 6 points.
GGuest UserThe service was excellent as expected in Japan.
Staff were friendly and very helpful at all times.
The hotel had a coin operated laundry (a must for family travellers) and has modern gym facilities (a must for middle aged dads), however the gym was little disappointing as it did not have a leg machine and the dumbbells only went up to 22kg. But the pool and the jacuzzi were excellent for a family with kids. The changing rooms were very clean.
We didn't try the food at the hotel but only because we wanted a local eatery experience while here in Okinawa. The hotel's location almost adjoins the Makishi Market complex that offers protection from the rain and provided lots of options for local eating as well as numerous souvenir shops.
Definitely will look forward to staying here again.
UuknowpennyThe shuttle bus from the airport to the hotel isn't very frequent, especially the one going to the airport, which only runs in the morning. If you have an afternoon flight, you'll have to take a taxi. It feels more suitable for those traveling by car. On the plus side, you can walk to Hoshino Café.
The hotel's restaurant has good food and service, but there are queues for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and no one told us we could call ahead to reserve a table. Water activities also require reservations, and they don't accept phone bookings; you have to go early in the morning to get a spot, which is a bit too primitive 😂.
The beach and pool are beautiful, and the rooms are well-maintained. The off-season price seems reasonable.
GGuest UserBeautiful view and nice public bathhouse, but no cold plunge. The rooms are old and unrefined. Only two bright white overhead lights that cannot be dimmed, plus a single lamp on the nightstand that must be unplugged in order to plug in anything else near the beds, which are uncomfortable and creaky. Futon sets in the Japanese/Western room can only be used “with permission” and at an additional charge. Mini fridge sits on top of a baking sheet. Security latch for door does not have a corresponding part and is therefore is useless.
