Motobu Hotels with Rooftop Pools

"The location is excellent! You can take a bus directly from DFS in Shintoshin, and it stops right at the hotel entrance. While the room facilities are a bit old, the rooms are very spacious, perfect for family trips. There's a commercial street downstairs with a Starbucks and an Okinawa specialty supermarket. Getting to the aquarium is also convenient, with a shuttle bus service available for round trips. After a full day out, you can easily find dinner downstairs, and there's even an ice cream truck! We really enjoyed our two-night stay."

"Very relaxing, beautiful view. Has its own little promenade with food and few of shops, can find everything u need right there. Close to the Okinawa churaumi aquarium and another place to visit dolphins. Great friendly staff and provided us a great impression. Delicious breakfast with western and japanese style food, got a kick start on our day!! Public bath on the floor is very neat amd relax. Greatly recommend this place and will return again when i visit."

"Even though this hotel is quite old, the views are genuinely beautiful, and the rooms are spacious. My kids loved the breakfast. I'd definitely consider staying here again if I bring my elders to Okinawa in the future."

"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."

"1. One of the beds also has the hairpin of the last guest, and it feels that it has not been cleaned thoroughly. Fortunately, I have a travel bed cover. 2. There is only 1 toilet, 1 bathroom, and many people will queue up to use it. 3. Quiet environment, large garden 4. Near the aquarium, praise 5.Check in location is very easy to find,. Arrive before 10 pm, there will be a simple registration by the staff, give a key, you can open the door and enter the house ～"

"The hotel is located near beautiful and clean Sesoko beach with marvellous sea abundant with great variety of fish. A perfect location for swimming and snorkeling. Sesoko beach and fantastic view thereof from our balcony has been a huge, but unfortunately the only advantage of the hotel. If you don’t rent a car, you have to be ready for the situation when you are unable to leave the hotel at all. It’s very hard to call a taxi either via Uber or even via local taxi app “Go”. The hotel staff does not provide too much help with this issue either, even when requested to book a taxi to the airport (to be fair hotel concierge finally managed to arrange a car for us, but it arrives 30 minutes late, despite our request being extended at least 12 hours before the planned departure). The hotel management is apparently aware of the transport inconvenience for their guests, but do not seem to care about that at all: they’ve chosen the easiest way “to cope” with the problem: just smile and say “sorry”. There’s another advantage of such approach for the hotel: if guests cannot leave the hotel easily, they wouldn’t have much lunch/dining choice other than having meals in the hotel. And here we come to another issue with the hotel: a very mediocre choice of dining options (no Japanese cuisine options at all) and extremely poor menu (with even poorer service) in the only available lunch venue. Breakfasts are below expectations as well: absolutely same food every morning (the only change from day to day: fried salmon/fried mackerel), no fresh fish/sea-food (we’re still in Japan, aren’t we?), almost no choice of fruits. Verdict: a very overrated hotel, pretty mediocre itself, but located beside the gorgeous sea."

"The environment is very beautiful. There is a little black cat basking in the sun every morning in the small garden. The kitchen is well equipped. Our family bought local fresh ingredients from a nearby supermarket and ate hot pot directly in the B&B. Disadvantages: There is only one bathroom. Our family of five has to queue up to take a shower at night, which is a bit inconvenient. In addition, the bed is not very comfortable. The pillow is very thin. I don't sleep well."

"It's a pity that I could only see a little sea from the pool, but the room is clean and very satisfying! Hot water was available for 10,000 yen!"

"Nice house & location, easy to get there, clear, convenient to get food & store, peaceful, this is the best accommodation on our Okinawa trip, strongly recommend. 🥰"
