Beach Hotels in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan

Overall speaking, this hotel is value for money if choosing to stay in Onna Village. The ocean view is spectacular. We enjoyed it so much especially on the last day of our trip. We eventually had the blue sky and white clouds. The room is very spacious with a nice balcony! That's most precious for our holiday. Since it was early Nov, the outdoor pool was closed. We used the indoor pool which comes with a outdoor jacuzzi. That's so lovely. Regrettably, the indoor pool was not available to use until after 9:00am in the morning, that was so inconvenient for hotel guests. We normally can't swim after having a nice breakfast. There is an airport limousine at the main entrance of the hotel, that is very convenient for us because the hotel is located on the hill slope. We did not drive. So, we chose to book the limousine bus at the hotel concierge to save us time and energy to walk downhill to take the city bus after we checked out. Although it cost 5000 yens for the BBQ dinner, the variety of food is good. So, we were quite happy with the money spent on it. The breakfast buffet also provided a good selection of food especially a good selection of cooked food with local veggies as ingredients. It was worth spending HK$140 for each of us.

My stay at Hotel Vessel Okinawa was fantastic! The hotel is modern, clean, and very comfortable. The breakfast offered a good variety and quality, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The location is great, close to attractions and restaurants, making it easy to explore Okinawa. The room was spacious, quiet, and well-equipped, ensuring restful nights. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, good service, and an enjoyable experience in Okinawa.

The 888 express bus service is convenient, taking 2.5 to 3 hours to get you directly to the hotel entrance. The hotel's convenience store, however, closes rather early at 10 PM. While there's a hot spring open until 11 PM and a swimming pool on the first floor, we didn't get a chance to use the pool due to our plans to visit JUNGL IA. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, although housekeeping only replaced the towels and didn't make the bed.

An incredible hotel where everything within it: 2 swimming pools, an onsen, a konbini, a restaurant and a bar. All your needs will be filled. Great location as well with Naminoue shrine and beach nearby, and monorail around 15 by foot. But if you want to explore Okinawa further, plenty of bikes, and car rental around. And ferries to go to other islands. I will definitely come back to Okinawa and Sansui Naha hotel!

The most satisfying hotel during my Okinawa trip, got so many great photos for my life album! The breakfast buffet was also abundant, and its location is right in the heart of American Village. Highly recommend! (Though the naked hot spring bath was a bit awkward, especially for moms with 4-5 year old boys, they might feel uncomfortable going in.)

Location is fantastic if you want a nice quiet beautiful beach. It's right at your doorstep. A convenient store beside the hotel lobby. A few good eateries within walking distance. Nice room with great sea view, likely one of the best you can find (see pics). Only stayed for a night as a stop-over for our road trip. Will definitely stay here again and for a longer period.

The hot spring was fantastic! It's a natural onsen, and I enjoyed it both the night before and again in the morning. The hotel facilities are a bit dated, showing their age, but it’s conveniently located with many dining options nearby. There's also a beautiful lawn by the sea. Despite being close to the airport, the soundproofing is excellent; I didn't find it noisy at all. It’s very convenient to get to Okinawa Outlet Mall, and it’s a great place for shopping. Plus, there are direct buses from the outlet to the airport, making it a perfect last stop. You can even store your luggage at the mall while you shop. I would definitely choose to stay here again next time.

A little aged hotel but i believe they do renovate. Garden access room st main building with limited view, pool access or higher floor should have better sunset view. Good access to emerald beach anf perfect for aquarium just next to it. Breafast is ok

Good sea view and cliffs/rocks. Low tide and high tide gives you total different views. Less than 10 mins walk away is a place-gala where there is horse riding, pottery workshop, glass blowing workshop etc. Two churches at the side. Delicious breakfast/dinner buffet and Japanese cuisine.

I stayed at Southern Beach Hotel & Resort Okinawa from Oct 28–31, 2025, the hotel itself is fine, the pool is ok and the beach nearby is lovely. But I had a terrible experience with their front desk service. The night before check-out, I personally confirmed with their staff that the standard check-out time was 11:00 a.m. I politely asked if I could check out one hour later at 12:00 noon. The local Japanese staff decline it and I am all good with that and ready to get back to my room, a foreign staff member at the counter step in said “That’s fine, how many hours you need?” I relied on that confirmation say one hour is good enough for me — but when I checked out, the front desk charged me 3,300 yen for being one hour late. Even after I explained what happened, their staff were unlikely to listen and repeating their hotel policy very impatiently. I later send out a email to their leadership to escalate and received and receive the feedback from their manager denying everything, even though it was clearly a miscommunication among their own staff. It’s shocking that a so-called “resort” treats guests this way. Fortunately, Trip.com reviewed my complaint and refunded me in Trip Coins, but the hotel itself never admitted their mistake nor sincerely apologized. There are many hotels in Okinawa that actually respect their guests. But regret that I don’t feel it here at this resort.
