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."

"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."

"February 2026 I'm not sure why the negative reviews, but as a couple, we thought the hotel was great! It's a room to stay, of course having the most updated facilities would be great, but are you really worried about that so much? In any case, decorations aside, the beds were comfy and there was a lot of space in the room. The bathroom was great and there's an anti-fog spot right next to the sink so that was nice. I guess the only ”complaint” was that sometimes the shower water was inconsistent, but because we shower together, it was kind of a nice ”you get your turn and I get mine” There's a small fridge which was good to store drinks and some snacks for the hikes we had in the area. The location was good for us as we spent a lot of time driving around the north part of the island. It had a decent view of the seaside. The pool wasn't filled as it was winter during our stay, but honestly it was fine. Sure, not a bar in the actual hotel, but who would really want to go and get overpriced drinks in ANY hotel anyway? We did the breakfast package, and honestly thought there were plenty to get. A little mix of east and west, but it was a great start to each of our days. Maybe a little overpriced, but still good. We did one dinner night, that was probably over-priced, BUT it was all you can eat on some great slices of beef. Lots of desserts and different types of food. There was also a small selection of spirits and drinks that you could have with your meal. Other than that, it was a nice stay. Service was great. Would stay again if I was doing a similar itinerary, but since we did most of everything we wanted to in the area, would probably stay in a different area anyway."

"Big n nice hotel n convenient.Downstair have food court n nearby aquarium. AirPort Express bus 888 To Naha city n airport just opposite building. Love the hotel with nice sea view n onsen."

"The hotel is quite far from the city, which makes it feel like a true resort—you really get that vacation vibe here. Unfortunately, there’s no sauna, which feels a little unusual. Without a car, getting around can be tricky, so driving is almost essential. On the bright side, the hotel is located in Northern Okinawa Main Island, close to plenty of attractions such as Sesoko Island, Kouri Island, and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. The bathroom amenities had a soothing fragrance that added to the stay, though the shampoo felt a bit drying. Special thanks to Shyam at the front desk—he was very welcoming and greeted us with a big smile, which made the stay even more enjoyable."

"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 room was large and amenities were available, and it was very comfortable to spend. The pool was beautiful and it was good to be able to lend beach balls for free. If you leave the door open, such as gecko, you will come in immediately, so be careful if you are not good at insects. (I didn't care) The key points were cleaned cleanly, but the windows and fine places facing the pool were quite dirty and it was a pity. However, when I went to Okinawa again, it was a facility that I was satisfied enough to ask."

"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!"

"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."
