Motobu Beach Vacations

My family and I spent two nights at the Orion hotel, I had higher expectations for the hotel based on the photos and the reviews but the hotel felt dated and I was also disappointed that there was as no AC on our floor and throughout other areas of the hotel. Check in and check out was easy but our room was very warm upon arrival and although the AC was working properly…it was not very strong so I was able to get a little electric fan to help keep it cooler. beds were a bit firm but slept fine. The breakfast buffet was not bad but does get very busy and hectic. we didn’t have to wait too long and the food was ok. we did enjoy the pool and close distance to the aquarium and close by spots we wanted to visit. the creative center at the bottom of the hotel was also fun in the evening and my daughter was able to paint a shark. overall not a bad hotel but would consider other options next time in okinawa.

Pros: Super affordable, with stove and fridge and laundry machine to use included. Air drying racks provided (but hard to dry in Okinawan humidity during tsuyu season). Amazing view. Can walk to the huge aquarium and Expo park with amazing Okinawan style village and old homes. Separate bathroom and shower/bath area. Cons: Not quite as clean as some top hotels. No coin dryer on site that I could find. Need car to get around, convenience store is not super close and could walk but we always drove.

The ultimate spot in the Sessoko / Nago / Moroni area for access to the water. All dining options nearby close early so be prepared for that wherever you stay in this area.
