“This hotel certainly sits on prime real estate, directly fronting Emerald Beach and with easy access to both the Ocean Expo Park and Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium; yet, the overall experience seems uneven, with potential overcrowding from school trips and tour buses impacting the dining options. While the location can't be beat, a stay here requires managing expectations.”

This hotel is a perfect retreat if you're on a group tour, providing a nice atmosphere and beautiful views. However, if you're traveling independently, you might find the dining options quite limited. The rooms are spacious but could have been cleaner, while the breakfast offers a great variety. There are nice facilities, but the spa was closed during my visit, which was disappointing.

This hotel caters primarily to tour groups, which can make dining options limited if you're not part of a tour. While the rooms were generally neat and the breakfast was plentiful, we encountered some cleanliness issues and a lack of dining variety. The pool facilities were decent, but the location felt a bit isolated without a car.

I had a lovely stay at Orion Motobu Resort, where I enjoyed stunning sea views from my balcony and a tasty breakfast. The eco-friendly rooms were spacious and clean, though I missed a gym and room service. The location is fantastic, especially for exploring nearby attractions, but dining options felt limited since it caters heavily to tour groups.

The hotel caters heavily to tour groups, which might be great if you're part of one, but it leaves individual guests with limited restaurant options. While our room looked nice, we encountered some cleanliness issues, such as sand on the floor and an unpleasant sofa smell. On the upside, breakfast offered plenty of options, and the hotel has a clean pool area. If you're looking for a quiet getaway, this might not be the ideal choice due to the large groups.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the view from my room was stunning and the breakfast options were plentiful, it's quite evident that the hotel caters primarily to large tour groups, which can be a bit overwhelming. The dining options for non-tour guests are limited, and the cleanliness of the room left something to be desired.
