Motobu hotellia

Plussat: very friendly staff

Miinukset: too far from airport, 2 hrs drive

Plussat: The location was amazing

Miinukset: No room service. When we got there it was around lunchtime and the restaurants were all reservation based. After a long day of travel room service while setteling in would of been ideal.

Plussat: Nice stay, breakfast is good, the environment is clean and comfortable.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Room was spacious and very clean, breakfast buffet was also exceptional.

Plussat: The rooms are huge and the breakfast was amazing

Plussat: healing kindness clean near to beach

Miinukset: shuttle bus time&route

Plussat: Very nice view! Don't forget free drinks for guests.

Miinukset: Not very fluent in English communication

Plussat: The location being near to aquarium and park, and hotel facilities

Miinukset: NO TV PROGRAMMES /CHANEL FOR ENGLISH- SPEAKING GUEST

Plussat: The location is perfect! Room is clean and comfort! Staff is friendly and provide the support when you need! Spa is excellent, hot spring is also good!

Miinukset: Entertainment is only available from 2pm to 9pm! It would be good if the entertainment also available in the morning and noon!

Plussat: It’s pretty nice the location is right next to the sea and the swimming pool were super nice! The room also pretty clean and spacious!

Miinukset: The parking management was poor , I have to drive al the way down to the hill to park and walk all the way up with my parents ( which is not suitable for older people) and the staff barely speaking English at the front door.

Plussat: Close to the aquarium, friendly staff.

Miinukset: Had a room in the old building, had a bit of a worn down touch, I bet thats way nicer in the bigger newer part. Tried to wash and dry our clothes - no instructions so we tried with google translate - in the end the dryer didnt realy work.

Plussat: Good location, new decoration, the kitchen is good with all cooking equipment. The environment is quiet too.

Miinukset: Always no staff during morning period. Also, the floor is not clean enough.

Plussat: The amenities were all good and new. It was really convenient to have the washing machine and dryer during the typhoon season where there was no sun. The rental bicycles were useful for short trip. Staff was really helpful when they helped us to clarify insurance issues.

Miinukset: Bed was so soft that there wasn't any support at all for our back. It felt like sleeping on a sponge bed. The bed shifted around because it was so light.

Plussat: It’s very near to aquarium

Miinukset: It’s very difficult to find hotel and road kinda be your trouble if you drive to hotel

Plussat: Staffs are very nice. All facilities are great. Feel like home.

Plussat: Friendly staffs and clean room.

Miinukset: Need to walk quite far to the resort.

Plussat: We stayed at the new apartment with good facilities for basic cooking and laundry. It is in close proximity to Churaumi Aquarium and we managed to rent free bikes to visit the aquarium :) Great for overnight stay!

Plussat: I left my key in the mailbox at 10:30 a.m. Thank you very much for your service.

Plussat: The service is top notch. The check in was smooth and though the staff speak limited English ....they actually use translation app in the mobile to communicate with us. Give them tips but the manager came to give me back and explained that it’s not their culture to accept tips.....truly surprised but thumb up. I requested for following day set up of barbecue equipment, the staff did more than the usual by getting more portable LED lamp to light up the barbecue area, also getting a brand new barbecue kit with fire starter/tongs/wire mesh etc.....and they didn’t charge us anything for the preparation. This will be my 1st choice of stay the next time I come to Motobu .... definitely soon.

Plussat: Hotelli oli uusi ja todella siisti

Miinukset: Ruokapaikkoja ei ollut saatavilla aivan lähellä.

Plussat: The property has amazing ocean view.

Miinukset: Every thing was perfect.

Plussat: The staff is very accommodating,, the room is perfect and clean,, the view is amazing! It’s very peaceful ,,, it’s a very good place to relax ,

Plussat: The staff was amazing, they knew which room we were in and made sure we had breakfast setup for next morning. Breakfast was really well rounded and delicious.

Miinukset: Would've been nice if they had a bar area, where we could just have a couple of drinks in lobby area and chill out.

Plussat: The hotel is on top of the hill with good Mountain View. Yuka, the staff at the front desk is very helpful and her English is very good. We were very lucky that she was on duty on the day that we needed her help.

Miinukset: Western breakfast is simple but boring. Japanese breakfast is better. They served us western BF on day 1&2, Japanese BF on day 3.

Plussat: Very cozy hotel. Enjoyable stay.

Miinukset: The hotel is not included in car navigation system. Google map needed to locate the hotel. Might be good if mapcode available.

Plussat: This is a cosy spot in the middle of nowhere, recommended to stay here if you have a rental car because it is quite remote. One of the cheapest stays around the area because you pay low prices for communal living. The facilities are generally clean, the (5?) rooms share 2 of everything - showers, toilets and sinks. Everything was quite clean, I stayed here for two nights and I didn’t have to wait for anything. Free snorkeling gear rental available. The host was kind and friendly, showed us around the facilities when we checked in and even let me play with the Japanese traditional music instrument. The room’s furnishing is simple and sufficient. For what you’re paying, it is good value for money.

Miinukset: The twin room that I stayed in had a rollaway bed and a real bed - the rollaway bed was ok for short stays. The bedding situation was a little confusing as well as there were no additional sheets atop the mattress pads. The room was a little too dim for my liking with the single warm light and a tiny desk LED lamp.

Plussat: EVERYTHING!!! Wonderful place! Comfortable, clean. Very tasty food! Walking distance to the beach, oceanarium, airport shuttle bus stop. The hosts are kind, joyful, friendly. When I accidentally broke my leg, the hosts helped me a lot, rendered first aid! When I come to Okinawa again, I will definitely stay here! I recommend this place to everyone!

Miinukset: High dampness, humidity, but I think this is normal for housing on the island.

Plussat: Good for money. Pretty far out from the city so it's really chill. Hosts were really nice.

Miinukset: Bed not too comfortable, a little shakey. Curtain kinda see-through, so it's not very private.

Plussat: The guesthouse is located about 5-10 mins uphill walk from Hotel Orion Resort and Spa. It's in a quiet farming community. Even though all the rooms are for guests, everyone is very cognizant of quiet time and privacy. The guesthouse has a kitchen where you can use. The owner's wife cooks Japanese breakfast, lunch or dinner. The place is clean, quiet, and relaxing. It's good value for money.

Miinukset: Nothing I didn't like but I do want to point out that the wifi signal is weak in the bedroom. It's good in the common area. The location is out in the farming area so if you don't have a car, you'll have to walk or arrange for a pick up which the owner or the caretaker is happy to do so.

Plussat: Cery nice and comfy, feel like home guesthouse

Miinukset: There's no towel provided

Plussat: Thank you so much for the owner and the other staff. They are very friendly and helpful.

Plussat: From the closest bus stop it can found easily because there are sign posts. The staff is friendly. They don't speak English, however the most common tasks can be discussed (check in, food, etc.), also there are English instructions on everything. The rooms with few beds are convenient: I was alone the whole time, so I had my privacy and I got to control the AC (it was cold outside, but good temperature inside).

Miinukset: It is not in the vicinity of anything worth visiting. Though some tourist spot can be reached with an easy walk. The surrounding is rather rural (in the middle of an agricultural land). The WiFi was rather bad. It disconnected many times, and it was slow as well.

Plussat: The owner's wife cooks a solid dinner The location: you're close to the aquarium The bedrooms were spacious and had their own AC

Miinukset: There isn't much to do in the hostel There were some bugs

Plussat: Kind, clean, quiet

Miinukset: Everything is good

Plussat: What to say about? It is so cheap but outstanding on things u get! Its easy super clean fast wifi and a super dood as a host! Would always come back!!!! Just the futons are though if u r not used it :)

Miinukset: Nothing to complain at all.

Plussat: I love the feeling of being idyllic and quiet here. My room was big and clean. I felt that I’m home.

Miinukset: They ask 5 % charge for credit card payment.

Plussat: Great location, super close to the aquarium and easy to travel around. We used buses and it was convenient so if you have a car it should be perfect. The bedroom was bigger than we expected. Many equiment in the kitchen and last but not least : staff is very kind and helpful !

Plussat: The owner was superfriendly. He took me to a bus station after the check-out. He got all the information about things you can do near that place. Everything was clean and the kitchen was well equiped. Highly recomended.

Miinukset: No service mind Can't speak English

Plussat: Comfortable safe place to stay. Good aircon!

Miinukset: It’s quite a long walk up the hill from the bus stop with luggage, especially when it’s hot and humid.

Plussat: I loved it here! I slept so well, it truly feels like a modern Japan comfort home a hidden gem tucked in the hills of Okinawa super close to Lawsons and the aquarium. Taka and Aska are super nice and helpful at check-in.

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff who speaks excellent English! Facilities available for cooking. Room is spacious with good size bed. Emerald beach is walking distance from hotel. Family mart is across the road. Aquarium is opposite.

Miinukset: Location far from bus stop at ocean park or Orion hotel. However, the owner may pick you up if he’s available. Road is dark with no street lights at night.

Plussat: We stayed in a Japanese room, really nice.

Plussat: Great service, free mask/snorkels for the guests to use. The room we got had a jacuzzi tub. Great sea view.

Miinukset: Was expecting the beach to be at the doorstep, but it's across a road. No big deal, still woke up to great seaviews.

Plussat: All! Cleanliness and location

Miinukset: Not easy to spot even though it is along the road, no 24 hours counter and staff could not really speak English

Plussat: Bathtab

Miinukset: No free plane water

Plussat: The atmosphere is very 'countryside-ish' and relaxing (quiet/peaceful); the restaurant (also the check-in area) has a Hawaiian feel to it, and it is very clean; the balcony from the restaurant area has a beautiful view of the ocean, and there is a private beach (about 20m in length and a 1-minute walk away), which is for the guests; the room was very clean, and the outside sitting area has a hammock and a picnic table, which are both very comfortable and relaxing; the food is also amazing (I suggest the Mix Pizza!); the staff are also very friendly (it's run by a family: dad, mom, & 2 sons). If you want to get out of the city and relax in a quiet, peaceful atmosphere, this place is excellent! And it's only a 10-minute drive to Sesoko Beach.

Miinukset: There are bugs, obviously, it's in the countryside, but they give you bug spray.

Plussat: The family that run Ma Blue are wonderful. The room was spacious and decorated nicely with a beautiful ocean view. Everything at the cafe and bakery was delicious, and they were very accomodating for a vegetarian. Thankyou!

Miinukset: Nothing, but you will need a car to get there and around

Plussat: Staff are very kind, beautiful location, and the breakfast was awesome!

Miinukset: Uncomfortable bathtub.

Plussat: The hotel is managed by a family, each of them are just amazing people. They have the sense of hospitality, just because of them we would go back there. At the restaurant everything is homemade.

Miinukset: This negative comment is actually for them to improve themselves because this family just deserve the best. In our room the air mattress was not comfortable. The menu at the restaurant was very good just a few selections of salad and soup is missing.

Plussat: Friendly staff and nice location away from the busy life of Naha (but you should have a car of you count getting here) 10 min drive from the aquarium Unfortunately the weather was not that great so cannot say about the beaches around

Plussat: The style of the room was really cute and comfy. Staff was great and room was really clean. Nice view from the balcony. I loved the swing chair in the room. Bed was a lot softer than I had anticipated.

Miinukset: I wish there had been more food options nearby but it wasn’t anything against the venue itself. More parking would have been nice, we came back at one point and didn’t really have anywhere to park.

Plussat: Food at restaurant is very very delicious

Miinukset: Could have provide more toilet paper and tissue paper.

Plussat: Very close to emerald beach and aquarium. Perfect location.

Miinukset: Many ants bursting around. Has cemetery right across the street (no offense)

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: Small swimming pool

Plussat: everything is OK.

Plussat: Good for children.

Miinukset: Too isolated

Plussat: The location is good as it is just next to the aquarium.

Miinukset: The booking info at the hotel was not match to my booking, and the staff there are not helpful and stubborn. The washing machine inside our room is not working well. There were ants on the desk and on the bed. Staff needs more training.

Plussat: The breakfast buffet was good and the staff were very nice. Little touches like a lady set (hair tie, cotton swab, cotton pad) for the bathroom was nice. Beautiful view from the pool area. Too bad the pool was so cold.

Miinukset: Room smelled like smoke and carpet was lifting. Tripped a few times in the room due to that old worn down carpet. Tried to order drinks but the bar was closed. The same day, for some reason, the restaurant was not serving alcohol.

Plussat: The location is located nearby scene sport. The lee are restaurants open late till midnight within driving distance.

Miinukset: The swimming pool is in maintenance but we were not noticed in advanced when we made the booking. Our booking were made 2-4 weeks beforehand. No elevator.

Plussat: Very clean and neat facility. Staff was really friendly, professional and helpful. Always eager to provide assistance.

Miinukset: Some mild rude guests here and there but nothing too disturbing.

Plussat: very closed to the aquarium and the emerald beach, good for family trip. beautiful room, spatial and high ceiling

Miinukset: no hanging rack for wet towel, food is so-so and the buffet has very limited food selection, not like Japanese standard

Plussat: Friendly helpful staff. Very new and comfortable room for our family. Great to have washing machine in the room.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: hotel is clean and the customer service is very good. It'S quite near to the aquarium

Miinukset: NOT many choices for lunch cause no restaurants near the hotel except 2 in another hotel nearby. But these 2 are too popular so you have to order at least 1 day ealier otherwsie wait for 2 hours if directly go

Plussat: The room with tatami area is large. The seaview from the room is excellent. Large outdoor area for the children.

Miinukset: It would be less disappointment if the room rate and additional costs are showed more clearly in advance. Carpet cleanness to be improved.

Plussat: Motobu Genki Village

Miinukset: Noise-free guestrooms cannot be guaranteed.

Plussat: The location near the dolphin pond and the sea. The sunset view over the sea. The spacious room.

Miinukset: Not really.

Plussat: Nice view, lot of activity for kid. My family really enjoy the place. Breakfast is good and they have kid’s cooking corner.

Plussat: The facilities in the hotel premise. There is a restaurant, public bath, kids play area, animals, dolphin lagoon, and sea sports center.

Miinukset: The front desk wasn’t very clear of the program the sea sports center has to offer. However they were helpful in taking in our reservation so that we can enjoy the program the next morning. They have a promotion (purchase 3 program on the same day at a packaged price) which we weren’t informed and they refuse to be flexible in extending this price to us. The rooms are rather dated and in need of a refurbishment.

Plussat: The room is spacious, the view is beautiful, we can saw the dolphin jumping in the sea. I love the seawater pool, this is my first time so close to the sea turtle without the barrier of glass.

Miinukset: The wifi is not available in the room. The swimming pool opens in the afternoon, we could not use it in the morning before checking out.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Spacious room, public bath, great breakfast with view

Miinukset: Unfortunately, the swimming pool was closed during our visit.

Plussat: We traveled with a little 2 year-old-boy and really appreciated with facilities prepared for kids. They prepared the small pyjamas for him, and there were a big area with outdoors activities and also the sand pit! For breakfast, they also prepared a large cooking table for the kids to enjoy their own meal. It's a good place for the whole families.

Miinukset: The building and facilities are little bit old but overall functions are in good conditions.

Plussat: Breakfast was ok.

Miinukset: The room was old and facilities like the indoor pool and sauna was in a terrible state. I paid for 3 person but was given 2 beds and the other person had to sleep on tatami which we had to lay the mattress and bed linens ourselves. So I felt I was being overcharged for the room! There was no wifi in the room and restaurants, only in the lobby.

Plussat: The location is great. It is very near the Aquarium, Starbucks and a few restaurants. We love the outdoor pool. Too bad it closes a little bit early, 7 p.m., when there is still much daylight left. The indoor pool is ok. The public bath is very nice. We really enjoyed it. The view from the hotel is beautiful.

Miinukset: Upon pulling into the hotel driveway, there was no one greeting us. We didn’t know where to park our vehicle. I understand. We arrived at 2 p.m. Once checked in, it would have been nice if we were offered some cold drink while wait for our room to be ready. I have stayed at many Japanese hotels. Almost all of them, the staff are very nice and attentive. The staff at Mahaina Wellness Resort need a little improvement in their customer service area. The restaurants are pricey. We ate there our first night. The remaining times, We went somewhere else. The rooms definitely need good upgrades. They are a bit old. The art and crafts lady at the lobby charges too much money for supplies. We spent almost ¥6000 for few art items. Final thing, we don’t like the fact that the door to the room is facing outside.

Plussat: The room is spacious. Kids love the tatami area. The food court nearby was great with good food and drinks selection. I

Miinukset: The room was somewhat old. Did not meet my expectations given the high price.

Plussat: Location was great! Many eating / food places within walking distance. (Great food too!) Very clean! Good breakfast!

Miinukset: No cutlery if you wanted dinner in your room! (Only negative for my family!)

Miinukset: noisy room from next room. It is similar for old condos

Plussat: The staff is so nice

Miinukset: The mattress is too hard

Plussat: Amazing service even during the last typhoon that passed through Okinawa. The hotel prepared an exceptional routine for rooms as all were locked and no cleaning was possible, offered lunch (good options and prices) as we had no place to go or was basically impossible to leave the hotel.

Miinukset: I was really frustrated when I realised that the beach was around 30min walk distance. The hotel description says 'beachfront', one of the main conditions I choosed it.

Plussat: Very big room and beautiful swimming pool.

Miinukset: I had a lot of luggages, but no one helped until I made a complaint about their old cart. But they explained about the issue and ver polite.

Plussat: The room is spacious and clean

Plussat: Nice lounge bar and pool

Plussat: This place was great. Me and my lady instantly fell in love with the view. The pool was great and the food was exceptional. Actually it’s best to just eat there because the restaurants next door are not worthy. And my friend YOKA was one of the friendliest staff members I’ve ever met. His smile was as bright as the sun, and he accommodated all of our issues. He made it a better stay.

Miinukset: Spiders. Not big ones though. They go away once they know someone is in the room. But that’s pretty much the entire island of Okinawa..

Plussat: Erittäin siisti ja oikein viehättävä allasalue. Aamiainen hyvä ja monipuolinen. Ystävällinen palvelu.

Plussat: The manager was nice, the rooftop / terrace, each bed has a fan.

Miinukset: The place wasn't very clean, it's quite hard to find (if you don't have a car, don't even bother, it's too far from any point of interest), and worst of all, someone (the manager?) smoked in the kitchen in the morning, but the door to the dorm is not solid, so we could smell the cigarette (it woke us up). This is not right.

Plussat: It was close to the Ocean Park, but that was all that was good

Miinukset: It was hard to find, the kitchen was full of old dusty stuff - felt unckean. Only one bathroom and one toilett.

Plussat: Nice homely feel. Kind owner.

Miinukset: No staff were around until 19:00 (which was fine). Small place with just 1 toilet/shower. There's no shops nearby, and the restaurant recommendation was closed when we got there.

Plussat: The owner is super nice and helpfull The place is very cosy and traditional

Miinukset: Can be a bit more clean Difficult to reach Nothing much to do around or any shop, so buy your food before

Plussat: I liked it. We had family in town a chose to stay here 3 days. Excellent location.

Miinukset: Hard to get to beach from rooms. A nicer path wine good.

Plussat: Cleanliness, and location of this property is incredible.

Miinukset: I am not sure it is clear for everyone that it is not a classic "hotel" but more some appartement renting. there is a big kitchen with all necessary furniture to eat and make our own food. No towel included in the price, but possible to rent on place (100 yen for the whole stay)

Plussat: The bathrooms were recently renovated so they were fine. It was pretty spacious and the table was useful, and the balcony was nice to have, although it could use some furniture.

Miinukset: The property was quite old, and there was mold on the sliding screens. There were some bugs in the room, not roaches from what we could tell, but something... It was not a comfortable space to stay in and was disappointing because I had paid less the night before for a much nicer room in a better location. I think I got stuck in the oldest building (the hotel has 3 separate buildings on the property), so maybe the other ones are better, but I would definitely not stay there again.

Plussat: It was near the sea, the view was beautiful, the room was wide and the room has tatami space aside from the two beds. Breakfast was nice and sound of the sea during night time was really relaxing. : )

Miinukset: I was just a little worried about the cracks on the roof ^^;

Plussat: Location was great, gorgeous Sesako beach was only a short drive. The view of the ocean was lovely.

Plussat: Big room but no have towel.

Miinukset: No have towel

Plussat: Location excellent, close to expo park, aquarium, emerald beach, lawsons for cheap eats. Coin laundry in hotel handy. Room was spacious but hotel is very old and run down. Our room had a musty smell. Cleaning of room was not daily.

Miinukset: Hotel run down

Plussat: Nice sea viee (except cemetery). Good location.

Miinukset: I've planned stay there 4 nights, but escaped after the first night and disgusting breakfast. Very old hotel with smell of ages and stains on the walls. View to the cemetery.

Plussat: The location and spacious room

Miinukset: Simply renovation can improve a great deal the attractiveness of the hotel.

Plussat: Although it wasn't the newest of accommodations the fact that we could sleep on the tatami floor with the mattress and our infant son was a huge place. The location was a stone's throw to the aquarium which meant we could take our time at breakfast and still have great parking. The breakfast had traditional Japanese food and was delicious.

Miinukset: The room smelled musty and old. Something could have been done to remedy this.

Plussat: Nice variety at the buffet breakfast. Spacious room.

Miinukset: Facilities alittle run down. We

Plussat: It was very close to Churaumi Aquarium and Ocean Expo Park. We were also upgraded to a larger room that very comfortably accommodated 4 adults.

Miinukset: Not the fault of the hotel, but because of the typhoon we weren’t able to take advantage of the public bath that was offered.

Plussat: Right opposite the Aquarium Big room with gorgeous sea views Free usage of affiliated Hotel’s bath

Miinukset: The hotel corridors are so old and dirty. Looks creepy Desperately need a fresh coat of paint The room is very smelly. Thankful there’s a air purifier, but still smells

Plussat: the location

Miinukset: the staff

Plussat: Big room, comfortable bed, sea view

Miinukset: trash that destroyed the sea view, smell in the room because of the mold, facilities were not really up to date but in general ok,

Plussat: Nice and beautiful scenery.

Plussat: The room on the 4th floor was very nice

Miinukset: Not to have breakfast included in the price.
