Monterey Hotels in Onna

The location is decent, a bit far from Onna Village itself, which makes it much quieter. Walking around here feels like Chiang Mai many years ago – laid-back, with very few commercial establishments, and peaceful. There aren't many restaurants on the street right outside the hotel (the Okinawan restaurant directly opposite isn't good! Don't go there). Remember to make reservations in advance; we couldn't get into any place during dinner time and ended up eating at FamilyMart 🫠. As for the hotel, being by the sea, it's probably a bit humid. The hallway had a slight musty smell, and the common areas were just okay, not particularly refined for a Hilton-level establishment. The breakfast offered a decent plant-based local yogurt; everything else was pretty standard. The kids' play area closes quite early, at 8:30 PM. It's great for very young children, but for a 2-year-old, it closes too soon, as it was already shut by the time we finished dinner and came back. The beach has quite a lot of coarse sand and pebbles. It's advisable to wear beach shoes, otherwise, it can be a bit rough on the feet. However, the 'jellyfish' sea is still beautiful. Being able to see the stunning sunset from the room made it all worthwhile. There aren't many activities for kids under 3. The glass-bottom boat tour to see fish wasn't expensive, but honestly, we didn't see anything. For a 2-year-old, it was just a boat ride.
