Hotels With Pools in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan

Overall, I don’t think I would stay here again. Maybe it is worth to spend a night or two here. Details below: During my 6D5N trip, I have stayed in different hotels. This hotel had the most expensive parking by far. It was ¥2000 / night. Also the parking was a bit inconvenient since the parking area uses an elevator-system and you need a staff to operate the parking system machine to get your car each time you need to use your car. There were a lot of families with young children during my stay, not the best place if you’re looking for a quiet place to relax. There were also only 2 elevators so sometimes it takes a long time to wait for the elevators due to the crowd. The hotel provides a lot of amenities, including some daily activities from 17:00-18:00, noodles from 20:30-21:30, and free flow drinks from 10:00-22:00 (no free laundry tho). I got to try the traditional outfit dress up session, it was a good experience to quickly try on the Okinawan-style kimono. Just a personal preference, I did find their soaps and skin care products heavily scented, which I wasn’t a fan of.

In the afternoon, the hotel provides complimentary welcome drinks like soft drinks and popsicles. Signing up with your email gets you a free gift (you can choose from six options); I picked the Awamori, which was a great choice. The complimentary promotional flyer also included a voucher for a free face mask and a 10% discount at the Ryukyu Onsen mask shop located right next door. There are lots of special perks and promotions available. There's a counter downstairs at the hotel where you can book various activities, such as snorkeling. The onsen area in the main building is smaller compared to the annex. A great feature is that the women's onsen in the annex includes a sauna. They also rotate the onsen bath scents weekly. Breakfast offered a very generous and wide selection, even including ice cream. My only minor critique is that many options were carb-heavy (rice, noodles), which felt like a bit of a carb overload. The salad bar was also a bit limited, mostly cabbage. Accessing the upper floors requires a room key, which enhances security. Ice machines and washing machines are also available and very convenient. Sunset Beach is just a short walk across a bridge from the hotel. The Chatan area also offers a free shuttle bus service, making it easy to visit Aeon Mall and catch a movie at the adjacent cinema.

100% will want to stay here again. A very new and nice hotel. Great amenities, nice room space and decorations. Staff were friendly. Public bath within the hotel. Thoughtful enough to provide slippers for room and within hotel use to walk to the public bath. Free welcome drink tickets with a range of alcoholic & non alcoholic drinks to choose from. Huge carpark at the side of the hotel with a huge convenience store (family mart) right in front. Huge plus for those who doesn't want to eat in the hotel and too lazy to drive out of the compound for food.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, making it easy to explore the area. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. A special shoutout to Koroda, who assisted us with check-in—best service ever! The room was beautiful, offering a stunning view of the sea, which made our stay even more relaxing. The onsen was clean and comfortable, providing a truly refreshing experience. And don’t miss the breakfast—it’s delicious and definitely worth the money paid. Highly recommended, and I would love to stay here again! Let me know if you’d like any tweaks!

Really nice location to go Aquarium. Clean and easy check in process. Plently of parking next to hotel for free for guests. Unfortunately we go during early Jan winter time so the outdoor pool is closed, but the indoor heated pool is reasonable size for kids to play and change room inside to change it. The room is spacious and clean ♡ ♡ our futon bedding kids ♡ ♡ it. When check in they gave us 2 sets of kids toiletries bags (kids slipper, tooth brush, and small face towel) to keep. The sunset view from my room is so beautiful and theres tea/ coffee machine, kettle to use in room. Different type of jap glass cups for toiletries. Bath tub in shower room bonus point. The only down side is I wish the breakfast has more choices(eg. Cooked vege) stayed for 2 nights felt not much difference. For location i recommend to stay here as its near aquarium. Not much restaurants nearby so either finish dinner outside or buy bentos/instant noodles to bring into hotel.

Very good experience. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. They are willing to go the extra mile to make one's journey smooth. The swimming pool is awesome, and enough lifeguards are there to make everyone safe. Oriental is not the only hotel we visited this time, and I would say their standard room is big when compared with the other same grade hotels. One thing to highlight is the varied cuisines at the grill restaurant, value for money. Overall, we would recommend this hotel to anyone we know, especially families. Would like to visit again.

Large hotel with spacious rooms, though a bit dated but clean and well maintained. Nice beach and great sea views from the rooms. But there are many limitations, especially for foreign tourists and those without a car. First of all, this place is rather remote, though not very far from Naha city but getting there will take about 2 hours on the Airport Hotel limousine bus , fare is ¥1430 per person, and there are not many services per day, if you miss the bus, you have to walk 30 minutes to Yomitan village to take the public bus, which takes more than 2 hours to Naha, or pay through your nose with taxi which costs more than ¥12,000. Almost none of the staff are able to converse in English effectively, reception staff will need to translate with an I pad and show the translation to customers. Being a large international resort hotel , they are extremely strict with the check in time, our limo bus arrived at about 1.30pm , when we asked to be checked in ,the reception staff said ok, but she told me ”early in 3000”, which I couldn't understand initially, she later showed me on her I pad , which displayed ” early check in fee ¥3000 for 1 hour”, there is no way to get a check in on arrival without paying a fee if you arrive early, even when the rooms are ready- which is unthinkable for anywhere else in the world ! It appeared that all guests arriving early decided to wait in the lobby till 3pm. Guests were not even offered any welcome drink, which was unthinkable for a resort hotel. Each room here cost more than ¥30,000 per night . Many other cons , which are rather unacceptable for foreign tourists- All the TV channels are in Japanese. Rather far away from any eating places , and not many choices. In rooms - the aircond cannot be set lower than 22 degree C , there is no shower cap and spoon provided.

Amazing hotel. The staff is very polite and attentive The room is very bright and spacious. The breakfast was very good, the both restaurants - Japanese and Italian - was quite good, but it's not really big so there is a line. Also take out option is available in Paseo Garden restaurant. Aqua zone have two swimming pools the indoors and the outdoors one. Guests may purchase sauna and sento ticket for 550 ¥. The hotel located in 600 m from Ginawan beach, it takes about 10 mins to get there. Hotel souvenir shop has variety of custom and fabric things, prices are normal. I advice you to buy souvenirs here There are several cafés and convenient stores nearby.

Lives up to the hype! Absolutely amazing! 🏨 Hotel Monterey Ambiance: Elegant, wood-paneled 'old money' aesthetic. The attention to detail is remarkable – even the waiting areas for the restaurant and the smoking room offer sea views. The pool area is flanked by Tiger Beach on one side (which houses an activity club and restaurant on its ground floor) and a charming white chapel on the other. Tiger Beach offers a wide array of water activities, making it easy to keep the kids entertained without ever leaving the hotel. While the QR codes on the promotional posters are for booking activities starting the next day, you can book same-day activities directly at the on-site club. We personally booked our glass-bottom boat tour and jet ski rides this way. The main draw here is that you barely need to leave the resort. The pool is also fantastic for kids, featuring slides and a trampoline. My son bounced on that trampoline for an entire day and still wasn't tired! Children under 12 must be accompanied by a guardian *in the water* – just watching from the side isn't enough. Otherwise, a staff member will soon approach with a sign asking, 'Otou-san (Dad), where are you?' In July and August, there's a 3-minute fireworks display at Tiger Beach every other day at 8:45 PM. Make sure to head down to the beach, as you won't be able to see it from the balconies of the premium rooms. I foolishly thought I could see it from afar, but when it started, I had to dash to the elevator lobby just to catch a glimpse. The experience from the beach would undoubtedly be much better. 🍽️ Dining: The breakfast spread is incredibly lavish! Remember to scan the QR code to get a queue number in advance. Because breakfast was so impressive, we decided to book the buffet dinner, which unfortunately was a huge disappointment. There wasn't much worth eating, and it frankly paled in comparison to breakfast. Soft drinks are an extra charge, and an hour of alcoholic drinks costs 2800 JPY (all-you-can-drink). One dinner set us back roughly 10,000 JPY, which felt overpriced. However, after a full day of water activities, we were too exhausted to venture out, so we just put up with it. There are numerous restaurants just outside the hotel, but it's advisable to go early or make a reservation beforehand, as walk-ins almost always face a wait.

The room was quite spacious, easily one of the biggest I've stayed in at a Japanese hotel, and the free onsen made for a very comfortable stay. There's a beach nearby with a designated swimming area. While transportation is fairly convenient, it does require a bit of a walk to reach public transport stops. Picking up drinks at the convenience store and enjoying them with friends as we explored the surroundings was a real highlight.
