This was probably the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The place was spotless, the view was amazing and the staff were very helpful. I missed when we had to go and would love to go back some day. Only slight negatives are expensive lunch/dinner options, but there are many other options within walking distance. If you have the means definitely go here.

the hotel was located next to Expo park, close to fukugi naimiki and beach. it was very nice to walk around. The spa was nice, but it wasn’t included; paid extra. Amenity was very basic. the worst thing was they accepted school trip; high school kids were all over the hotel that we didn’t expect. If you are okay to deal with young kids, then the hotel is good. But we don’t think we will stay there again.

one of the few okinawa properties that let you swim at its oceanfront property. beautiful property. lots of parking, walking distance to the aquarium and village. Beaches have on staff life guards. hotel restaurants require reservations which fill up fast. annoying some are booked before checkin. checkin does not offer help with reservations. free orion welcome drinks is a very nice.

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.

This is one of those hotels that has those giant tour buses come in. There is only one restaurant that does not do course menu, and this restaurant gets booked by the tour buses, so your only options to eat at the hotel are to pay 8000 yen for dinner unless you want to just eat pizza at the Italian restaurant. The Orion bar does not have real food.
Normally this wouldn't matter except the hotel is in sort of an isolated area, so your other options for dinner/lunch are pretty limited. Luckily there is a Family mart nearby for necessities.
Our room appeared to look nice, however, the floor was covered in sand, and the sofa smelled very bad. Luckily they had slippers and we just ended up sitting on our beds for our trip.
The pool was clean. Please note that the infinity pool is limited only to guests staying in the club wing, but that was fine since the pool downstairs was nice enough.

I recently stayed with my family of 4. We loved our room - beds were comfy, loved the balcony and the large bathroom. Onsen facilities were lovely.
The property was so tropical and beautiful. The staff were friendly and the free breakfast was yummy!
This property almost hit every nail on the head: large rooms, Orion beer bar, paid dining options, beach, onsen, swimming pool - but there was some room for improvement.
We were here in late May. It was mostly rainy but warm. The outdoor pool was freezing. There was a small bubble pool that looked like a hot tub but was just as cold as the pool. So with children- it was not doable. Why not heat the pool so people could enjoy it? So we spent most of our time in the tiny indoor pool. The kids had a lot of rules enforced. I understand the culture in Japan is more calm but we’re at a resort? There were no accessible amenities for parents: for example: a quick hot dog or soba. No bar for a drink or coffee. There was a on-site store (ice cream, water, coffee, beer - but you had to leave to go get it). There was also a Lawson’s 5 mins away by walking. But again, you had to leave. As a nice resort, they fell short with service here. Why not open the pool bar to serve quick options to parents w kids that just wanted to enjoy the pool and a vacation. Why have a lunch buffet for $50 per person as the only option for food on the resort? Walk 5 mins for a $6 lunch. Again, leaving the resort. Almost brilliant, but fell a bit short.
