Beach Hotels in Motobu, Okinawa Island

"This hotel had a huge room for a Japanese hotel. Usually hotel rooms are the size of the bed with a bathroom. Size was comparable to USA hotel room. During certain hours, hotel offers free tea and popsicles. There is a beach right next door. Not the best beach, but it is next door. For a fee, there is a rooftop infinite pool with amazing views. Staff at the pool was nice enough to let us stay past hours to watch a fireworks show. We really appreciated that. Parking was a little crazy. They have underground parking and a street level parking lot. Usually all the spots are taken by late afternoon. But don’t worry, they have a valet at no extra charge. There are decent restaurants near by. There is Aeon supermarket that is walkable. Overall, great place to stay. "

"Amazing experience "

"Hotel Nikko Alivila – 5 Stars Hotel Nikko Alivila is a fantastic resort in a prime location, situated mid-island in Okinawa. It offers the perfect balance—easy access to the quieter, scenic northern areas, yet still close enough to Naha for cultural sites like the Okinawa Peace Memorial Museum and some downtown excitement. The hotel itself is packed with amenities and activities. There’s a stunning white sand beach with crystal-clear water, paddleboarding, Sea-Doo rentals, and even tubing behind boats. The pool is spotless, and the tiki bar serves great cocktails in a laid-back setting. We stayed on the top floor of the North Wing, and the sunset views over the chapel were absolutely breathtaking—don’t miss it if you can book this room! Dining is excellent. We tried the Ryukyu/Japanese restaurant on-site, and the food was both authentic and delicious. Just next door, there’s a shopping center with a cozy coffee bar (surprisingly playing country western music!) and some great casual eats like burgers, burritos, and sandwiches. The staff were phenomenal—genuinely attentive, friendly, and abundant. You feel very well taken care of from the moment you arrive. One tip: rent a car. There’s no public transit nearby, and taxis or Ubers would add up quickly. I was a bit nervous about driving on the left side, but it was easy to get used to—and totally worth it for the flexibility. In summary, this hotel exceeded expectations. "

"While the decor and design felt quite dated, the hotel's maintenance was excellent, indicating a strong commitment to upkeep. We were pleasantly surprised by the staff's genuine efforts to communicate in English. Furthermore, since the buffet breakfast wasn't available during our stay, we were delighted by the traditional Japanese breakfast set, complemented by a semi-buffet style offering. The hotel is also walking distance to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium 沖縄美ら海水族館 and short driving distance to Lawson, Starbucks and variety of food establishments."

"Nice place & staff"

"Quite beautiful location on a great bay and beach, easy walk to snorkeling, outstanding food in the restaurants on site. Great shopping on site at the same cost as anywhere on the island. Zukeyama was a short 15 minute walk to the south of this resort which was an absolute delightful Japanese restaurant operated by husband and wife, best sashimi I’ve eaten in many years."
