Okibura Reviews
When I stayed at the “Orion Hotel Motobu Resort & Spa,” the first thing that surprised me was the view from the guest rooms. True to its claim that all rooms are oceanfront, I was moved by the breathtaking view of the ocean and Ie Island spreading out right before my eyes. The guest rooms were spacious, measuring over 50 square meters, and even a family of four could stay there comfortably.
At Emerald Beach, I enjoyed the crystal-clear ocean and was captivated by the beauty of the sunset. The Orion Beer I had as a welcome drink felt extra special, and the limited-edition craft beers at the beer bar were the perfect memento of my trip.
