Enjoy limited-edition beer at the Orion Beer Bar
At the Orion Beer Bar, you can enjoy limited-edition craft beers that can only be enjoyed here. The Orion beer offered as a welcome drink is also a nice touch.
Enjoy the luxury for adults with a view of the ocean through the large windows, the refreshing sea breeze during the day, and the starry sky at night.
Two stores for the shopping enthusiast
Original Orion beer goods can be purchased at the adjacent Orion Official Store. Beer lovers will not want to miss out on these souvenirs. In addition, "Okinawa Ichiba" on the first floor of the hotel offers a wide variety of local specialties, Okinawan sweets, sundries, and foods, making it a great place to find souvenirs for family and friends.
South Wing Ocean Twin Attraction
Spacious rooms over 50 square meters for a comfortable stay
The "Ocean Twin" room we stayed in is 50 square meters in size, and all rooms have an ocean view. With two 120cm wide twin beds, the room is spacious enough for up to four people, making it ideal for a family trip.
It feels a little better when the bellboy carries your luggage to your guest room.
There was a full range of amenities.
Breakfast buffet with a variety of dishes
Breakfast can be enjoyed at the buffet-style "All Day Dining Sirius," which offers Japanese, Western, Chinese, and Okinawan cuisine. The menu features dishes that make the most of local ingredients as well as standard Western dishes, providing a wide variety of choices to satisfy your morning needs. The Okinawan soba noodles here are quite delicious!

Review of Okibara
The first thing that surprised me when I stayed at the Orion Hotel Motobu Resort & Spa was the view from my room. As all rooms are oceanfront, I was impressed by the spectacular view of the ocean and Ie Island spread out before my eyes. The guest rooms are spacious, over 50 square meters, and were comfortable even for a family of four.
We enjoyed the crystal clear waters at Emerald Beach and were enthralled by the beauty of the sunset. The Orion beer we received as a welcome drink was also very special, and the limited edition craft beer at the beer bar was a perfect memory of the trip.
