Family-friendly Hotels in Motobu

Like last year, 2023 stayed for two weeks after Golden Week in May. From July last year to March this year, the evaluation was divided into 々 in a blog that describes the state of the hotel. I checked in with a sense of expectation what our stay was like. There was a diamond member lane at the reception and I didn't have to wait. The reception staff remembered us and arranged the room on the executive floor on the top floor as expected. The room was a bit rough with air conditioning temperature and air volume control, but the problem was solved by the adjustment of the engineer. The hospitality of the hotel staff was similar to last year and was able to stay comfortably and safely. The housekeeper came to make up early every morning. Thanks to that, I was able to spend the day effectively. The breakfast restaurant was a pity that the menu was a little less than last year. Also, on the day when there were many guests, the replenishment of the food and the cleaning of the tableware were not caught up, and it seemed that the guest was waiting. In the executive lounge, all the staff responded from the guest's position and perspective, and I was able to spend a very comfortable time. Unfortunately, the food menu at evening cocktails was a little less, as in the breakfast restaurant. On the other hand, although there are some retreats compared to last year, the view of the sea from the room on the top floor of the hotel is really wonderful. Therefore, you don't have to go anywhere, just in the room, and you can enjoy the beautiful changing sea view of 々 々 throughout your stay. There will be no other hotel in Japan that you can enjoy so relaxing and heart-to-heart. I want to stay again.

I just returned from Okinawa on 8 days 7 nights trip. After collecting my rental car at Naha Airport, my family spent 3 nights at Churaumi Village (2nd type) which is newer and about 700 m from the 1st Churaumi Village. We find the stay very enjoyable as it has a well-equipped kitchen and bath area - washing machine, cooking utensils, oven, microwave, dish warmer, rice cooker, kettle etc. The lower floor has toilet, bathing room, living room and kitchen. You can hang your clothes using the hanging liners provided at the balcony (2nd floor) or go to the office to use the dryer which charge 200 yen per wash. And the upper level is 2 rooms - one room consists of 2 beddings and the other is tatami room with futons. Outside the house is a small porch which you can have BBQ (which you can order from office). This place is ideal for those who drive as it is not so accessible by public transport, you can simply park your car in front of your apartment. The reason we stayed here is its proximity to many of the places we planned to go - Chuaraumi Aquarium & Ocean Expo Park (5 min drive); Nakijin Castle Ruins (15 min drive), and used it as a stop to arrange tour to places in the north - Kouri Island, Cape Hedo, Nakijin castle ruins etc. The service was excellent. When we checked in, we were led to the unit, briefed on the different amenities and usage. They even provide an information booklet which includes nearby restaurants and supermarkets. When we returned on the second night, it was heartwarming to note that the staff helped to switch on heater so that our washed clothes can dry faster. The apartment is clean but do note that they provided exact number of toothbrush, towels and slippers. But if you are short of anything, you may proceed to ask from the office (less than 50 m away). However, the staff do not clean your room but only take the towels to wash. However there is a vacuum cleaner which you can use to clean the floors. There is a washing point near the door so you can wash off sand after a visit to the beach. I even borrowed a pail to wash my car as it got really dirty. I must mentioned that there is a nearby Lawson and Family Mart (need abt 5 min drive). We patronised these 2 places every night to get our breakfast, drinks and snacks. Overall, my family enjoyed the stay very much. Given the location, service and very reasonable prices, I would strongly recommend this place for those who self drive.

Since I found this hotel a few years ago, I have been taken care of every year with my children ＾＾ If you go to Mizuno Island or the aquarium, you can go to the port near. Also, the veranda of the room has a beautiful sea that is not different from the introduction photo. Since it is a condominium, there is no service like a resort hotel, but the common areas are always clean, and the rooms are clean, probably because the wallpaper is changed regularly. It is an ideal hotel for our family with a kitchen, refrigerator, microwave, washing machine and dryer. The staff are also friendly and polite. It is a short stay, but it is a favorite inn that can always feel like living in Okinawa. About the beach It's a beach with beautiful coral reefs, but the beach in front of you is not a beach, so there are no guards, so it's your own responsibility to swim. In order to enjoy it as safely as possible, in my case, when entering the sea, I always try to enjoy the sea by not leaving two or more people.

We decided to stay at Marine Piazza Okinawa thanks to the reviews shared in TripAdvisor. We felt warmly welcomed when we checked in the hotel even though the staff were struggling abit with conversing in English. They were very friendly still and did their best to answer our queries. This is the most spacious hotel room which we had stayed in during our trip. The twin beds felt comfortable and spacious (PS: we are on the petite side). There is a big balcony facing the sea and we could hang out wet laundry to dry on a drying line provided. There were clothes pegs provided which we found inside the wardrobe. There were at least 2 sets of futon which our children slept on. There was a spacious platform next to the wardrobe for setting the futon beds. The breakfast buffet even had a children buffet table; at the children’s height =) with ingredients and sandwich makers for the children and parents to DIY their sandwiches. There are also finger food for the children. The normal buffet spread is mainly Japanese cuisine which we absolutely loved. There is a large green field outside the reception level which had swings made from logs; see-saws; hula loops and more which our children enjoyed a lot. There was a building next to them which has dolphin programs (at your own cost) eg swimming with the dolphins. We were thankful we had the best sleep at this hotel. Definitely a hotel we can return to again and with longer stays.

This super clean apartment hotel is a short walk from the aquarium and for us, an ideal location away from Naha, situated on the mid-north coast giving you access to explore the island’s more natural northern side. More like an Airbnb, this modern apartment had a lovely sea view and enough space (just) for my husband and I, complete with kitchen, great bathroom and internal laundry. Good toiletries were provided as well as laundry detergent. There’s a little supermarket at the bottom of the street as well as a couple of restaurants however drive for about 5 minutes back over the bridge to find a long stretch of fantastic izakayas and restaurants - look out for a place called Owazushi for great sushi, beer and hospitality! Check-in was smooth even though the staff don’t speak any English however this is the only time you see any staff as reception is unattended after 6pm and in the morning and to check out, you drop the key off in the box provided in the foyer. Highly recommend Yukurina if you’re planning to hire a car and want a less commercial stay on Okinawa.

I stayed at 2 discount by taking advantage of the discovery of Okinawa color. Initially, I was worried about which one to choose between a junior suite and a double room, but the junior suite with a club room chose a double room because the accommodation building is low. The rooms are 55 ㎡ and are large and equipped with toilets, bathrooms with bathtubs, closets, safety boxes, electric kettles, refrigerators, LED TVs, etc. In addition to amenities such as face washing, pajamas, coffee, tea, wine glasses, glasses, cups, ice pales, etc. are provided. I don't know the other floors, but on the 10th floor where I stayed, there are two coin laundry machines (3 types of capacity from washing to drying ¥ 300 to ¥ 500), vending machines, and ice machines beside the elevator hall. In addition, there is a hot spring on the 5th floor, and it can be used at the hot water tax ¥ 150/1 times. The breakfast venue is available in the form of a backing up to 6:30-10:00 on the 1st floor of Sirius, and there are Okinawa cuisine, Japanese, Western, salad bar, drink corner, etc., but there is no live kitchen, and there is nothing like this. Is the content normal? Most tourists will rent a car, but there are many parking lots, such as P1-P4, and guests with club rooms have a covered parking lot under the accommodation building. It was free. The double room is a total of 6 rooms on each floor up to the 7th floor ～ 12th floor, but it is a wonderful landscape that can be said to be the real ocean front in front of Iejima. It was a plan with dinner once for 3 consecutive nights, but the dinner venue needed a reservation, but a buffet in Sirius, which is the same as breakfast. Unlike breakfast, I baked and served steak in the live kitchen, but the chef on the day was not very motivated and unfriendly, and only served 2 ～ 3 mouths. It was a amount that could be eaten even if I said 10 pieces in a joke. The beach in front of you can also go through the inner garden from the first floor, and across the road there is a beach house that starts on April 1, and it is fully equipped with toilets and showers. Also, from the road there, you can go through the paved road along the beach to Churaumi Aquarium, and you can reach the souvenir shop in front of the Churaumi Aquarium exit. Also, at the hotel, you can buy admission tickets with a 10 ％ draw, just like the convenience store in the neighborhood. Overall, it can be said that it is a resort hotel that is the best for families. We stayed at this building to see Kouri Ocean and Kouri Blue.
