Family Hotels in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan

The location is fantastic, right next to Tsubogawa Subway Station, and bus stops are also super convenient. The best part is Don Quijote (Donki) is right downstairs. It's incredibly well-stocked, and we could even buy fresh groceries to cook ourselves. The hotel offers a full set of kitchenware for rent, which truly let us indulge in Wagyu beef as much as we wanted. I would definitely come back here again if I have the chance.

The breakfast and dinner options were honestly fantastic. There were plenty of options that ranged from Italian to traditional Japanese. I really enjoyed the night we grilled at our table.

Very good experience. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. They are willing to go the extra mile to make one's journey smooth. The swimming pool is awesome, and enough lifeguards are there to make everyone safe. Oriental is not the only hotel we visited this time, and I would say their standard room is big when compared with the other same grade hotels. One thing to highlight is the varied cuisines at the grill restaurant, value for money. Overall, we would recommend this hotel to anyone we know, especially families. Would like to visit again.

Huge resort hotel with lots to do for families. The onsen facilities are great (extra charge for guests) and breakfast was good. The room had a fantastic ocean view. Better to have a car to drive around as not much in the local area.

Lives up to the hype! Absolutely amazing! 🏨 Hotel Monterey Ambiance: Elegant, wood-paneled 'old money' aesthetic. The attention to detail is remarkable – even the waiting areas for the restaurant and the smoking room offer sea views. The pool area is flanked by Tiger Beach on one side (which houses an activity club and restaurant on its ground floor) and a charming white chapel on the other. Tiger Beach offers a wide array of water activities, making it easy to keep the kids entertained without ever leaving the hotel. While the QR codes on the promotional posters are for booking activities starting the next day, you can book same-day activities directly at the on-site club. We personally booked our glass-bottom boat tour and jet ski rides this way. The main draw here is that you barely need to leave the resort. The pool is also fantastic for kids, featuring slides and a trampoline. My son bounced on that trampoline for an entire day and still wasn't tired! Children under 12 must be accompanied by a guardian *in the water* – just watching from the side isn't enough. Otherwise, a staff member will soon approach with a sign asking, 'Otou-san (Dad), where are you?' In July and August, there's a 3-minute fireworks display at Tiger Beach every other day at 8:45 PM. Make sure to head down to the beach, as you won't be able to see it from the balconies of the premium rooms. I foolishly thought I could see it from afar, but when it started, I had to dash to the elevator lobby just to catch a glimpse. The experience from the beach would undoubtedly be much better. 🍽️ Dining: The breakfast spread is incredibly lavish! Remember to scan the QR code to get a queue number in advance. Because breakfast was so impressive, we decided to book the buffet dinner, which unfortunately was a huge disappointment. There wasn't much worth eating, and it frankly paled in comparison to breakfast. Soft drinks are an extra charge, and an hour of alcoholic drinks costs 2800 JPY (all-you-can-drink). One dinner set us back roughly 10,000 JPY, which felt overpriced. However, after a full day of water activities, we were too exhausted to venture out, so we just put up with it. There are numerous restaurants just outside the hotel, but it's advisable to go early or make a reservation beforehand, as walk-ins almost always face a wait.

**Cleanliness:** The room was impeccably clean. Housekeeping always completed cleaning punctually according to our requested time. **Environment:** It's conveniently located near Shuri Castle, with a peaceful and quiet environment. The on-site Family Mart convenience store was extremely useful. There's a supermarket about a 10-minute walk away, and plenty of excellent local restaurants nearby. **Service:** The staff were warm, friendly, and incredibly accommodating, always ready to assist with any request. Breakfast offered a rich and varied selection of food. **Facilities:** The facilities are quite modern, especially for a hotel in Japan.

The room was very spacious and comfortable, with excellent soundproofing. The staff were incredibly accommodating, striving to meet all reasonable requests. The hotel is beachfront, offering fantastic ocean views, and they also arrange paid snorkeling trips. My children absolutely loved it! There are small barbecue restaurants nearby, though reservations are required. The only minor downsides are its distance from convenience stores and from Naha itself; a taxi ride from Naha costs approximately 14,000 JPY.

We had a wonderful 3-night stay at Prince Hotel. As a self-driving couple, the location was convenient even though it’s not in the city center—there aren’t many walking distance restaurants or cafes nearby compared to Nara City Centre, but it makes up for that with its peaceful atmosphere and stunning sea views. We had morning run to tropical beach nearby! Every room has a sea view, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The bathroom was modern, and the water pressure was excellent—absolutely no complaints about the room at all. Customer service and front desk staff were helpful and accommodating with all our requests. The breakfast was solid—10 out of 10—with a good variety of choices and an amazing view to enjoy while dining. Breakfast time is from 7 to 10 am. Parking is complimentary, and there are five parking floors right beside the hotel, which made things very convenient for us. If you’re looking for a relaxing stay near the Ginowan area, this is the place to be. I’d absolutely rate it 100 out of 100 and highly recommend it to couples looking for a peaceful getaway.

The room was better than I'd expected. Although the decor was a bit dated, it was clean, tidy, and quite spacious. The bed was also large enough, so sleeping with our child didn't feel cramped at all. The weather wasn't great during our stay, which meant the sea wasn't very inviting, and we didn't get to use the children's play facilities on the beach. Both the outdoor and indoor pools had children's slides; they were decent but not huge, offering all the essentials. Before checking out, I informed the front desk that I needed to go to the airport, and they kindly arranged a shuttle bus for me. It took less than an hour and a half to reach the airport, and we didn't even have to walk to an outside bus stop. The shuttle was very prompt. We booked the hotel very last minute, and it was during the peak summer season (even with a typhoon, other hotels were incredibly expensive at that time!). For a price of just over 2000, including breakfast for two adults and one child, I still think it offered good value for money. As for dining, the breakfast spread was enormous; you could find almost anything you'd want. Their buffet dinner also offered excellent value. We tried the Japanese restaurant, and with the 10% discount voucher from the hotel, it was only just over 100 per person. You could even make your own sashimi bowls, and the food tasted great. Finally, there were quite a few things that incurred extra charges, which slightly detracted from the overall holiday feel.

Had a great time at the the Hiyori! Traveled with my toddler and he absolutely loved the hotel room and kept asking to go back to the hotel. The room is well setup for longer stays with a fully equipped kitchen, washing machine and other smaller touches that show the hotel has thought of everything (including hand drip coffee for you to enjoy)! Hotel is still catered for more Japanese tourists and not a lot of staff speak English. Even with that the staff tried their best and we had a great time!
