"Over all it was a really nice place BUT There were too
Many rules as to when and where you could eat. If without a car you had to rely on the very expensive restaurants in the hotel. Their convenience store had no sandwiches to get you through if you missed a meal schedule at the resort restaurant. Plus no room service. Also breakfast time got so crowded that you had to often wait 20 minutes or more to get seated. You really need a car to have a great time as I had to spend much money on taxis back and forth to places. Also they had no store providing medicine essential for medical problems one might expect in a tropical area. Also if you wanted a beach chair in the shade because you are sensitive to sun, you had to pay an extra 4000 yen for the chairs. Still, in spite of these conditions I would return again because the staff were very nice and I have a better idea of how to prepare."

10/10 Excellent
"The staff were kind and gracious! They made me feel like family. I told all my friends to stay here. Location is so convenient but the staff really made it comfortable.. I love them."
"Well located just off Kokusai-dori and a quick walk to the monorail as well.
Plenty of restaurants around and the breakfast buffet is okay as well.
Very clean premises and the room was very good as well."
"Amazing spot-
Walking distance from all the FUN! Amazing onsite wine bar, independent beer bar and custom Orion gift shop. It’s branded- but Orion IS Okinawa - so it doesn’t feel forced."
"Location is really good, monorail station is very close by, many convenience stores around, Donki is also nearby.
Laundry machines are located near the restaurant, it was an awkward location.
Hotel's parking is not suitable for big car but can use Times's parking nearby."
