"Please take the hotel description and discard it. It says Airport Shuttle a rare find, it’s incredibley limited to two runs a day 8:30am and 10:30am, now we know why the hotel never responded to our airport pickup. If you don’t have the shuttle you’re on for a 20.000yen cab to the hotel. The hotel is on a nice beach but it is limited to just that, a nice beach. If you don’t have a car you’re quite literally stuck doing nothing if you want to leave as the location is in no mans land. You can still access the beach and have a great day, just don’t stay here.
The hotel is old, don’t expect much from you’re amenities or room, just dated and old with a musty smell, for the price you can book a much better hotel literally anywhere on the island.
Breckfast buffet was the highlight
We left on day 3 out of 6, the hotel didn’t refund anything, that’s ok! Don’t make the same mistake we did. Stay somewhere better, for the price comparison."
"Staff were great, clean but lots of ants everywhere. The executive lounge is a perk but after the first day, it’s the same items. There also isn’t enough elevators for the amount of rooms. No vending machines on site.
The phones have no directory so if you need help and need to call the front desk, you can’t. Horrible."
"If you're traveling with little ones, you'll love this hotel. The Hotel Monterey Okinawa Spa & Resort genuinely rolls out the welcome mat for families. From the moment you arrive, you'll find activities designed to keep children engaged, curious, and happy, so you can relax and enjoy yourself too. It really is that kind of place.
Getting there couldn't be easier. If you're hopping on a bus from the airport, you have two convenient options right at your doorstep. One stops directly in front of the hotel, and another just across the street. Either way, you're steps away from settling in.
And once you're there? The neighborhood invites you to explore. A wonderful variety of restaurants awaits just a short walk away. So whether you're craving something local or something familiar, you'll find it. Grab essentials at one of the nearby convenience stores, or treat yourself to a piece of Okinawan artistry at the Ryukyu glass studios within walking distance. It's the kind of detail that turns a hotel stay into a genuine experience of the place."
"The hotel was set to heating and our rooms were extremely warm all day unfortunatley. There werent even fans they could offer us. But it was still a good stay."
