"The beach is incredible, but the location is not convenient for out of hotel restaurants or shopping unless you rent a car. The hotel is a good hour from the airport by taxi and the last airport shuttle leaves at 5:40 pm. The hotel is very dated and could use an upgrade but the rooms are huge and have a great balcony. The restaurants are somewhat overpriced for evening meals but the breakfast add on is highly recommended. Overall, if you want the best beach then this is a good choice."
"Overall, it’s a great hotel, very clean. Nice access to the beach. However, the swimming area is not that great. A hotel is nice that buffet decent. But there’s definitely nothing to do around the area within walking distance.
The staff did go, but beyond to help us in anyway"
"They charge 2,000 yen ($12/day pp) to use the pool per day per person. i’ve never heard of a Hotel doing this. The listing shows the pool was included so they refunded my charge. Other than that, we really loved the rooms and really loved our stay here. It’s a perfect location for American Village."
"The Orion hotel is in a great location. Unfortunately, while we visited, it was on the heels of typhoons, and so the beach area out front was closed off to swimming for cleanup, but we were able to snorkel nearby. One of the items that really surprised me was how fantastic the breakfast buffet was I’m not a breakfast person, but it provided an opportunity to try many different types of Okinawan food, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely recommend staying at this resort."
