The Orion Hotel Motobu Resort & Spa

**Overview** Orion is a practical choice when Churaumi Aquarium, Ocean Expo Park and the Bise Fukugi Tree Road are the reason for going north. Staying in Bise leaves room to spread those stops across the day and return to the hotel between them. The property also has an onsen and pools. Its Ocean Wing includes family-oriented room categories, while the Club Wing is a separate option. Check which wing and benefits you are buying before making an upgrade decision. **Key metrics** - Guest rooms: 238 - Ocean Wing rooms: 215 - Club Wing rooms: 23 - Building floors: 12 **Pros** - Aquarium and beach can fit into one neighborhood day - Bise offers a second nearby outing at a different pace - Onsen and pools give guests more ways to use the property **Cons** - Motobu is less convenient for a Naha-centered itinerary - The two wings serve different room and service preferences - Check beach and pool operating dates for your stay **Best for** Families who want northern sightseeing without packing it all into a long day trip. **Things to watch out for** Book the category that fits the group rather than assuming all family layouts have the same bedding.
