Hotel Monterey Okinawa Spa & Resort

Good

This is in Onna so it is about an hour uber drive from Naha airport. The bus only takes passengers twice a day if you want a cheaper transportation option. Hotel is beautiful. Staff is very nice and professional. Very helpful. Most speak some English although they may be a bit shy. Room is very nice and clean with excellent amenities. We had a balcony overlooking the pool area and ocean. Great sunset/sunrises. There are a few restaurants in the hotel. We had complimentary drinks from 10-8 in the tea area. Very nice. The seafood buffet restaurant was just okay. We had burgers at the poolside cafe which was interesting - more like meatloaf than typical burger, but tasted decent. There are a lot of restaurants nearby if you want to eat out. They have washers and dryers on the 1st floor with coin machines that will give you change for your bills. It also has detergent for sale if you need. We had to do laundry mid-trip so this was very much appreciated. Only downside to the hotel is the elevators smelled a bit misty. Likely due to people coming in from the pool/ocean with their wet sandles and towels dripping on the carpet. Would recommend, nevertheless. I have to shout out to our concierge who spent a long time helping us figure out Yamato luggage service. She helped us forward our luggage to the last hotel we would be staying in on our Japan trip. It was quite an ordeal and she was wonderful! Would stay here again when visiting Hiroshima.

everything is wonderful

The swimming pool and beach facilities were excellent and well-maintained. However, it was slightly disappointing that there wasn't much marine life to see while snorkeling. On a positive note, the staff were exceptionally professional and friendly. I particularly found the 'eco-friendly' voucher system—which rewards guests with on-site credits for opting out of daily room cleaning—to be both practical and thoughtful.

Great view, good breakfast spread. Not too crowded.
