Hotel Monterey Okinawa Spa and Resort is a large luxury resort at Fuchaku in Onna, on the west coast, facing the East China Sea. Guests rate it as exceptional. It has about 340 rooms, from standard and superior rooms to deluxe, corner, partial ocean view and premium club categories, all with premium bedding, a deep soaking tub, a bidet, a safe, a fridge, a kettle and free Wi-Fi. The resort is known for its spa and its pools, with four outdoor pools, an indoor pool, a children pool and a waterslide. There is also an indoor mineral hot spring, a sauna, a hot tub and a full-service spa offering massage and reflexology, which makes it one of the more relaxing places to stay on the coast.
Location and getting around
The resort sits on Tiger Beach, a short walk from the sand, and the coastal park is a minute away. It is about an hour by road from Naha Airport, and a hire car makes it easy to reach the Blue Cave, the Cape Manzamo viewpoint and the northern aquarium. Sun Marina Beach is a walk or a short drive, and a golf resort lies a few minutes away by car. The surrounding Onna coast has many cafes and small shops for an afternoon outing.
Rooms, dining and facilities
Dining includes four restaurants, a garden cafe, two coffee shops and a poolside bar, and a daily buffet breakfast is available for a fee. Activities include kayaking, snorkelling and diving, and craft workshops are offered. Spa treatments need to be reserved ahead. A daily facilities fee applies, and beach umbrellas and loungers are available for a fee in the warm season, so check what your rate includes. Some pools and the beach are seasonal, so check opening dates if you travel in winter.
Who it suits and what to know: couples, families and friends who want a full resort with a spa, and travellers who like a soak after a day on the beach. Check-in begins in the afternoon and ends in the evening, with a minimum age of eighteen, and check-out is before eleven. Parking is available at a modest nightly fee with height restrictions. Pets are not allowed, though service animals are welcome.
Cots are not available, so families with babies should ask about alternatives, and extra beds cost extra. Book early for summer, Golden Week and the winter holidays, and compare room types and cancellation rules before you confirm. A rental car is the best way to enjoy the coast, and the hotel can help with ideas for sunset spots, snorkelling trips and half-day drives to the northern castles and the aquarium.
