Okinawa Marriott Resort and Spa is a resort in Nago, the main town of the north, shaped like a V so that rooms face the sea. The 15-storey building looks over the East China Sea, and every room has an ocean view, some partial, with a balcony on many. The grounds have a large garden pool overlooking the ocean, an outdoor pool for adults and children with a hot tub, and a water slide for children 120 centimetres and taller. The beach is about a five-minute walk away or a short shuttle ride, with activities and showers. Several restaurants offer a mix of cuisines, including a breakfast buffet, and there is a full-service spa, a fitness centre and free high-speed Wi-Fi.
Location and getting around
The resort is in the Nago area on the northwest coast, which puts the Churaumi Aquarium, Neo Park, Kouri Island and Nakijin Castle all within a manageable drive. Naha Airport is farther away, so allow around ninety minutes to two hours by road or take the airport limousine bus or a taxi. A rental car makes the most of the location, and the resort does offer a beach shuttle to the shore for those who prefer not to walk.
Rooms and who it suits
Rooms are comfortable and sea-facing, in categories from superior twins with a partial ocean view to higher-floor and executive-level rooms with a full view. It is a good fit for families, because of the pools and the slide, and for couples who want a resort base with some activity. Guests often use it as a base for two or three nights of north-coast sightseeing, with a day for the aquarium, another for the beach and a third for Kouri Island and the castle.
Good to know
The beach is not directly in front of the hotel, so plan for the walk or the shuttle, and check the pool and beach season, because swimming areas in Okinawa generally run from spring to autumn. Breakfast is a buffet and restaurants offer a mix of cuisines, so you do not need to leave the grounds for dinner. The page does not list parking details, so confirm with the hotel if you are driving. Book early for school holidays and the peak summer weeks.
