Okinawa Prince Hotel Ocean View Ginowan Overview

You know what caught me off guard about the Okinawa Prince Hotel Ocean View Ginowan? The name actually undersells it. I mean, yeah, it’s got ocean views – but when you’re standing on one of those higher floors looking out over the East China Sea, it’s more like having a front-row seat to this endless blue canvas that shifts from turquoise to deep navy depending on the time of day.

The location in Mashiki is honestly perfect if you want to feel like you’re experiencing real Okinawa without being stuck in touristy Naha. You’re maybe fifteen minutes from the airport (which is clutch when you’re dragging luggage), but far enough that you don’t hear planes constantly. What I really loved is how you can walk down to the Ginowan Marina area – there’s this whole stretch where locals fish in the evenings, and you’ll see families having little beach picnics. The hotel sits right where you can access both the busier Chatan area if you want nightlife and shopping, or head toward the quieter Urasoe side when you need to decompress.

The rooms are spacious in that distinctly Japanese way where everything has its place and makes sense. The ocean-facing ones are worth the upgrade – I’d wake up early just to watch the sunrise paint everything gold. Actually, the staff mentioned that typhoon season (June through October) can make for dramatic morning views if you’re into that sort of thing, though obviously check weather before booking then. The onsen facilities are smaller than what you’d find at a mainland resort, but honestly, soaking in those hot baths after a day exploring the island hits different when you can hear waves in the background.

What really sold me on this place was the attention to Okinawan culture without it feeling forced or theme-park-ish. The restaurant serves proper Okinawan specialties – like, actual goya champuru that tastes like what you’d get at a local family spot, not the watered-down version hotels usually serve. The breakfast spread includes purple sweet potato everything, which sounds weird but trust me on this one. And the concierge staff actually knows the island – they steered me toward this incredible taco rice place in nearby Chatan (apparently it’s an Okinawan invention, who knew?) and suggested timing my visit to Shuri Castle for late afternoon when the crowds thin out.

The pool area gets busy during Japanese holidays, but most other times you’ll have space to breathe. There’s something really peaceful about swimming laps while looking out at the ocean – it’s like the horizon just goes on forever. Check-in was smooth, parking is free (huge plus since rental cars are basically necessary here), and the Wi-Fi actually works well throughout the building. Honestly, the 9.2 rating makes sense – it’s not trying to be flashy or over-the-top luxury, it’s just a really solid, well-run hotel that gets Okinawa right. If you’re planning to explore the island but want a comfortable home base that feels connected to the place rather than isolated from it, this is your spot.

The finest healing hotels of the world feature renowned spa treatments, nutritional programs, and mindfulness practices that have attracted wellness seekers for generations.

Hotel is brand new with nice facilities, very friendly staff and near a beach. Both indoor and outdoor pools were good with variety of saunas. The communal bath was also exceptional, although a bit small. There is a supermarket nearby with some restaurants as well.

What could be improved: A bit far from main attractions, outdoor pool was not heated so it was a bit too cold to enjoy in late October

Don't miss the onsen! Also, there are so many izakayas you can walk to. Plus a shopping mall with everything you could need!

What could be improved: I do wish there had been an iron or microwave in the room (or at least on every floor).

Bell staff very alert and prompt to attend upon our arrival at the door, always greet guest and looks welcoming. Staff stationed at the new year drink that serve awamori, friendly and explain about awamori drink for new year.

Sliding door is spoilt upon check in, they offer to change our room but we decide to stay in the same room as lazy to pack, unpack luggage.
Temperature(aircon and heating) is easy to control and accurate. Balcony is big and good size for lounging around and chill

Rental bicycle parking just outside lobby, which is very convenient to cycle around for fun.
Beach is as shown in picture with red arrow. Looks near but walking takes some effort

Good location, clean and tidy, breakfast is good

What could be improved: We have to check out at 7am to catch our flight, though we had paid the breakfast, we could not get a packed breakfast which we had had in other hotel.

I absolutely loved the lounge bars! The cocktails were fantastic, and the food was just as amazing. I really appreciated how, even though everything was unlimited, they never compromised on quality. The infinity pool was stunning in the evening, and sipping cocktails outside made it feel even more heavenly. Breakfast also exceeded my expectations—it was so good that I couldn’t resist indulging, even if it meant breaking my calorie goals for the day!

A big shoutout to the concierge team as well! They were incredibly helpful and made my (somewhat unplanned) trip around Okinawa so much more enjoyable. They were super attentive, always understanding what I needed, and went above and beyond to make sure I had the best experience. I truly appreciated their warm and thoughtful hosting—it made my stay extra special!

What could be improved: I was a little disappointed with the room cleaning service. While the room was overall nicely cleaned, I did notice a few things that could be improved. The hair dryer was dusty, and when I turned it on, the dust blew into my face, which wasn’t pleasant. Also, the towels seemed to have a bit of dust on them, which made me sneeze.

Another thing I noticed was that items not in (or near) the trash can sometimes got removed. For example, the travel-sized shampoo I was still using was thrown away. I also couldn’t find my shoe dust bag after the cleaning, and sadly, I had to check out before I could locate it.

Additionally, the sound of airplanes could be heard even past 10pm, which made it a bit noisy at night.

Room was very spacious, with separate toilette + shower, very clean

View from rooftop pool is incredible

What could be improved: could have full beds instead of just chairs in the Spa so, so one would stay there longer/the whole day (when it’s raining)

The hotel room had a good size and it was in a great location. There was a grocery store practically across the street.

What could be improved: Breakfast buffet could have been better but it was still good.
