Sheraton Okinawa Sunmarina Resort

“Something for everyone”

Wow! We were blown away with this resort. This is a gorgeous resort with well maintained facilities.

Wow! We were blown away with this resort. This is a gorgeous resort with well maintained facilities. They do a wonderful job of catering to all customers whether it is a family of five or a couple looking to get away for a romantic holiday. We spend five nights and wish we could've stayed longer. They have some amazing restaurants that cater to your different food desires. They did their best to accommodate my wife's gluten allergy, but like most hotels/restaurants in Japan, the staff is still in the infancy stages of knowing what is and isn't acceptable. I'm sure this will get better over time. Yui and Sinzen from the restaurants really went above and beyond. Lots of beach activities and a nice wading area in the ocean to keep cool. You will not find 4-foot waves to play in due to the breaker system that is setup to help maintain the integrity of the beach area. However, you will find some wonderful pools (both indoor and outdoor). If you get a chance to pamper yourself in the Churaku spa, please do so. The staff was amazing and the treatments were world class!

My family visited came to Okinawa Dec 2024 and chose to have a stay here at the Sheraton Okinawa Sunmarina Resort with my Marriott Bonvoy elite status points. Even thought the resort is starting to show its age a little, the overall resort is super nice with an access to a private, beautiful beach. On the beach there are tons of summer sport activities that you can try out for a fee, such as: the Mega Zipline, snorkeling tour, banana boat, sunset cruise, etc. However since we went in December, some of these activities were not available, so we ended up just doing the zip line only. Location wise, it's in the middle of the island so not too far from the airport and not too far from the aquarium. Across the street there is a place where you can by Ryukyu glassware. If you walk out the main entrance and go to the right, there will be a lot of local eateries about .5 miles or so. Front desk service was nice, as they recognized my Marriott Titanium status and gave us a room upgrade of an Ocean View, High Floor, Maisonette Guest Room with an upstairs loft. As you walk off from the front desk, behind the counter you see a group of elementary school aged kids greeting us. I thought it may have been training for them. ^^ Also there is a unique feature of the hotel is a sizable pond in the lobby where all manner of fish/sea life that will memorize both kids and adults alike. There were lion fishes, puffer fishes, stone fishes, sting rays and a whole slew of others. Went up to our floor with the fast elevator, and into our room and it was huge, not just Japanese standard, but in general. If you walk out the patio, you can see a beautiful view of the beach. Sheets were clean and crisp. The bathroom had a modern hand shower with a separate rain shower, next to a tub. The Sunset Lounge was available for guests of status, but catered towards the western palate. Mostly of appetizers and various drinks, which includes the Okinawa brand, Orion Beer. The breakfast was Buffet Style, serving both Japanese and western palate. They also include some traditional Okinawan cuisine for breakfast such as Okinawa soba, and more. It was quite busy with guests from all parts of Asia, even in the low season when we were there. They have plenty of ware in the gift shop for you to bring back some Okinawan souvenirs such as traditional sweets/snacks and the local liquor, Awamori. There is also an Onsen (温泉), or hot spring bath available in another building. Since a lot of Marriott properties does not have an Onsen it was definitely a plus. However, being that it was winter and after you warm up in the Onsen, if you walk back to the hotel, it defeats the purpose of getting warm though. Overall it was a great experience but there may be room for some improvement. Nitpick stuff such as updating some rooms to be more modern. Biggest gripe was (and not totally fault of the hotel) was that even at the slow season, there were SO MANY people at breakfast that were cutting in line, and generally causing a mess and nuisance. Aside from that, if I could give 4.5 points I would, but since I can’t, I’ll give it a 4.

My partner and I just returned from a wonderful 3-night stay at the Sheraton hotel in Okinawa, and we're already dreaming of going back. This was our first time visiting the island, and the hotel provided the perfect home base to experience Okinawa's stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. The hotel facilities and amenities were truly top-notch. We took full advantage of the on-site coin-operated laundry machines, which allowed us to pack light and travel hassle-free. The complimentary parking and outdoor adventure offerings, like the zipline and kayaking, were also fantastic perks. We had a thrilling time trying out the zipline, though the weather conditions did cause it to close down for a day due to high winds. Luckily, the hotel's crystal clear private beach provided a wonderfully serene alternative when outdoor activities weren't possible. The indoor and outdoor swimming pools were a huge hit, especially with our young kids. They loved the fun water slides and spent countless hours splashing around. The hotel's location and variety of family-friendly features made it an ideal choice for our trip. The only area that could use some improvement was the hotel service. While the staff was generally polite, we did notice they didn't always have the warmest demeanor, and there were occasionally long wait times to reach someone by phone or the mobile chat function. However, given that we visited during the peak season, we understand the hotel was likely experiencing high guest volume. Overall, our stay at the Okinawa Sheraton was truly exceptional. The stunning natural surroundings, top-notch facilities, and wide array of activities made it the perfect home base to explore this incredible island.
