Wonderful hospitality as you would expect in virtually any Japanese hotel.archetypal high end Japanese resort,clean simplistic yet very elegant.these hotels are part of the reason why I frequent japan for vacations.the food was great and this resorts spotlight is its private beach, the sand was nice and the water was crystal clear.see for yourself.would recommend and will definitely visit again

Gorgeous seaside resort

My son and I stayed for 3 nights and 4 days right at the end of May. It’s a great time to visit this wonderful hotel. My son asked if we “can stay for a year?!” The hotel is next to the airport and it’s fun to watch the planes landing next to the reef (prop planes mostly and infrequently and far enough away). The views from the hotel over the reef are great as the sun goes down right in front of the pool area. 

The hotel is a bit old skool but it adds to the charm because it’s ultra clean and the staff are amazing. The pool is lovely and so is the free onsen (Japanese sauna). Buffet breakfast is very nice, especially on the morning we got served sashimi in addition to the buffet which is a mix of Asian, western and continental. 

There is a hotel shuttle bus to and from the airport and a local bus that connects the hotel with town and main resort area. There are two Family Marts which proved very useful for food and beverage - one of which is next to the bus stop in the resort village on the east coast. 

The hotel kindly organized a small car for a day via a company at the airport. It’s well worth getting a car for a day or two for exploration including the secluded Ara beach. You’ll need an international driving license in addition to your home country license.

The hotel organized our trip to Hatenohama which was spectacular and a must when you visit Kumejima. 

This hotel is the basis for a fabulous family hotel. 

Just A Wonderful Place 

Late March is still quiet season on the island so the hotel was only partially full but everything from the fabulous breakfasts -- a buffet of western and Japanese food -- through to the French style food in the evening were special and reasonably priced.  We stayed four nights and ate out two nights at local places and in the hotel two nights.  The hotel is isolated so you need either a rental car or taxi to get around.  We rented a car one day, went on a couple of half day tours and otherwise used taxis. That worked for us but another option is renting a car from the airport for the entire stay. 

The hotel sits above a large lagoon that fills up and partially dries out according to the tides.  The weather was cloudy every afternoon so we never saw the famous sunsets the place is noted for but imagine it would be beautiful on a clear evening.   The beach is small but at low tide it is fun to walk out into the lagoon and explore the tide pools.   A woman was harvesting the local Japanese seaweed from the coral rocks the day we explored the lagoon.

We slept four in one room so a bit tight but everyone had their own bed. The room was outfitted well including all of the normal bathroom amenities along with free WiFi.  We had a great time on the island using the hotel as a base while combining sightseeing with sampling local restaurants.  I would rank it up near the top of Okinawa island vacation spots.  It is accessible by plane -- only a 20 minute flight from Naha -- or ferry which is the cheaper, though slower option.

Great Food, Relaxed surroundings

The resort has a wonderful architecture: lobby, facade and pool. The most helpful staff in Japan and the best food we have had. Free shuttle from the airport, japanese public bath and unforgettable snorkling daytrip to Hatenohama. FYI, it is quite a family hotel with many well mannered children. The rooms are all seaview but they are a little old-fashioned ( carpet could be replaced ) and the bathrooms are small. However the resort is a  hidden treasure. Best breakfast ever!

Heavenly retreat, the warmest welcome

We stayed for one week in this resort.  The resort is located very close (4-5 min ride) to the Kuemjima airport.  They have shuttle bus to take the guests to the hotel whenever there is an incoming plane.

The check-in is quick and efficient.  Some of the staff don't speak English, but still they can manage to communicate with you effectively.  We were placed in two rooms on the 5th floor.  The room is quite clean and spacious and equipped with a sofa as well.  There is a balcony and it is nice to use it to dry your clothes after snorkeling and swimming.  The housekeeping was rather inefficient, so beware.  Sometimes when you return to your room around 11-12, they are still cleaning up.

There is one restaurant at the lobby, serving buffet breakfast.  The dinner is an a la Carte menu and it's a form of Western-Japanese fusion style cuisine.  The food is excellent though you may find it cheaper if you dine outside.

There is a tuck shop at the ground floor and you can top up your personal stuff here.  There is a public bath opening in the morning and afternoon till night.  Though it's not very big, we find it quite refreshing.

Bike rental is available in the hotel.  We also ask the staff to arrange car rental for us and it was very convenient where the company delivered the car to us the next day.  At the end, you just hand over the car at the hotel back to the rental company.

We need to stayed an extra day because of typhoon.  The only bad thing was they charged us more (than before) even we need to stay one extra day due to the typhoon.  So make sure you book through some of the internet booking system like booking.com where you might get a better deal.
