We definitely recommend the cottages and would stay there again! Short review: great if you are looking for a low key homebase while touring around Zamami. Better than its website’s pic! Not for people used to 4 or 5-star hotels. 

We stayed the week before Christmas and had an amazing time, but keep in mind that we were there by ourselves and had free use of the entire communal cottage facility including exclusive use of the rooftop deck and kitchen. Where we stayed had six cottages, a bathroom with two separated roomed off stalls and three showers, two side by side, separated by a short wall, and one by itself.  There was a small bathroom and shower unit in the cottage too. The kitchen was well equipped and clean, though it had a bit of an “old fridge” scent about it: nothing too serious. Might be an off-season problem. 

The cottage is for people looking for a laid back vacation and they was cute, but not fancy. The  pics included on the website make the cottages look shabbier than they are. It felt more like a beach house and more up to date than we expected from the pics.  We were pleasantly surprised by the coziness. There is an upstairs loft-platform where a second couple or kids could sleep when futons are put there. Ample electrical outlets including some in the loft area. Free wi-fi. There is a smoking area behind the last cottage with a picnic table under an awning. Laundry machine. We hung our clothes to dry. There is an actual dryer (rare for Japan) but you have to pay to use it.  Lots of places to hang clothes. 

The deck is pretty neat. It is basically the roof of one part of the complex, but it is freshly painted, safe and has tables and deck chairs and, if you are brave enough, a rooftop bathtub. We might have tried this if there had been curtains. There was a place for these but they were not up. It would be a brave couple indeed who used this when the other cottages had guests. All showers and bath had free shampoo and body wash. You need to bring your own towel, however.

The couple that runs the facility is friendly. There also run another set of rooms but we did not see these. The lady visited the cottages twice (while we were there) during the week to clean common areas. Everything was spotless. 

The cottage is on a canal which is quite pleasant. It is close to the harbour, a grocery store, restaurants, 15 minute walk  from Furuzamami beach and about twenty-five to Ama beach.

Loved our time in a cottage during off season

As everything in zamami is a basic resort, but i like it a lot. I have been in the cottage with ensuite bathroom, which was very nice and big, with 2 confortable single beds and 1 futon bed on the mezzanine. Everything very clean. The shared bathroom very nice and always clean. Nice showers. The owners are very kind and helpful. Zamami island has a beautiful beach (furuzamami) with of the best snorkeling spots in the world. it also worth to visit the small islands just in front of the harbour, beautiful reef. For me Zamami itself has been a very interesting experience, japanese culture and tropical beaches. I have been only 3 days in okinawa main islands, but the beaches i saw there cant be compared with those so beautiful on the kerama islands.
If you go to zamami i think okinawa resort is one of the best options.

Pleasant surprise

Great service, friendly owners, very clean, tiny rooms, overpriced imo. Location is great, not far from the harbour in the center of Zamami town. Cute town with some nice restaurants. The small double rooms are just 5m2 in total lol. Facilities such as public showers are ok, as is the aircon.

Great service, friendly owners, tiny rooms, overpriced imo.

Check out was 9:30 althouh on booking.com stands 10:00. There was no possibility to leave the luggage and take a shower after Check Out altougth there is plenty of space and a lot of showers. Renting bikes was 870Yen per day and the bikes where totally rusty. Also it was not allowed to take the luggage in the room. The luggage had to stand before the room at all time (The owner does not want to the floor damaged..)For this high price I was really disappointed. There are a lot of cheaper accomondations in Zamami with a far better service. I was in Zamami a few times before but we booked this accomondation because all others were already booked...

Service far to low for such a high price

Good point: very clean, close to Zamami port. Open shower / bath on terrace
Anyway , they don't offer breakfast like mentioned on the web site. You can't feel the island environment  staying there .In my opinion, Better stay on Ama beach, beach front cottages.
