En Resort Kumejima Eef Beach Hotel

Lovely resort! Has a great onsen, hot tubs, pools. Free ice cream/beer if you choose not to have daily room service. The breakfast buffet was also amazing!

It was a good hotel, breakfast was very delicious and beach was excellent. The sea view from our room was a bit so-so, because it was on the second floor and we were above the terrace roof, covering quite a bit of the view. However, we were expecting that the pools would have been operating, but they were closed already (this was in October, which is considered already off-season). I found that strange because it was still 30 degrees warm? That was a big disappointment for me and there was no information about this when we were booking the room. Another strange thing was that they did not let anyone to check-in before 15, even though the hotel was not nearly on full-capacity. Then at 15.00 sharp there was obviously a long queue and everyone had to wait for quite some time - this would not happen if you were just a little bit more flexible when possible.

I had an horrible experience. Even if the staff at reception is very gentle, unfortunately the hotel looks very different from the booking apps. It’s old, and even if you book a “renovated room, they basically did not changed nothing. The room was without remote AC control, so the temperature of your room is managed by the reception. The furnitures are very old and full of humidity. The wall are dirty. The beds are old and you can feel the metal springs on your body. The view is not nice because yes you have the ocean in front, but on the right side there’s a football camp abandoned and the main swimming pool was dirty and not working. The Onsen is tiny like a Bathub and you must even bring your own towels, because there’s not a towel service there. The restaurant of the hotel is closed at lunch. So you must to sorted out your lunch by yourself going around in a Isolated island. The room is food mold, so good luck with allergies. I felt a Hostel for backpackers would be better. If you want to get around and you don’t have a car, they even charge the rent for bicycles, which in general in the others hotel is for free. There are no taxi after 7pm, so you cannot decide to go somewhere else for dinner. I felt in prison, not in a nice holiday. I would never come back
