He introduced and kindly explained to us about the local specialties like Jersey milk and yoghurt, ashitaba (plant), Hachijo fruit lemon, etc. We also went up to the rooftop at night to see the stars. We had a very nice and relaxing time and would like to be back in the future.

“Sehr schönes Hotel.”

Das Hotel war sehr gut, ein schönes Restaurant und das Frühstück. Das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit, aber nur wenige Mitglieder des Personals zur richtig in Englisch verständigen. Das Onsen ist ausgezeichnet. Die Lage ist gut, in der Nähe des Flughafens und Tauchen Clubs.

“remote and rather disappointing hotel with a great bath”

Let's start with the positive aspects : I appreciated a beautiful seaview in a very serene environment, where cows, wind and waves are the main sounds. Free pick-up/transfer to/from the airport. The o-furo (public bath) is great and rather clean, including a rotemburo (open-air bath) with a nice v… Mehr

Let's start with the positive aspects : I appreciated a beautiful seaview in a very serene environment, where cows, wind and waves are the main sounds. Free pick-up/transfer to/from the airport. The o-furo (public bath) is great and rather clean, including a rotemburo (open-air bath) with a nice view. It's a good thing that the side man/woman is changing everyday. The rooms are rather spacious. The food is good. The electric bicycles that you can rent at the thotel are comfortable and efficient (i toured around the island with them and appreciated their reliability). Some members of the staff are helpful and rather friendly. Now, there are several not so positive aspects about this resort that travellers, especially non-japanese, need to be warned about : The location is serene, but very remote (5km far from the town outskirts). You have to rent a car or bicycle if you want to be independent. Walking to/from the nearest restaurants in town is possible, but long and maybe annoying if the weather is not nice or at night. Taxis are easy to get but expensive. As a lot of the guests seemed to be part of organised groups of retirees, the hotel is not very focused on independent travellers needs for movement. The resort is obviously catering in priority to groups of japanese retirees and it has several bad aspects, especially with the staff habits and behaviour : first, almost nobody in the staff is able to speak english, which could be leading to a lot of misunderstanding - and even if you speak a bit of japanese, it seems that some important advices are not imparted. The most annoying aspect is the fact that everything has to be planned and booked long in advance without any information about that from the staff, making it somehow offensive. For example, when i arrived there in the afternoon, nobody told me that you have to book one day in advance for joining the (good and fancy, but rather costly) dinner at the hotel-restaurant. When dinner time arrived, i was prevented to enter the restaurant with very few explanation. I had to call a taxi and chose a bit at random a restaurant in a town where most of restaurants are closing very early, without much help and not any apology from the staff. Early is an important word : you have to join the restaurant very early in the morning for breakfast (and same for dinner), check-out is early (10am) but early check-ins are discouraged... The rooms and most of the hotel layouts are rather old and a bit worn-out. I realised how thin the walls were when i heard breathing (and snoring) the guests next door.
