The hosts were great. Excellent dinner. Thank you very much

Everything! It’s very well located (3min walking from the port but without any noise), the whole family is super kind on every aspect (and it’s the main reason of the super rate of this accommodation), it’s clean and the breakfast is super good

It was very Cozy, like at home

The spacious room was newly built, so everything felt fresh, modern, and thoughtfully designed. After staying in several small rooms during our trip, we really appreciated having the extra space to relax and move around. Every detail had been carefully considered, and everything we needed was provided. Nana was incredibly helpful and prepared the most delicious breakfasts we had on our entire trip to Japan. We truly hope to come back one day!

I had the most wonderful stay! The hotel itself is really lovely, with clean spacious rooms with gorgeous views overlooking the water. I was there as a solo traveller during the off-season and felt incredibly well taken care of. All the staff are so kind, friendly and thoughtful. Unfortunately I don't speak Japanese, but one of the staff members speaks English and was very helpful for organising logistics. The hotel restaurant was closed for the Winter, but the hotel has regular shuttle buses to take you to and from the main port where the restaurants and beaches are (note it is a decent walk to the main port, probably 20 minutes over the hill, pleasant in November but I could imagine it would be more taxing in the heat). I was also able to book an amazing snorkelling tour through the hotel. After check-out, the staff were also kind enough to hold my luggage and drop it off at the port before the ferry departed, so I could spend the day at the beach without my suitcase! There is also car and e-bike hire available for reasonable prices. Being there in the off-season when a lot of the tourist services were closed, it was so helpful staying somewhere where I felt all my needs were taken care of. The included traditional Japanese breakfast was also DELICIOUS and very generous! I would highly recommend it!

Loved my stay!! The hotel is located 5min away from the beach I was stuck on the island for a few days because of the bad weather and the staffs were very helpful ! The breakfast was really good. I also booked a snorkelling session with them and it was the best experience of my trip They also come to pick us up at the boat station

The room is very tidy and clean! And staff are very friendly as well ! We got a good rest in here ! Btw the restaurant in the hotel is amazing!

This place deserves a lot of praise, so I’ll start with the staff. Everyone was incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful, so much so that, despite being guests, we felt as though we were staying in someone’s cozy and beautiful home. The atmosphere, friendliness, respect for privacy and personal space, and the warmth of casual conversations truly make this place stand out. The food was excellent. They accommodated my gluten-free and my partner’s vegetarian diet. A huge thank you to the entire team: my birthday fell during our stay, and since we didn’t know what the menu would be like, I asked, without knowing that dessert is served daily, if it might be possible to have a dessert on my birthday. They served a panna cotta topped with a candle and played a birthday song, which was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture. They didn’t have to do that, and I really appreciated how natural and low-key it felt. All staff members were aware of my gluten-free requirements and informed me daily about the ingredients used. They even went as far as ordering rice bread for me, which I imagine required extra investigation and effort on their part. Coffee and tea were available every day, and there was also a daily happy hour with complimentary alcoholic beverages for those who drink. The facilities are beautiful, and this was easily one of the best soundproofed accommodations we’ve ever stayed in. The room design reflects the owner’s attention to detail, with everything arranged in a way that enhances a sense of connection to the surrounding nature. The entire place supports privacy and deep relaxation (there’s no TV, no background music, excellent soundproofing, and lovely views of the sea and hills from different floors). Bathtub at the rooftop had very tranquil nature spa vibe. Wetsuits and snorkeling gear were available and included in the price, and beach towels were also provided.

St. Maire Zamami has been one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at. They welcome you at the port and drive you to the resort front door, it’s really close by but it’s appreciated, especially if you have a large luggage. You get a welcome drink, you get to choose a complimentary bath and shower kit, and you also get to pick your first breakfast time and menu before being taken to your room. Rooms are spacious, clean, modern and elegant, with nice views over the port area. Breakfast is prepared fresh for you every day, and you always get to choose the time and the menu for the next day. You can have it both indoor and outdoor. Quality is very high. Staff is super friendly and helpful, it really felt like a family taking care of you, I have kept ‘bothering’ them with many requests and they have always helped me, from suggestions on what to visit to where to eat for lunch and dinner. I HIGHLY recommend having them suggest and book dinner restaurants for you every single day because there aren’t many options and they tend to get full quickly. If you walk in either direction from the resort you will end up in 2 beautiful beaches, I suggest visiting both, especially the west one for amazing breathtaking sunset views. The resort provides you with beach towels and snorkeling masks if necessary. The closest observation deck is Takatsukiyama and I recommend visiting it, you can easily walk to it in around 15-20 minutes and you will have amazing views, plus a nice patio to relax at. Around town you will find many snorkeling and similar activities tours options, and you also have the possibility to rent bikes or scooters.

Clean modern and nicely designed, peaceful. Meals of high quality and super friendly staff and owner

Beautiful location, right on the beach. We snorkelled off the beach and followed 2 sea turtles around. They have all the snorkelling gear for hire including wetsuits. The STAFF are AMAZING , so helpful and kind. They went above and beyond to make our stay the best experience. I can’t thank them enough. Also Included in the price is breakfast and dinner, it’s called half board. The food was pretty good, there are no other restaurants around the area. They have a bus that takes you to Aharen Beach, which is the other beautiful beach on the island. A pick up and drop you service is available to meet you from the ferrys at the port.

Staff were very friendly and cool ! super nice people
