I stayed for a while in late August for diving purposes. This is my first time since the rebrand. I have stayed at all three major hotels on the island, and I think the view from the room and location are the best.The ocean view room was a little larger and the interior and water area had been renovated and was comfortable. The refrigerator is also large. Unfortunately, the room temperature cannot be adjusted. Even during the day, if I left the air conditioner on when I went to bed, it would get cold and when I turned it off, it would be too hot. The sofa bed and desk are old. Balcony is dirty. Wifi is slow. The room was at the end of the building, so it was quiet, but it was far from the public bath and laundry.There is no airport transfer. It was about 3000 yen by taxi. The local bus will arrive in front of the hotel entrance, but if your flight is delayed, it will not be waiting for you. This time, I took a direct flight from Haneda and arrived at the hotel around 2:30 pm, but they didn't let me check in or register in advance until 3:00 pm. All the people who arrived one after another had to wait until 3pm, and by 3pm there was a line. Moreover, the procedure is time consuming as it requires the use of a tablet. If you're staying at this hotel, we recommend arriving after 3pm if you're using a rental car, and if you're not using a rental car, it's best to take a flight in the evening.The overall impression is that guests have to adjust to the convenience of the hotel, such as check-in, setting the table at breakfast, cleaning the room, and accounting for the restaurant. Also, perhaps due to an emphasis on efficiency, restaurants have fewer dinner menus than before. If you're going to have dinner at a hotel, it's a good idea to check the menu on the hotel's website in advance. The BBQ at sunset has a great atmosphere. There was only one BBQ menu, and the price was reasonable, but the quality was reasonable.There are many izakayas in the area, but I think it's best to make reservations in advance for all of them. If you want to enjoy Okinawan cuisine, long-established izakaya restaurants are better. If you get tired of Okinawan cuisine, there are many other creative options on the menu.

There is a sense of cleanliness, but the place is old (the toilet is quite smelly)The price is quite high just because of the ocean view.But last year, the warmth of the staff made up for it. It was gone, and I was very sad.Anyway, the friendliness and service got worse. The number of unfriendly Japanese staff is increasing. (Probably someone from the mainland)When I visited last year, the friendly staff asked if it was the same guy who called me earlier. I’m glad I made it on time for the plane! ! The two of us warmly welcomed us. Although it was old, I was satisfied with the warm customer service, the sea right in front of me, the good location, and the slightly high price.Business-like Japanese staff (young person with glasses)When I asked him if he could lend me his only glass cup, he simply replied that it would be impossible unless it was night, and that he was sorry.Um...it costs over 10,000 yen to stay here without meals? Even a business hotel for 7,000 yen rented it to me right away. ? ? With the breakfast and dinner venue right in front of us,I wanted to drink alcohol, so I just asked if you could lend me a glass cup.What's the point of just having a mug in your room? There are people who want to buy canned beer and pour it into a simple glass, and there are people who want to buy awamori in the neighborhood and drink it at their hotel.Drinking alcohol in a coffee mug doesn't taste good, so I just said that I would like to borrow a glass of any shape. The customer service is very poor, with a cold attitude like "I'm sorry for waiting until night" and no changes in facial expressions.I felt that the service and attitude was unbelievable for the price of this hotel.Where did the warm customer service at Eef Beach Hotel go?Even right in front of the beach, I saw people from other countries taking endless selfies. is.Even if you have an ocean view, if you are in a room on the second floor, you can see people in full view and it is hard to feel comfortable because you are close enough to see them.Still, it's about 13,000 more for one night without meals.In this case, it would be better to stay at a cheaper and warmer inn and walk to Eef Beach.Or, I think it's cheaper and more relaxing to stay on the upper floor of a certain large hotel.Japanese female staff, could you provide warmer customer service? Can't you just say something from your heart?There is nothing better than the location.

I stay on Kumejima for about a week twice a year.This was my first time staying at Eef Beach Hotel. My most recent stay was at a private accommodation facility.It must have been beautiful since it was renovated! ? This is my first stay!Guest roomIt's not a new building, so it's not super clean, but it doesn't look dirty or stressful. Beds are hard. I like it, but women seem to like it a little softer.serviceThe kindness of Okinawan people.It has a homey feel that makes you want to come back again and again!There is a large bath and a simple gym!placeIt's good because it's like the main street of Kumejima. Convenience store is also nearby.Overall evaluationWifi doesn't work in the room lolWifi is available near the front lobby.I don't want to stay anymore for this reason alone.I realized once again the importance of Wi-Fi in modern society.Other than that, nothing bothered me.*Wifi was improved during our stay🙇This may have been caused by a power outage due to the typhoon.

We decided to come here to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, my daughter's coming of age, and her new job.The weather forecast wasn't good so I went with low expectations regarding the weather (^^;;When we told them that we had come to celebrate, we received very warm congratulations and consideration from the hotel staff, and the whole family had a happy stay.I will definitely visit here again. thank you very much.

The breakfast buffet has a wide selection of items, and the accommodation rates are cheap. However, I think Wi-Fi is difficult to reach in some rooms.

I came to Kumejima for snorkeling. We snorkeled at the beach in front of the hotel and saw many fish. I was surprised to see sea turtles swimming around too. …

A shisa dog greeted us and when we entered the hotel, we were greeted by a stylish space✨Ocean view✨There was also a pool and the kids were excited💃The room has 4 beds for the whole family, and you can see the pool and the sea from the room 💃💃The sea in front of us is calm and shallow with no waves, so it's perfect for families with children 🙆 But there were no colorful tropical fish 😢The pool was beautiful ✨ The staff was diligently removing fallen leaves with a net, and the water was constantly flowing and circulating 🙆 There was also a shower.In the end, we ended up playing in the pool instead of the sea💃💃💃For dinner on the first night, we had a gozen meal of prawns, a specialty of Kumejima, at a restaurant🦐BBQ on the terrace on the second night😆The atmosphere was great, but the terrace was so hot💦 and there were so many flies🪰 that I couldn't enjoy a relaxing meal at all😱There was a large public bath, but it was so hot that I got a stinging sunburn so I couldn't go in.But the view was nice 👍I had a comfortable time on Kumejima 😊I will go again🙋
