Oceana Portvillage Zamami

Liked: cleanliness, very kind and helpful service by manager and staf, big room with vieuw on port, possibility to rent bicycle and electric car at hotel, environment with snorkeling possibilities and very beautiful beaches, very safe island. Liked less: the price was a bit high for the off season situation.

The young lady at the front desk was so nice and very helpful and she was very professional. My daughter and I had a very wonderful stay.

Excellent location! 5 min walk from the ferry port. Close to restaurants. Breakfast was good especially the juice. Comfortable beds too.

I am surprised at the great reviews for this hotel. I think the hotel has a lot of potential but is poorly managed and the staff doesn’t communicate with each other. 1. Cockroaches. Not a lot and they offered another room, but you know they’re everywhere at that point. 2. The van drivers were very friendly and courteous but somebody forgot to pick me up the first day at the beach and that left me feeling untrusting and bitter. The manager said the van showed up after I managed to get a ride home from someone. If that’s true, it was 45m in the rain and things were closed and I was by myself. 3. I did not go to the 2nd breakfast and someone knocked on my door three separate times at 8:30am to wake me up over the course of 30 minutes after I yelled “no thank you.” I then asked them to not knock on my door again (there are no “do not disturb” signs. 4. They knocked anyway the next morning for the same thing and I had to ask the woman to leave twice, again yelling no thank you. 4. The pillows were more like filled bean bags. I asked for a normal cloth, soft pillow and the man was very nice in getting me one. 5. The manager (I guess?) doesn’t speak English, which normally is fine, and he used a translator but he still seemed to not listen to me when I talked about check out dates twice. 6. Breakfast was acceptable, but the worst I had in Japan.

Zamami is quite a beautiful island with some of the most beautiful beaches, definitely worth a visit! We decided to stay in Zamami to maximize the time spent on this gorgeous island. This hotel had amazing service and was a small mom and pop style hotel. It is a bit older and could use some updates, however, it was good enough to be comfortable.

Nice property, quiet hotel with friendly staff. The only reason it isn’t a 5 star is they have a shuttle to one of the beaches and we were left there waiting for over 20 minutes and had to find a local to call the hotel and remind them to pick up. They were apologetic but we are lucky someone was able to call as my wife is pregnant and walking wasn’t an option.

Staff was incredible, best service I have ever had!

Staff was friendly and accomidating. They offered free shuttle to and from the beach. Room has a great air conditioning unit which was much appreciated to get a break from the humidity. Hot water for showers was limited to conserve, mornings and 5pm-11pm, but the staff mentioned if you wanted hot water ahower outside those hours they would accomidate, just request at the lobby. Location was amazing, walking distance to the port or to the beach if you don't mind a hill. I did not get breakfast but I should have it looked good. Rentals onsite for transport options, small buggys of some kind and maybe scooters

Amazing staff - they went out of their way to ensure a fantastic stay. Room was very clean and comfortable. I would stay again.

Very nice staff. Helpful and kind. One worker fluent in English, the others very adept at using technology to communicate. Nest the village and the beach.

What a charming place! The staff is extremely attentive and helpful, guiding us to make the most of this wonderful island!

Beautiful and convenient location. Hotel staff extremely helpful, helped transport us to the local beach and gave us advice on tide timings for the best time to snorkel. The electric car rental was well worth it for exploring the mountainous island. Definitely recommend against cycling unless you only want to visit the coastal beaches.

The hotel is very poor as probably other hotels in this destination. But all people was very helpful even without English skills.

Small and basic but what you need on this superb quiet island

Would stay here again! On the pricier end but we’ll worth the renovated interior and friendly staff. Amazon Echo and Netflix on the TV is a welcome touch. Can rent e-bikes and a 2-seater EV from the hotel. Can rent beach inflatables and fishing gear too. Recommend getting the breakfast, only 1000 yen extra and nothing else is open on the island.

Very nice service. Very helpful staff.
