Amami Resort Hotel Thida Moon

"It was my first time on Amami Oshima, and I wasn't familiar with the area, but the location was fantastic, and the food was incredibly flavorful. I didn't find the sea slugs I was hoping to see, but I was more than soothed by the breathtaking starry sky I saw for the first time. ✨"

AZ Hotel Amami Island

"I book this villa for its outdoor jacuzzi, but turns out that the jacuzzi does not work!! I contacted the hotel email and received no reply for my 2-night stay. The shower hose on the jacuzzi tub got only the shower head without the tube, and so the "jacuzzi" renders to a big bath tub, which of course makes a difference to having a real jacuzzi. The location is also quite remote. The hotel is situated inbetween pieces of land where the locals pay tribute to their ancestors (you get what I am referring to). Personally I am fine with that, but nonetheless want to point out for prospective guests to take note. I have rented a car to get to the hotel on its GPS. I am not sure if its remoteness makes the car unable to arrive at the hotel on its GPS resulting in me going back to the car rental seeking for help. If it is not for a local staff there to take me to the hotel, I probably won't be able to arrive at the hotel relying on GPS (note that the car's GPS is fine getting to other places on Amami Island, just unable to locate the hotel). Apart from the above, the hotel is as described per her other facilities (except of course the jacuzzi). It is clean too. Still, I would not book it again."

Cabochon Camp

"If you don’t speak Japanese or have a car, do not stay here. The taxi driver had no idea where it was and no signs when I got there. It is very ramshackle and messy, with little indication of where to go for the cottage. 5 mins to the beautiful Tomari beach and there is a restaurant. The locals took me to a festival which was fabulous, but other than that I didn’t see a soul for two days."

Amami Lucky Life

"It was on the second floor of the Weekly Mansion. I'm 59 years old, and there is no elevator, so I couldn't carry my large suitcase up the stairs. I asked to change to the first floor, but they said it was full and impossible. The woman at the reception reluctantly carried it to the second floor, but she insisted that we don't offer this kind of service! I was pretty scared. I wish Trip.com would provide more details about the floor of the room and the type of place you're staying at. There was a lot of dust under the bed."
