    The hotel is quite old but well maintained and very clean. Very well located. English speaking staff was very helpful in renting snorkeling gear and recommending dive shops. After the check out we could still use the facilities- take a shower after the day at the beach before boarding the ferry.

    Rooms slightly dated and expensive for Japan but seems about the price for the island.

    The staff were exceptional! Location is ideal for both main beaches and free shuttles from hotel too. Rooms are large and have everything you need.

    We had a room with a balcony facing the south on the first floor. The view was disappointing because land in front looked like a garbage dumping spot. The Balkony was only useful for hanging up cloth. The breakfast is nothing special and is and extra for 1000 yen

    We had a great stay, maybe we get the chance to visit again. Since the island is really beautiful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. With more complicated requests it's easyer to use an translation app. There is cold water(always) . Coffee and Tea (not at nighttime) for free. A really big comfort is the beach shuttle that going to the two most popular beaches at specific times directly operated from the hotel. In specific to furuzamami beach it is really nice since you would need to walk up the hill(sometimes without a walkway) To Ama beach it is easyer to walk to (watch the sunset from there. It's beautiful) With a international driver license you can use the small two-people electro cars (additional charge) or e-bikes (also additional charge) Thank you for the stay

    Breakfast wasn’t very tasty and there was very few options to choose from. Every other day they serve Japanese breakfast and every other western style breakfast. Overall facilities are also quite old (but everything is clean and working) and that’s why price is quite high compared to value.

    Extremely helpful and nice staff. Location is central and easily accessible (the village is also super small). Customers are also able to rent electric bikes which is super nice.

    Breakfast was very bad for the price and out of main living room and front desk, the lace is more like a backpacker hostel quite expensive for the type of facilities.

    Very helpful staff and good enough facilities, close to all interesting beaches, little cafés and lookouts. This is a fantastic island, perfect getaway to many other gorgeous islands. Their EVs are a great plus.

    Staff were very friendly and helpful. Tsukasa and Kumar both made sure that everything was taken care of and they would arrange car pick-ups to the beaches, and also the ferry, as we had luggage to carry. The hotel is in a good quiet location, but still very close to the ferry and bars and restaurants. The lovely Furuzamami Beach is 15mins walk away. We had a big spacious clean room with a small balcony and en-suite bathroom at the hotel.

    breakfast options were limited to what they decided to serve. one day was more of a Americanized meal (eggs, toast, rice, bacon, soup), while the second day we were given a more traditional Japanese style breakfast (with fish, rice, soup, cold veggies). I do wish the type of breakfast could have been a choice as I don’t eat fish, so the meal was mostly waisted.

    This property is located on Zamami near the port. It was roughly a 20 min walk to Ama Beach, but the hotel does also offer a shuttle to and from the beaches as well as small electric cars to be rented (discounted rates for guests). Ama beach had several sea turtles in the morning (before 11am) during high tide.

    Some facilities felt a bit outdated or needing a general renewal, like the bathrooms and some common areas.

    Oceana Portvillage Zamami was a nice place to stay! The hotel is close to many places to eat, the supermarket and has a lot of support facilities (renting snorkel equipment, a bike, activities, etc.) The staff was very useful and helpful! In the morning you may chill in the common area and have a coffee. Rooms were as in pictures and better than other options we found in Zamami village.

    look this hotel is not 5 stars - it's a small room with with small beds and the balconies could use a paint job. but as long as you go in expecting this, you will be delighted. Just be aware that Zamami is small and manage your expectations wrt the facilities and this experience will be amazing.

    Amazing location with friendly hosts and extra support that made us feel welcome. Zamami is a gorgeous location - from what i have seen far superior beaches to anything on Naha. This hotel is convenient to the top beach and the turtle beach, as well as right next to a great dinner spot. We visited both beaches and had convenient free shuttle service. Didnt have to book any of that in advance the team just jumped in to help us and our children. As a bonus, breakfast service was great and even though it was Japanese breakfast day (they alternate w Western), the chef made a special meal for my kids free of charge. Extreme value for money and very pleasant stay. would recommend to anyone.

    - it would be good to have more choice from the restaurant for dinner if you don’t want to go out (but I guess this might be due to the corona-related problems)

    - the attention of the staff - large and comfortable rooms - the outdoor patio - the shuttle service to/from the beaches - the nespresso coffee available in the hall

    It’s not the property, they are working hard to provide a clean, safe and fun environment. The island of Zamami is just very desolate right now, only few businesses open and some wouldn’t provide service because they did not have bilingual staff?!?!?… We recommend Oceana Portvillage, they will work hard for you to enjoy your time.

    Staff went out of their way to provide great hospitality. These are difficult times and businesses are doing all they can to stay alive. This team worked hard to earn our business and recommendation.
