Amami Resort Basyayamamura in Amami

The facility was relatively small and convenient for going out to eat, taking out the car, and doing anything else. The room was cleaned nicely. It was October, a relatively quiet time, so the bath was also empty and I was able to use it comfortably. I wondered if it would be small and dangerous if it was summer vacation, but... I thought that even though it was a large bath, it wasn't that big. Dinner was very delicious. Breakfast was a buffet, which was a bit disappointing, but considering the price, I think it was fine. All the staff were nice. It was my first time in Amami, and I was surprised that it was more mountainous than I expected, but the hotel alone gave me a tropical feel. It was close to the airport, which was good. There was a convenience store nearby, so I don't think you'll have any trouble. The souvenir shop in the hotel was not more expensive than other places, so I was able to make purchases with peace of mind.

We were able to snorkel in the ocean right in front of us and enjoy watching the tropical fish and coral. The food was also very delicious.

nice!

Accomodation was great, everyone is kind and cheerful. Location is fantastic, swiming with turtles and fish on the beach in front of the hotel is magical. Dinner was the best I had throughout my trip in japan, best sushi ever. 5 stars is not enough to describe the amazing time I had here while on my honeymoon.

Great location, great food, great hospitality.

Spacious room. Pool in the center of the resort and just a few steps to the beach. There's also public bath/onsen that you can use.

Perfect restaurant by the beach. Relaxing view and good food. It was so good we went again the next day. Ordered lobster sashimi twice. Yummy!

We arrived from Tokyo at the end of a typhoon, it was touch and go if we could land or not, we were the first plane to land for some days. Understandably the hotel was in a bit of a state, ie, no electricity, swimming pool full of sand and many palm trees ripped out of the ground. Some buildings had been damaged. There was no electricity on the whole Island .The hotel restaurant had been flooded so was closed when we arrived but it opened after a couple of days. This is a very nice hotel, the staff are very helpful and friendly. English language is sparse, my wife has a little Japanese. The restaurant is decorated in tropical style and the food is very good, Japanese and Western. The hotel is situated on a beautiful beach with a dive shop and watersports centre. The staff and contractors were hard at work repairing the beach, vegetation and trees . There is a small shop on site. This is a japanese style hotel as almost all visitors are from the Japanese mainland The rooms are quite small with western type beds , a toilet and shower cubical. I think most westerners would say the hotel was a little bit tired. There is a new ,modern building next door which I think is part of the hotel, its was closed, The onsen type spa and bath is popular with guests. The room rates are good, less than most hotels on the island. We loved the island, lots to see and do, great island museum and a very good art gallery . The weaving workshop and showroom is amazing, its famous in all japan for its astonishing kimono fabric with astronomical prices. Dont miss the Snake display shop !!!. Wonderful beaches , some with cafe's and restaurants and amazing scenery on this mountainous semi tropical island . The weather is good year round. Typhoons common in sep/Oct. We hired a car for the 10 days we were there . Our children and grandchildren live on the island. They recommended this hotel. Date of holiday. October 2018.
