Cypress Resort Kumejima

Excellent service at a beautiful setting. Highly recommend this for those who want to chill out with snorkelling opportunities right off the beach.

Cons: Carpet was filthy, mildew smell in room, mold in bathroom, no coffee in room, very expensive dining option with no other restaurants or cafes in walking distance, no gym or entertainment rooms or options for rainy days, no area for kids to play asides from beach and pool which is not an option in the rain, shuttle only goes to bath house, not family friendly, children are defined at this hotel as 0-5, if you child is 6 or older they will be charged per person even though all the rooms are the same. Pros: the hotel let us change rooms, the pool beach and view are wonderful, the 2 massage chairs and public bath are nice, the staf try hard to help.

Room size is good. Excellent food served for such hotel rating. Very close to the airport / airport runway : 8 flights a day so not an issue especially when out most of the day Shallow beach perfect for families Infinity pool is nice but a tiny bit small when so many kids in it. Just learn about other Guests routines and you ll be fine. The only three issues are the following: Only a few staff speak decent English and this is an isue when you: 1. Have a payment issue 2. Need to go beyond the limited guest / staff polite chit chat 3. Need to have your room cleaned to western standards on a daily basis Finally make sure that you keep every receipt with the ‘paid’ stamp on it otherwise they will charge you.....not a big deal once you have been warned. Will return.

The room was wonderful and had a great view of the ocean. The breakfast spread had a ton of food, but few western options. There was little or no air conditioning in the elevator or upper hallways. The in house massage has moved out of house and across the island, at least 20+ minutes away. We found the lunch and dinner menus reasonably priced, but you could run up a bill quickly. For example 500 yen for a not quite full glass of Coke. If you plan on joining to tour to hatenohama, please be aware that the tide schedule determines the length of stay. We only were there one hour, and it was $35 per person. My recommendation, if you visit the island, rent a car. There is plenty to see, but the hotel only offers the one tour.

Great for peace and quiet. Travelling to the different town centres requires coordination because of its distance. But note that there is a public bus that stops directly in front of the hotel lobby.

The location is just 5 minutes from the airport. The ambiance is very relaxing and the staff are really really accommodating and helpful to us, even though we don't speak Japanese. Highly recommended for people who wants a carefree and relaxed holiday. And also, you can view the stars and milky way in the pool area!

I really enjoy the stay at the hotel. We really wanted to stay away from town and alone to relax. Even thou it was in the middle of nowhere, there is a free and town bus which stops in front so it was comfortable. The personel was really kind, but please note that English skills here a limited, and in my case basic Japanese really helped. Outstanding breakfast with a view.

Situated next to the beach with nice pool and gardens. Friendly staff who accommodated our requests for extra bedding and ancillaries without question. Hotel is on bus route and so access to key areas of island is easy and cheap. Hotel food was a little pricey but breakfast was superb. We would definitely stay again.

Very good customer service. Highly recommended

Resort located only 5 mins' drive from airport and can see aircraft taking off and landing while has the sun set as background. The room can be described "Huge" compared to other accommodations in japan. Many many selection of breakfast buffet and very oishi. Hotel has free shuttle bus for picking up and dropping off according to the flight schedule. Extremely helpful and polite staff, always willing to help communicating with the taxi drivers and always banned when greeting you. Very nice accommodation experience and definitely will come back again.

Very nice hotel and friendly staff. lovley pool

Not very easy to communicate in English. Far away from everything else.

Location is just a few minutes to airport, but is not close to key attractive scenes. But calling taxi is very easy, we can ask hotel or restaurant to call. I am satisafied with the hotel overall including the breakfast and swimming pool and especially all the staff. You almost can see them working from the early morning to late at night every day with very good attitude and they are willing to help as much as they can. thanks for the hotel staff again!

The hotel staff were very courteous and accommodating, and the hotel was immaculate! The only thing that would make this hotel better is some sort of coffee maker in the room with cups, etc. In the morning, there were no facilities to make and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea while waiting for the sun to rise. Just a suggestion!

Clean and tidy room with friendly and helpful staffs.

Peaceful place to stay, perfect for taking a break from city life

The pool view of the hotel is beautiful and just a few minutes walk to the beach for sunrise/sunset. And the Japanese food of the restaurant is very good. I will come again in future.

Nice location, great infinity pool, excellent food, good facilities, good bikes ro rent and drive around the nice island. Very relaxing.

Great resort.....excellent rooms and courteous staff members. Would defiantly recommend the resort!

The Cypress Resort Kumejima is one of the better choices on the island. To call it a resort is a stretch, though. The facilities is old and the rooms are quite musty. The old dirty carpet needs to go, too! The beds are pretty hard and uncomfortable, as well. Eating at the property is also very expensive as are many of the extra day tours. The view, on the other hand, is beautiful and the pool is amazing. I would recommend outdoor chairs for the balconies off of the rooms, though. The hotel is right on Shinri Beach. It is very peaceful and quiet on this side of the island. Unfortunately, most of the action and restaurants are across the island on Ifu Bichi. If you bring your own car or rent one, you can get anywhere very easily. All in all, Kumejima is worth the visit. It is such a contrast to the hustle and bustle of Okinawa-honto. Plus, it is incredibly beautiful and diverse with anything from beach activities to hiking in the mountains. I would recommend staying at this property but to call it a resort is not accurate. It is a decent hotel, with a decent breakfast included and decent amenities. Just know that it is not at all a resort. It was adequate for our needs by not luxurious.
