Aka, Zamami hotel rooms at the Independent

"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."

"It gave us everything we needed. One minute to Aharen Beach and friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast buffet was excellent and the dinner at the restaurant was really good as well."

"Probably the most magical place I’ve ever stayed! They were so accommodating and thoughtful, and the amenities were very high quality and luxurious while still feeling very authentic (no Hilton vibes here!) There is no place like Zamami, it seems."

"Really good services. The hotel is very clean, the staff is very kind and polite. Comfortable beds and pillows. Amazing breakfast and dinner, a good surprise everyday! Definitely I recommend them! "

"The hosts were very accommodating and helpful all around. Meals provided were delicious and plentiful. I requested 2 more pillows due to my pregnancy comforts and it provided upon arrival. These accommodations are directly facing the beach, great location. The owners were promptly at the boat terminal to pick us up. So many great things about this place and I would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing yet adventurous ( snorkeling, water activities) stay."

"House was very nice and our family enjoyed our stay! "

"Wir verbrachten eine Woche im Hotel mit Halbpension und fühlten uns sehr wohl und willkommen. Das Zimmer war gut, die Sprudelbadewanne im Badezimmer war super. Das Essen wunderbar. Es gab abends 5 x italienisches Fünfgängemenü (Wahl zwischen Fisch und Fleisch) und 2 x japanisches Essen. Beim Frühstück stand westliches oder japanisches Frühstück zur Auswahl. Die Hotelküche beherrscht beides sehr gut. Das Personal spricht etwas Englisch. Genug gut für unsere Bedürfnisse. Ich empfehle das Hotel...

"The area is beautiful, the hosts are very nice and the food is delicious. However if the weather is not great - there is not much to do."

"Yuumi and her team were so lovely and made us feel so welcome in Aka! They picked us up from the port even though it was a short way which was so helpful with our luggage. Hosei is right on the beach front and you can see the best sunset from here as well as relax in the day. It is so tranquil! We went during New Year and many places on the island were closed but they served food which was very traditional Japanese style. The rooms and shared bathroom/shower were always very very clean.

"A short 15-20 min walk from the dock or maybe only 5 min on an e-bike, this was a very pleasant stay. The hotel is very clean and it wasn’t a hassle at all to share things like the bathrooms with other guests. Highly recommend if you’re looking to stay overnight on Zamami. "
