Hermoso lugar. A metros de la playa más hermosa de Japón y con todos los servicios. El personal muy atento y cordial, destacable la atención de todos. Vamos a volver sin dudas
Very good price for the location. A little bit hard on the back if you're not used to sleeping on a Japanese style futon(i didn't personally mind it, just a warning)
Lots of nice restaurants in the area and aharen beach is just a short walk away, and it's gorgeous!
One downside of Aharen is there's only one small convenience store, and it closes quite early, so make sure to bring snacks and amenities
The staff were very helpful and kind. Thank you for the shuttle to the port. We came early and were able get the room without waiting. The room were clean but there is no corridor, it is directly outside. The hotel is 2min from the beach
We wanted a place near the beach and this was just what we needed. The staff at sea friend are super friendly they even pick up and drop off all their customers to and from the ferry port. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was very hearty. Overall fantastic experience in a simple basic room close to the beach. You even get discount on snorkeling gear as a hotel guest and we saw lots of fish and a sea turtle just off the beach right across from the hotel. Thank you sea friend for being very kind and making our time on the island memorable.
The beach next to hotel is beautiful! The climbing up to observation deck is totally worth it. You get 360 degree view! We rented a small vehicle to drive around the island. Sakura is ready to blossom . The view is amazing!
We booked with breakfast & dinner package & was very convenient & good too,

Stayed in log home rooms and the walls were thin and could hear every door open and close and people in their other rooms. Our beds were so hard and uncomfortable too
Great little hotel. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Restaurant had amazing food. I would fly back to Okinawa right now just to visit this wonderful island and to stay and eat here again.
Walk down a short path to a beautiful beach! The free shuttle from the ferry port is great! The rooms are rustic and we shared a bathroom with other guests. The included breakfast was good.
Sea Friend was the best. Despite cancellation of the public ferry, Sea Friend stepped in to help everyone get back to the main island. Truly an above-and-beyond act of kindness that I will never forget.
