All rooms are private at this pension. A stunning beach with an uninhabited Island is within a few minutes walking distance, excellent store close by, staff are friendly, free shuttle service that runs to the port, and back, just look for the blue see friend bus and get on it, it is always there after the ferry arrives the pension is old and charming, fridge and electric kettle are provided, kayak and gear hire are there, the pension is the only place on the island where I found I could hire a kayak as a solo traveler, the rest seemed to be tour only. Maybe there are other places as well. Overall a friendly pension on a friendly island

The breakfast buffet was a good mix of Japanese & Western items to suit all palettes. The staff were friendly & cheerful, especially the dive staff (Gin & Sally). They spoke limited English but we managed to communicate and they were both helpful and knowledgeable.

The futons are way too thin for the tatami rooms and two need to be used. I have slept on tatami mats before and this is the first time it has been uncomfortable. The first two nights I slept with a towel to cushion my tailbone and to try not to move during the night.

I missed the pick up bus, but the've been so kind to come back for me. Room and bathroom not so nice like on the photos on Booking (old, dirty walls&bathtub, a bit), but got everytning what's needed, complimentary green tea🙂, clean, close to the beach, English speaking staff. Washing mashines.

One member of the staff made me uncomfortable, not a nice person. Thin walls. Bed was not comfortable I, could feel strings in the mattress.

Location was great! You have everything you need right next to the hotel (Aharen Beach, hotel restaurant, snacks & drinks for sale at the reception). The breakfast buffet had lots of options (rice, fish, vegetables, cereal, bread, fruit). You can shower and wash your gear in the common shower area below the guesthouse, and there's a place to dry your stuff as well. There's a free pick-up and drop-off service to Tokashiki and Aharen ferry ports!

Restaurant staff living next room and other guests were very loud, so it's not a place to get a good rest. It's perfect to snorkel at the beach or take part in a diving tour, though. Showers are in a public area below the guesthouse and warm water stops at 10:30 pm.

Amazing stay at this hotel!! The staff was super friendly and spoke english. They were very nice and helped us several times, for example we had an issue and they took us to the center in a shuttle. Also shuttle from the ferry into the hotel was available. Super friendly and helpful at all times! The hotel was very close to the beach and it had a great breakfast. Also, a few steps away they had a restaurant, so you could buy dinner there at night. Super grateful for the people there that helped us during our stay. Definitely recommended.

nothing bad. Everything was simply AMAZING!!!!

This is my first time back to this hotel in almost 7 years, and it's still as beautiful as I remember. The scenery and the beach are still stunning, and the service and food at the hotel are still top-notch. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone want to visiting AHAREN Beach. The hotel have everything you need for a great vacation, including water activities, delicious food, with reasonable prices. The service is also amazing, and they really go above and beyond to make sure you have a great time.

Staff is very accommodating, front desk went put of the way to make sure we understood everything including shuttle times, especially since we were foreigners. Restaurant was amazing and fair priced. Very understanding, before we even asked they already told us we could store our luggage in front desk, since there was am awkward time between check out and the ferry departure. We are so grateful for welcoming us on their island.

I really liked the convenience. The hotel bus was waiting for us at the ferry port to pick us up and take us to the hotel. The staff was prepared for us having items that we needed to be held prior to check-in (the ferry arrives hours before check-in) and they held our stuff for us so we could go out to the beach and enjoy the day. The location was perfect since it was close to the beach. There was a shower station and rental station right around the corner so we could clean off our gear and let it drip dry without needing to lug it around. The izakaya across the street had delicious noodles and drinks (not sure if it was part of the hotel or not, but it's right outside the door). Even though there are no convenient stores nearby, I liked that the hotel desk had chu-hai, beer, water, and Blue Seal to purchase at a very reasonable price. One thing to note, the rooms are VERY quiet. I'm a very light sleeper and I did not hear the people above me, or anything going on outside. I slept like a baby.

The breakfast felt very minimal on options. Would have liked fresh grilled fish instead of fried battered fish. Since the location is so secluded from going any place else (no breakfast places or convenient stores), you have to rely on the hotel's breakfast in the morning. I just wish the breakfast had more options that were fresh so that the day starts off good. Maybe more fresh fruit, veggies, pickled veggies, and grilled/baked fish would have made breakfast a better experience.

30 seconds from one of the most beautiful beaches, breakfast and dinner was very nice, friendly staff, many options for maritime activities as well as cycling, hiking, or island hopping. I truely love this place. One cannot expect more for this price.

The mat on the tatami was so thin so that my hip bones hurted 😆 they were kindly giving me a second mat and it was OK.

breakfast was great. Self serve, simple fare, but lots of options.

The futons were pretty thin, and my daughter, who’s not used to sleeping on mats on floor found it hard + uncomfortable. Room was pretty small so two small futons took up almost the entire floor space. Price seemed a bit high for very basic beach hostel type accommodations but that may just reflect local costs of island economy.
