Izu Islands hotel rooms a the Independent

"It’s a lovely hotel on a beautiful beach. The breakfast buffet is very delicious and the ocean view from the onsen was magnificent. The staff is incredibly friendly."

"Check and check out is always smooth. Lovely views from all the rooms. The PET-OK rooms are well furnished. Dog run is real grass not cheap artificial turf. Love the heated pool. Breakfast buffet quite good. "

"The room is excellent - the highlight of my trip. The furnishing looks very new. Room is clean. This is the first time I've ever felt like I was treated like a queen. Upon arrival, they helped us park our car and unload our luggage and brought to our room. They took our shoes and stored with them upon arrival. We were greeted with snacks and coffee while waiting for check-in. Then the hotel manager kindly walked us through the hotel amenities and room. They then helped us set up the room for dinner and cleaned the table and set up the bed after dinner. Truly felt like a queen here. The only two things I'd say is if dinner include other meat options (we were pretty sick of eating fish for several days in a row) and getting to the hotel by car was a challenge. There was a very sharp turn so you had to drive out a bit and do a u-turn. After that, there was a very steep downhill. For those driving by car, be careful! Other than that, everything was top notch."

"Wonderful stay, beautiful facilities and rooms and extremely helpful staff! A big thank you to Risa for making our family feel at home! "

"Beautiful area and walkable to the beach"

"The hot springs were really good. The hotel itself seemed a little dated. The restaurant was only available if you reserved in advance. The other restaurant/bar was closed. "

"It feels peace and comfort"

"The hotel is very modern and new compared to previous stay at kamenoi. The dinner catered is modern japanese/french fusion cuisine "

"Not much English spoken (Google translate to the rescue) nor on the menus, first night we went to the dining area but were escorted to the snack bar for some strange reason, WATCH OUT for the stealth “bathing/ hot springs” tax of ¥600 at check-out, even though we didn’t even use the pool or any other facilities (not a word of it when we checked in- hadn’t we been pressed for time to return the car back at Haneda I’d have refused to pay and told them to call the cops but hey…), not even a sachet of coffee in the room, air con kept switching itself on a few minutes after we switched it off."
