Kurima Island Kid friendly Vacations

What a beautiful location and property! We loved staying here and wished we were able to stay longer. Pros: * The staff were outstanding. They went above and beyond for our family. * The location is quiet and just beautiful. * The breakfast buffet, pool, walkability to the beach and a washer/dryer in our room made this stand out. Cons: * Japan is a reservation focused country, we found. We found it a challenge to navigate some of this at this location. If you want to have lunch, for example, you need to make a reservation for the shuttle and a reservation for some of the dining locations - lunch is not provided at this hotel. *

The property was beautiful, but a bit rundown. The accommodations are old. The staff is very nice, but not super accommodating, at least for American standards. The property requires some updates.

Old property. Not a good air conditioning but staffs are very friendly.

We stayed in the hotel for 3 days and 2 nights in a premiere pool villa for my birthday weekend. Our stay was absolutely perfect. They provided a free shuttle from and to the airport. The staff were also able to communicate in good English and were very polite and accommodating. My fiance was able to surprise me in my room with the help from hotel staff. As for the food, we dined in the Western restaurant (Beach House Restaurant KISSHO). The menu changed slighty every day and they were all very good. They had a good variety of dishes. One chef in particular, Mutty, was very nice and friendly and made us feel at home. They were able to make me a cake (for a fee) and sang me happy birthday in the restaurant. They definitely made me feel special on my birthday :) Our room was also amazing. We had our own private pool and our villa was very spacious. There were some insects in the pool, but that's to be expected when you're in nature. Also, as long as you turn off the lights during the night, there would hardly be any bugs in the pool, which you can also clean with a small net. Everything else in the room was perfect and I honestly could not think of anything that could have been better. Overall, I would definitely book Seawood Hotel again when I come back to Miyakojima.
