Izu Islands hotel guide. Villa Fontaine hotel in Izu Islands, Tokyo Prefecture

"Very nice and quiet resort directly on the beach and beautiful views. Only a few minutes from the train station. Nice public bath with indoor and outdoor areas, sauna and one with bubbles. Several restaurants on site, but booking required and we only ate there once. It’s an isolated small village with almost no other restaurants (one nice ramen place, but not open every day) close, but train to other places only takes a few minutes. During the day hotel also provides shuttle to Kawazu or the more active can walk the 20 minutes. Overall would recommend this place!"

"Pool was under repair and not useable; we were not aware of that prior to arriving. Was not noted on booking etc. We might have held off travelling to this location or booked at another time when pool was operational had we known"

"Great shuttle service. Clean. Great staff. Meals are to notch. Need new carpet"

"The shuttle bus service is nice because the hotel is on top of a hill"

"This was mainly a quick overnight stay for me. I found it easy to stay here as an English speaker because most of the signage is in English. The airport shuttle times are annotated clearly. The breakfast buffet was very good, but there was a long line of people waiting at the coffee machines. I think the dinner options could be better as only a large kaiseki style meal was offered. There are balconies with the ocean views, but the seating is indoors. Overall, I would consider staying here again if i came back to Hachijojima Island. "

"I stayed here to relax and chill at the onsen, be close enough to the coast, and be able to use the kitchen. And because there was shuttle service to and from the train station that you can access with reservation. The room felt like a sanctuary, with view of the mountain and water, space to meditate and do yoga at the tatami mat, and take a nice bath a the tub with an incredible view. Bed was medium firm which was a relief and their disposable drip coffee was delightfully top notch. Enjoyed the warm indoor pool but most of all, relaxing at their outdoor hot spring with the sound of nature. Showers and change room were spacious and nice. Staff was attentive and responsive to my inquiries. The hotel is walking distance to restaurants, convenience stores and bus stops. Hotel does need some updating at the main area especially the carpeted stairs but I would still come back here in a heartbeat."

"Room was big and spacious, however maybe due to the age of the room, the place felt that it didn’t have sufficient lighting. We need to make futon beds ourselves too, not like the previous ones I went to - they usually make it for you. Bath tax per person was applicable in cash only upon checkout. Breakfast and dinner were nice and the staff were friendly and helpful"

"Absolutely excellent facilty. Super hospitable staff."
