This hotel is absolutely amazing! It’s so clean and beautiful. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, always going the extra mile. For example, when we checked out early, they prepared croissants to take away. We also forgot our water bottle on reception when leaving, but one of the staff members ran it to us in a car park! The restaurant on site is fabulous. The food is really good, and the atmosphere is nice. The views are breathtaking. There’s also a sauna, which is a nice touch. The Black Beach Walk is also scenic.

The hotels location is incredible; close to not one but two waterfalls plus other great attractions. Dont go to the black sand beach with all the tourists because the hotel has access to your own, private black sand beach. The staff was warm, professional and accommodating. They come tell you or grab you from the dinner table (as they did with us) when the aurora was showing! The rooms were small but nice. Only complaint about the room was the bathroom sink; it was too small that any time we washed up we got water all over the place! The food was delicious however the menu is small so if you’re eating dinner on site more than 2 nights in a row you may get bored. Overall, we would absolutely recommend Umi!!!
