- Check-out: Guests are respectfully requested to please vacate the room on your day of departure by 10h00 at the very latest!
Credit card payments can take a while to process, due to ‘bush’-telephone lines and slow connections. To ensure a swift departure - payments can be done the evening before departure or during brunch on your day of departure.
OKONJIMA is bordered by rivers, which are dry for most of the year. However guests are advised to check on accessibility during the rainy season!
