About the Dormitory: As Southern Beach Hotel and Resort does not have a purpose built dormitory for staff, we have rented two apartments. One will be the boys dorm, the other will be the girls dorm. Both apartments are next to each other. The resort will provide bikes for you to use to get to and from work, which you can also use on your days off. Note : You are responsible for the bikes. If stolen they will need to be replaced. Roughly 6000yen will be deducted from you next pay. Bikes being stolen is rare, and adding an additional 100yen lock to your rear tires will almost ensure that it won’t be. There may be no other Japanese staff from the hotel living in the same dorm (apartment block) as you. While in the first two weeks some past staff have worried that this will hamper their efforts to make Japanese friends or improve their Japanese, they soon realized that it is not the case. Rest assured, after settling in you’ll find that your dorm is a fun place to be. Of course, you’re more than welcome to invite your Japanese friends to your dorm. Make sure you get permission from your room mates first though! Items provided in the dorm: – Futon mattress – (No sheet, pillow or pillow-case. You can bring with you, or purchase them when we meet you in Okinawa). – Air-conditioning unit. Items not Included in the dorm: – Table – Chairs Dorm Fees Explained: At other resorts the dorm fees are deducted from your wages by the resort. However as Southern Beach Hotel and Resort does not have a dormitory, and instead we are renting two apartments for you, the resort will not deduct any dorm costs from your wage. Instead, we will collect the dorm fees from you directly each month after you have been paid. As mentioned in the tentative offer we sent you, the dorm costs for Southern Beach Hotel and Resort are higher than at other resorts (due to the costs involved in renting apartments for a short time, and purchasing things such as futons and airconditioning units etc. To compensate for the slightly higher dorm costs, you will be paid a higher hourly wage by the hotel. We will collect your first month’s rent when you arrive in Okinawa, so please bring it with you when we meet you in Okinawa. The amount will be sent to you by email soon, if it has not been sent already. For future dorm payments, we will either collect it from you directly in Okinawa if we are there, or will request you to transfer it to us at your local bank. Of course, we will absorb any transfer fees involved in transferring the money to us. Transfer within five weekdays of being paid will be expected unless stated otherwise in an email. We will explain this in more detail at the arrival orientation in Okinawa. International Telephone:None Internet: Hotel : There are customer computers in the lobby which you are able to use.
