As you walk in there is a gorgeous front porch with rocking chairs. The hotel is so intimate with only a few rooms and you feel like you have stepped back in time and are staying at someones house down South in Charlestown. Sepia photos, an old gramophone, wooden floorboards and an old- school library. It reminded me of that... More

My wife and I selected this Inn without really knowing what to expect. We wanted to visit an interesting, non touristy location but did not want to stay in a typical motel room. We were hoping for a hotel with some character that was at least moderately comfortable. O'Keefe's surpassed our highest expectations. We were met on time at the... More

And they should, with only five rooms. the place is comfortable and charming, a lovely place to hang out when you're not out exploring or diving. As others have commented, the place is very well thought out, with a space for everything, and a great dive closet on the veranda to rinse and dry your dive gear. Your dive boat... More

We selected this place based on reviews here and weren't disappointed. Airport transfers were handled efficiently. All staff we met were nice; they were there when you needed them but kept in the background otherwise. The rooms are small and I was a ltitle disappointed at first. But then I started to unpack and place bags and items and discovered... More

Okeefe’s is a small, 5 room inn. The rooms are small and at first we were wondering how we were going to fit all our stuff but there are a lot of nooks and crannies and it was perfectly fine. The rooms have an old Colonial décor which I thought would be weird but it was very nice. Some places... More

We arrived in Yap at around 1:30 in the morning and were met by Jay from O'Keefe's. On arrival at the hotel I was astounded at it's beauty, O'Keefe's is a small wood built building with only 5 letting rooms. Our room was so beautiful with wooden floors and very tastefully decorated. We also had a small balcony overlooking the... More

It's hard to say enough good things about O'Keefe's. From the moment they picked me up at the airport to when they dropped me off, every detail was covered in a friendly and efficient way. My room was literally right on the water (it was like being on top of an aquarium). The staff was professional and were able to... More

I stayed at Okeefes Waterfront Inn last week with 3 other guys on a dive trip to Yap. We are all diving instructors or divemasters, and wanted to enjoy the pristine waters of this remote island state in the FSM. This is the second time we stayed at Okeefes. The best reference for this is the fact we wanted to... More

After making absolutely last-minute plans to visit Yap for the dances and cultural displays on Yap Day 2011 (actually two days, Feb. 28 and Mar. 1), I was particularly grateful that the staff at O'Keefes was willing to give me a room, even though it meant cleaning the room of a departing guest at 3:00 am so I could move...

We traveled to Yap to get away for a few days and stayed at OKeefe's Waterfront Inn. The staff were great and all knew our names before we got there. There are only about 5 rooms. There is a small restaurant across the street that is part of the inn with good food and more reasonable prices than Manta Ray... More
