Taketomi hoteles

Ventajas: Owner kindy picked us up from the port and organised car hire on our behalf , definitely need a car on the island . Rooms were very large and cleaned daily. great outdoor setting with terrific views Many great places to eat within a short drive. Highly recommend this accommodation

Ventajas: We had fabulous home- cooked meals for dinner & breakfast. Kimiko was an amazing hostess, a 1woman wonder doing the cooking, setting up tours, picking up guests & returning them to the ferry & cleaning rooms.

Ventajas: Just great. The person in charge, Kiyoko, is very friendly and cooks magnificent Japanese food. The place is very clean and peaceful. I want to go back there!

Ventajas: The staff were fantastic: friendly, helpful, and able to arrange services on the island such as car rental. The house itself is delightful, clean, and well-situated close to Uehara Port without actually being in the city. The gardens are expansive and beautiful. The suite rooms are large and well-provided for, with powerful AC and comfortable low beds. Breakfast and especially dinner were spectacular and well worth the price. All in all, Iriomote is a place I will remember fondly for the rest of my life, and that is due in no small part to Irumotesō.

Desventajas: I have no improvements to suggest. The whole stay was perfect.

Ventajas: El lugar es único por su autenticidad, belleza y simpleza. Kioko es la mejor anfitriona que se puede pedir. Los almuerzos y cenas que nos cocinó todos los días fueron deliciosos y completos. Una experiencia muy cercana y disfrutable! la vista panorámica es un lujo desde las habitaciones que dan al mar en el primer piso. El cuarto era amplio y limpio.

Ventajas: We had a wonderful stay at this beautifully located place. The big garden with view over the ocean is amazing, it’s definitely a little piece of paradise. Kiyoko welcomed us at the ferry station when we arrived, she‘s an amazing person full of good energy, always very kind and helped us a lot to organize excursions to discover the island. She prepared for us lovely Japanese meals in the evenings, we highly recommend. Our double room was very spacious, clean and with an amazing view.

Ventajas: Ubicación, comida, todo muy limpio y sobre todo la amabilidad fe Kioto y el personal!

Desventajas: Nada, tuvimos mala suerte con el tiempo pero el alojamiento estaba todo muy bien.

Ventajas: Inspiring hostess, very friendly and when asked willing to organize different kind of trips. Beautiful and quit place with a magnificent view .

Ventajas: We had an amazing stay in Irumoteso. The hosts are very friendly people and they serve great food (one of the highlights of our stay in Iriomote :)). Our room had a great view on the garden and the seaside. There is a nice common room for all guests to hang out. Washing machines are available - super useful when you come back from a full day trip to the jungle. If you don't have a car, there is a bus stop nearby (the bus goes only 4 times per day though). There is a shop and a few restaurants within 15 min walk.

Ventajas: The host, she’s a diamond. The kindest and most helpful host. Great cook too, her dinners and breakfasts were great.

Ventajas: We had a memorable experience! The owner is very nice , they invited us to watch the stars.Also, the breakfast includes fresh fruits.

Ventajas: Big Japanese style room. A little bit outdated, but clean!

Ventajas: This hotel was remote - not much close to the hotel but we were looking to disconnect and unwind which is exactly what the hotel provided. A car is necessary for you to explore the island. The room (we booked a Japanese style without realizing it -- my fault!) ended up comfortable and spacious for my family. The pool and beach were very relaxing as well as the several larger public beaches close to the hotel. While the hotel was nice, it was pretty expensive and probably not worth the price tag. I would definitely go back to beautiful Ishigashi but would likely try out another hotel next time.

Ventajas: We enjoyed the spacious room, the pool always quiet, the views and the beach nearby, but above all the staff, always friendly and helpful with all requests. The hotel is a little out but we had a car so no problems for us, and we really liked the peace and quiet.

Desventajas: The breakfast was good but lacked variety considering the length of our stay. More fruit from the island would be great ☺️

Ventajas: Japanese Breakfast was delicious! Staff super friendly and beyond helpful. Room spacious, quiet and clean. All amenities covered. The secluded beach is a few metres away. The pool is small but clean and calm. Such a relaxing and restorative place to stay.

Ventajas: Quiet place and very attentive and kind staffs

Desventajas: Breakfast was ok- I wish there were more options especially healthy options

Ventajas: Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly despite my lack of Japanese, and the food was fantastic

Ventajas: The staff was extremely friendly and helpful in organising day trips for us. Property is very clean and agreeable, the pool area is nice to relax with a few hammocks as well. Nice beach accessible from the pool area. Hot bath with a view on the rooftop is a big plus after a long day of activities !

Desventajas: Wish to have more Okinawa authentic food on the dinner menu.

Ventajas: The staff is warm and helpful at all times, the facilities are well maintained and clean. The hotel is a few steps away from a beautiful beach. The location is relaxing and quiet. The room was spacious and clean.

Desventajas: Breakfast/ Meals: I have a few food restrictions that I didn’t think to mention because I assumed breakfast would be a buffet and I would be able to find what works for me. Unfortunately it’s not and no substitution could be made for me, but I do think it would be ideal to have it in order to give guests more options especially ones with small children. More child-friendly options at meals would be great, particularly lunch. Other than this, my stay there was excellent.

Ventajas: This place is a perfect quiet oasis on a lush and remote island in the Pacific Ocean. Our room was fantastic! Very big, with two comfortable big beds, high ceilings, a great view to the ocean and on the pool area, a little balcony and even a small couch. While the climate was hot and very humid, the room was perfectly cooled down by the airco, and we slept very good. The staff is wonderful and helped us with every need - is it booking a restaurant, giving a short ride, ordering a taxi, and most importantly catering for our vegetarian diet. We stayed 4 nights and relaxed two full days at the beautiful and quiet pool area, while a dip into the ocean is only 50 meters away where there's a small and empty beach with calm and shallow waters. After two weeks traveling in Japan this place was our recharge oasis and we enjoyed every single minute while being there! We highly recommend this place if you want some quiet time off the touristy areas to relax and experience fantastic hospitality!

Desventajas: We liked everything! Just be aware that there's little public transport and you'll be best off with a rental car.

Ventajas: The staff was so friendly! Beautiful hotel with good access to a beach, nice swimming pool and very nice rooms.

Desventajas: It is a little out of the way (not that far) but if you don't have a car I would not suggest booking here, as busses are very infrequent. This is no way the hotels' fault, just so that people know.

Ventajas: Large rooms, cozy little beach in walking distance, friendly staff and great service.

Desventajas: Too far out, really needs a car.

Ventajas: Good service, delicious breakfast (minor improvement suggestions: coffee could be improved, orange juice is not fresh). The staff was very kind and caring. Unfortunately it was rainy for the duration of our 2 days stay and so we didn’t get to do anything really. They have a nice souvenir shop and we killed some time there. The cafe terrace by the beach serves very delicious snacks and if the weather permits, it is very pleasant to sit outside. This is a very quiet place rather for seniors or families. There is no breakfast after 10:00 and no dinner after 21:00.

Desventajas: The water buffaloes...I wish they weren’t tied up by their noses on a rope. Also one of them was always just sitting and I was wondering whether it’s because it is old or ill

Ventajas: Nice view and relax place

Desventajas: No

Ventajas: Beautiful and relaxing. Friendly staff.

Desventajas: Bed bugs... we were very disappointed

Ventajas: Overall looks like a 5 star hotel settings. I like the surrounding is very calm and open. The yoga place is a bit run down and the only outdoor pool is small relative to its site. They try to bring some educational element in order to compete with others like club med on Ishigaki island.

Desventajas: It’s like a luxury dormitory

Ventajas: We got an upgrade to a room with an ocean view which was amazing. Breakfast had a lot of options to choose from. And there were enough activities to do

Desventajas: We originally wanted to go for a diving tour for one day, but could not as there were only japanese diver instructors and we had to speak japanese to be able to attend. There were other activities to partake in though which was good.

Ventajas: Stunning view and resort - perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature!

Ventajas: Nice beds, nice outer terrace at our room, Private Resort beach, Nice and calm, friendly staff

Desventajas: I'm not really a fan of 'all you can eat'- buffet restaurants. Not really cosy dining. But the food was good. And everybody drives golf carts .. (noisy & not good for nature)

Ventajas: Excellent staff, super clean

Desventajas: If only the cart is free of charge

Ventajas: Very friendly hotel employees, nice beach, good restaurants (incl. cafe, bar and even a local store). Sea is stunning with high tide, book a trip for snorkling and visiting other islands if you stay long. Rooms spacious and nicely isolated, didnt hear any neighbours. Sea view worth it.

Desventajas: Too many families with small children but they have adults only restaurant as well.

Ventajas: El desayuno estaba muy bueno y la ubicación cerca de el muelle y la ciudad. A demás de que tienen garage.

Ventajas: Very good location, polite staff, tropical vibe

Desventajas: The breakfast was cold

Ventajas: The hotel had a tropical vibe, with lovely fresh flowers in the lobby. The buffet breakfast was hands down the best we have had! We got a spacious room with a balcony and bathroom amenities even included sunscreen and lotion! Would loved to visit again!

Ventajas: El hotel está perfectamente ubicado, a una calle del muelle principal. Podes ir caminando a cualquier sitio. Las instalaciones están muy bien. Hay lavandería gratuita. El desayuno es variado y abundante. Tiene algunas opciones de bolleria, dentro de los estándares de Japón. El staff es muy amable y predispuesto aúnque hay personas que hablan poco o nada de inglés. Justo en la esquina hay un family mart. Hay café, té y agua fría siempre disponle. Hay bicis gratis. Algo muy bueno para recorrer la isla. No hay restaurante pero podes usar el area del desayuno para comer en cualquier momento del día. Dan amenities muy variados, muchos de esos no te los dan ni en un hotel 5 estrellas. Dan un kit para niños con esponja y juguetes de baño para niños. Tienen un sistema de puntos donde uno selecciona que servicio quiere para la habitación (limpieza full, nuevas toallas de baño, nuevos amenities etc) si decidís no recibir alguno de ellos sumas puntos y luego los puedes cambiar por cosas como comida regalos etc. El bus que va al aeropuerto para justo a dos calles. La habitación es cómoda, pequeña pero cómoda. En Japón los espacios son reducidos.

Ventajas: Clean, comfortable, air flow, balcony is very good even it is small in size

Ventajas: Great stuff, comfortable room with small balconies. We liked the fresh breakfast and the tea and coffee bar that was available all day for free. They also had shirts to lent and a point system if you skip the room service. Great hotel! I would come back here.

Desventajas: The beds are quiet small and bit too hard for my comfort. Also you need to let your car key at the reception which I found a bit confusing and weird.

Ventajas: Nice staff, free bicycle renting (bike not so good, but it is free!), water and tea available on the ground floor. Good price-quality ratio. Well located. Appreciate you can choose options for room cleaning.

Desventajas: Breakfast was just ok. Not so many options.

Ventajas: The breakfast was very nice and the rooms very clean

Desventajas: A bit far from the port , no closet in the room

Ventajas: The staffs were so kind and friendly, the room is always clean and I really liked aloha shirts they borrowed us for free!

Ventajas: Breakfast was great. Laundry facilities very good. View of sea.

Desventajas: Double bed was tiny even for Japan standards. Not really suitable for two western size people. Room all up not very comfortable.

Ventajas: Very good location, few minutes walk to convenient store, and walking distance to public market. The room was cozy, well designed with multiple USB sockets etc.

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Location very handy for bus and ferry transfers and commuting. Staff highly polite and friendly able to communicate in English. Free herbal teas and free Hawaiian shirts to go out during the day (they must be returned). Great local breakfast (unusual as we hoped and expected)

Desventajas: Only one small detail. The bed was not big enough but both me and my wife are quite tall not just for japanese standard

Ventajas: Very friendly and considerate staff. “Omotenashi” hospitality. Great attention to small details and needs of guests. Location was great and gave us a small island/village feel. We could walk to various eating establishments and the food in the area were some of the best we’ve had. The beaches nearby (a few minutes by car) were awesome.

Ventajas: Ai and An were incredibly warm and welcoming, and spent time making sure I knew the area, where to eat and how to get around. I am gluten/wheat intolerant and Ai checked on every detailed to ensure my breakfast was ok. The rooms are comfortable, and spacious with a balcony. I really enjoyed the quiet and peaceful environment.

Desventajas: The time I was there a typhoon hit so limited some activities. The place had common areas and a TV/books but mainly in Japanese (unfortunately I don’t speak the language!)

Ventajas: Breakfast is good. Location is very close to Kabira park, just 2 mins walk. Staffs are nice and very informative, they introduced local restaurants to us which is very delicious at reasonable price. Roof top can see the beautiful view of Kabira coast.

Ventajas: The location was great for transportation, beaches & hikes. The staff were super nice & helpful and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable & enjoy the island with good advice & assistance with bookings.

Ventajas: The staff, the location (peaceful, yet plenty of good restaurants around) and a very short walk from the bay. Rooms are very clean! Very enjoyable rooftop terrasse and the common area is very cosy.

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: We had a 5-night journey at Lulaliya, with our 2 year-old boy. Very friendly guesthouse. The manager welcomed us and provided all the information needed to enjoy our stay in Ishigaki. The staff was always available, kind and helpful. Convenient facilities (cold water, fridge, flyers, outdoor tap and table...) And no mosquito in the room :D We wanted a relax journey to end our trip and Lulaliya was a perfect fit ! Thank you again!

Desventajas: Air condition in the room was not efficient at all. Maybe needs a fix? The common room was way cooler.

Ventajas: This hotel was one of the best accommodations I've stayed at in terms of cleanliness. value for money, hospitality, and location. Ai was incredibly hospitable and was incredibly helpful and accommodating! The location could not have been any better. There were super restaurants nearby.

Desventajas: I would have liked a nicer duvet blanket and possibly nice Japanese Bidet toilets.

Ventajas: La cercanía a la parada de autobús y la cantidad de autobuses que pasaban

Desventajas: El día de salir del alojamiento fueron insistentes para que abandonáramos la habitación,una vez en recepción esperando a que llegara la hora de irnos,comprobamos que dos horas más tarde aún no había llegado ningún huésped...

Ventajas: The staff was really nice, they gave us a lot of advice and information on the area, with good English level. The room was nice and clean, the balcony was helpful to make the clothes to dry after the beach. The air conditioning was working well. The room was quiet (except when people were talking in the corridors). The location was convenient with restaurants close and reachable by foot.

Desventajas: The bathroom was a bit small, but it is common in Japan.

Ventajas: Good location

Desventajas: /

Ventajas: El trato de los dueños y la ubicación

Ventajas: Simple and bright place. Provide all the basic things you need. Nice host and staffs. Good suggestions for both activities and restaurants. Very close to the Kabira bay and bus stop (within 5 mins). Cost-effective.

Ventajas: Super friendly host and extremely helpful. Very clean and organised place.

Ventajas: The place is owned by a young couple who are very helpful and informative. We were a family of 4 in a Japanese style room with bathroom, reasonably priced. The location is central and yet very quiet and pleasant. Must try a restaurant ( izakaya) “SETSUKA” where we had a wonderful Okinawa music experience with singer and dancer. We all stood up and danced !

Desventajas: It was too windy , so we could not leave windows open , but to turn on the air conditioning.

Ventajas: Super friendly staff, who helped us sort car hire and kayaking, with excellent recommendations. The traditional feel to this place is lovely and the location perfect for exploring the picturesque Kabira Bay. Will definitely be back.

Desventajas: Nothing really. It’s a little bit smelly in the room, but this is probably due to the salty air and there are air fresheners to sort this out.

Ventajas: The nice and friendly staff couples in the hotel are talkative and helpful

Ventajas: It was big, clean and the the staff was super friendly and helpful.

Ventajas: Waking distance from Kabira bay; super friendly and helpful host (we got a lift to the nearby beach); large air-conditioned room with big comfortable beds; rooftop sitting area with views of the bay. Please be aware that you can’t swim at Kabira bay, but nearby beaches.

Desventajas: Everything contributed to having an amazing time and enjoy the incredible landscape

Ventajas: The staff was very nice and helpful The location is very good but you should have a car

Desventajas: So disappointed about the breakfast. You can’t choose anything, they cook 1 menu everyday, and they don’t ask if you like it or not. They tell you when you have to come everyday ( for us it was 8am .... if you are late, they come to your room to wake you up. ) We didn’t get the last breakfast because we left at 7:15am ... Also, we had little insectes in our room, even after the cleaning. And you have to make your own bed everytime after the cleaning service.

Ventajas: La chica de recepción muy amable y atenta.La habitación de estilo japonesa correcta pero realmente el precio es excesivo para lo que ofrece.

Desventajas: El lugar está muy cerca de Kabira Bay pero lejos de todos los demás puntos de interés y el transporte no es nada útil.Solo un par de buses al día.Hay que moverse en Taxi y cada movimiento son 4000 yenes.El hotel es agradable pero muy básico y perdido en un pueblo donde no hay nada.

Ventajas: Los anfitriones fueron super amables. El lugar es lindo, con una buena ducha caliente. Esta rodeado de restaurantes y mercados.

Desventajas: Habia un olor extrano por momentos en la habitacion.

Ventajas: Lovely place! Friendly and welcoming family owners! We really felt very comfortable staying there!

Ventajas: The woman that runs Joya is so helpful and friendly. She made our stay!

Ventajas: Los empleados fueron muy atentos por satisfacernos. La ubicacion es buena teniendo en cuenta que elegimos ir al norte de la isla, al lado de la bahia y con una parada de autobus justo delante. Muchos restaurantes ricos cerca para comer y cerca dek sukuji, otra playa con un paseo precioso donde ver el atardecer

Ventajas: Staffs are very nice and prepared the map showing the cafe and restaurants nearby. So chill at roof top, you can see so many stars at night. Basic bedroom suitable for budget traveler. Good location. 3 mins walk to Shiraho beach. And just 5 mins drive to airport. Quite and lovely neighborhood with a little pig and sheep in front of the house.

Ventajas: I knew the staff would be great, but they truly exceeded expectations. They were incredibly kind and it was clear they wanted to make our experience on the island a memorable one. Very grateful for all their help during our stay.

Ventajas: The staff were brilliant and extremely helpful. They help you plan your time in Ishigaki & make reservations for you. They also pair you with other fellow lone travellers to enjoy trips together. From the roof terrace tou can see the beautiful stars at night and the amazing sunrise over the sea at 6am. Beach 3 min walk, local shop and a few restaurants which I highly recommend. The locals were very friendly and helpful. Bus pass 2000¥ from bus driver for 5 days. Excellent value.

Desventajas: The bedroom was extra small so difficult to get dressed in there. The wifi was poor in bedroom and outside terraces. Buy a 2000¥ 5 day bus pass to get you into town. The last return bus is at 9pm, so if you want to stay out in the city at night, it will be difficult. However, I loved the rural nature of this property and was glad to be away from the city.

Ventajas: Shiraho guest house is a very nice place to stay because it is in a quite district, near to all beaches by car, plus there are two fantastic men (hiro and yoya) who run the guesthouse that will explain to you each day what is the better beach and place to see/discover. Thanks for all. I hope to have the possibility to come back soon.

Ventajas: One of the best and friendliest guesthouse that I stayed in during my travels in Okinawa! They will really make sure that you know where to go on the island, and help you so you can get there. Super flexible and helpful, a great environment to stay in, especially for first time travelers to Ishigaki!

Ventajas: Everything was wonderful,the staff,the place,the atmosphere)Hero san is very kind and helpful person!!!He will teach you the best place on Ishigaki so u will be have a happy memory of you trip!!! Hero san thank u so much,hope see you again!!!)))

Ventajas: The Staff was very friendly and good when you want to know where to go on the Island. Nice village for a coffee and dinner.

Desventajas: It was not very clean. Both room and in particular the kitchen. WiFi was only working at the reception. Everything looked old and ready for a renovation.

Ventajas: Hiro-san and all the great staff was amazing! I booked by mistake a male dormitory bed and i got to be in a private room for the night :) The hostel got everything you need, the common area is so nice. You can do a yoga lesson with Yuki! Shiraho village in a very nice place to stay with great restaurnts and nice cafe in beautifull location. Arigato!

Ventajas: The staff are awesome, place very clean. They are lovely and very helpful. I spent only 3 days but I wish I could had have a week at least.

Ventajas: Nothing bad. Large room, Jp-style bathroom, affordable price for pick-up. We experienced a nice and unforgettable trip thanks to "Hero" さん, the owner.

Desventajas: A bit difficult to find the location. Probably would be better if there were few signs out there

Ventajas: The location is good, only ten minute walk from the main bus stations yet no so close to the night life area that it is quite enough to relax. There are also options of facilities you can choose to go for while staying there for quite a cheap price like bicycle renting, parking spots and so on. The front desk is very friendly. They also hosts activities and dinner party once in a while. I would recommend this to anyone.

Desventajas: The area itself is quite ok, though not if you're an early bird. Only convenient store and port would be open before nine or ten. The bus to Kabira Bay comes every two hours, though taking taxi is not really a bad idea as the price is somewhat acceptable (around three thousand yen).

Ventajas: Cleanliness

Desventajas: Unwelcoming staff. On the day of departure both me and my friend were mistaken about the check-out time which is 10AM (we thought it was 11AM). Our mistake obviously but the way we were treated by the staff was shameful. We were basically expelled from the hostel and the staff member did so in the middle of the public area in front of all other guests present. I apologized for the mistake initially but the staff member just kept repeating the same as if I’m stupid or as if we were trying to “pull something”. Worst service I have ever experienced.

Ventajas: Even when it is very small, it is very comfortable and practical

Ventajas: Hostal con buena relacion calidad precio. Cerca de la calle principal de Ishigaki. Relativamente cerca del puerto. El personal fue muy amable con nosotros e inclusive nos ayudaron a reservar algunas actividades.

Ventajas: Todo.

Desventajas: Cómo de bien descanses es fruto del azar. Si, como en mi caso, tienes la mala suerte de tener en las camas contiguas a personas que roncan o que no paran de hacer ruido, la experiencia no será tan buena.

Ventajas: Everything was nice clean and comfortable, it was great!

Ventajas: Very cool with friendly staff. Had a lovely stay.

Ventajas: It’s beautifully done, they recycle, it’s clean and has good facilities, at walking distance from the port and bus terminal. Very good restaurants nearby.

Desventajas: There was a strange smell in the locker.

Ventajas: The guesthouse in general was very good! Very friendly environment, pleasant to stay in. It was clean and the room was comfortable (not small). Community room was nice (good design) and kitchen facilities were very good and clean. They pay special attention to explain how everything works and they are very careful on not making noise in rooms area. They change towels every day (which I found a great touch detail). Location was great (about 15min walk from bus/ferry station, and shopping area). Restaurants very close as well as convenience store.The staff was very friendly, always ready to help and give you advice. I would come back and recommended for sure.

Ventajas: Great and very comfortable place, close to the center, clean and very nice team. Ill be happy to stay again.

Desventajas: The location its not next to beach but i cant expect more for the price I paid. Everything was great!

Ventajas: Super comfortable hostel! It was probably the best hostel I ever stayed in. The beds were comfortable, bathroom and common spaces were really nice and clean!! The common space is really good for meeting people and I had such a fun stay.

Desventajas: One small thing, after I checked out and 10, I left the hostel and came back at 11 and waited in the common space of the hostel for maybe 10 minutes until I had to catch my bus. The staff then came up to me and said I have to pay a 700¥ fine for overstaying.. I was quite angry about that as I payed for 6 nights and checked out in time! In the end I didn’t have to pay but still it left me feeling a bit uncomfortable..

Ventajas: The staff was very nice, especially credits for one girl whose name started with M I think. They would always help me with my problems even though their English wasn't perfect. The bed was comfortable after all hard asian mattresses in other places. Good bathroom facilities with dispenser soaps and towels. Very affordable bicycle rental.

Desventajas: It was pretty noisy as you seemingly have your private space but basically you are sleeping in a dorm of +20 people. Also the safety worried me as a solo woman traveller because there were no locks on doors and only a curtain between women's and men's dorms (altough nothing happened)

Ventajas: Location is unsurpassable with great views from every room and the sound of the sea just yards away.If you want the kind of efficiency where space and homely decor make you feel totally relaxed this is it. There is a superb veg shop and fish and meat market in the city - easy bike ride away: have a go at some Japanese meals or revert! The owner and staff though are so friendly and knowledgeable about the island that you get to find all the places to visit on this laid back tropical island. When at the hotel you feel at home.

Desventajas: Don't expect luxury touches _ not a disadvantage for us.

Ventajas: The owner are very nice and helpful.

Ventajas: People were very nice. Don't mistaken, it's not an hotel, it's rooms to rent. Therefore, if you want to have a breakfast, you have to tell them so. You can't come in the morning, willing to have breakfast in the place because it's rainning outside. There's one place not too far for breakfast. The place is a little far from everywhere (15 mn walking from the nearest family mart, 40mn from the city, 40mn from a real beach). When the tide is hight, you can swim down the hotel, if there's no wind (in the morning for example) ; but you can not lay on the beach and rest. Because there's no beach Regarding the room... it was perfect : large room, with everything, people very nice. My wife didn't like too much the bed, but it was OK for me. There's a balcony where you can stand, but it's not large. There's a kitchen (no microwave) where you can cool a little if you want. A fridge, and over tools we didn't use and I don't remember !

Desventajas: it's a little far from everything

Ventajas: The view is amazing ! The flat we got was on a corner, so we had two patio doors overlooking the magnificent sea around Ishigaki. The place was big, with a small kitchen for us to prepare meals when we didn't want to go out. There is a parking, so you can park (it's better to rent a car in Ishigaki if you want to roam freely).

Desventajas: The water of the shower was changing temperature suddenly. When set correctly it suddenly went to cold, then hot. The beds were a bit flat.

Ventajas: On the ocean and kitchen

Desventajas: Bedding and bed

Ventajas: The owner can provide the variety of water sport (Snorkelling, diving, fishing...). Very friendly and recommended a few excellent restaurants.

Ventajas: The room was spacious including a kitchen and appliances. It was right on the water with a nice view. The owners were accommodating after an initial misunderstanding and brought us pineapple.

Desventajas: It would’ve been very difficult to communicate without our Japanese friend. The rooms are misleading as they show a pull out couch and some sites state that the rooms fit 3 people, however we had to pay an additional $200 usd when we arrived to have a third person in the room. They were accommodating after this but it was a bit frustrating. Room is a bit out of the way and taxis were a bit pricey but there’s a bus stop nearby.

Ventajas: Tv, A/C, bed, view

Desventajas: The bathroom wasn't shiny.. but still ok.

Ventajas: The owner is sincere and welcoming. Tried her best to accommodate our needs, both in the guesthouse and activities arrangements. However, typhoon cannot be controlled and not able to enjoy water sports from them.

Desventajas: Limited speaking English. May have to try Google translate and body language to guess the real meaning at some point

Ventajas: Estuvimos 5 días durante nuestra luna de miel y fue una experiencia genial. El hotel es increíble, el servicio exquisito y las villas preciosas. Perfecto para relajarse y desconectar de todo. El hotel te facilita transporte al pueblo y bicis para poderte mover por la isla.

Desventajas: El desayuno no estaba incluido y la verdad es que pica un poco y no tienes mucha alternativa. Debido a los corales no te puedes bañar en la playa más cercana al hotel.

Ventajas: Room was tastefully furnished and supremely comfortable. Staff were polite and demure. The island is quaint and easy to explore. Quiet and blissful.

Desventajas: Only 1, traditional ryukyu, restaurant. No poolside dining or bar service. No bar. No spa facilities other than treatment rooms. No "international" menu.

Ventajas: The staffs are so great and thoughtful. The starry sky is so beautiful, especially when you look up in the swimming pool. We had a very good time!

Ventajas: The seasonal dinner is wonderful! It makes you feel like a travel of art! The aromatic combination and delicate color of every dish allows you to be intoxicated in HOSHINOYA's atmosphere, a modern and traditional food of japan. Thank you for your service.

Ventajas: The hotel design and premises replicate the local traditional village which is excellent to experience the local culture and atmosphere. The staff are very friendly, helpful, attention to details, made you feel very comfortable. The food is superb, the in room dining is best in class, delivered right on time and quality is good. The hotel provide lot of activities and events which you can spend your time relaxedly.

Ventajas: Fabulous retreat

Desventajas: A bit far out of the town but good taxi services Local beach wasn’t great but access to both pools made up for it

Ventajas: El desayuno espectacular, la habitación preciosa, en recepción de 11 de la mañana a 9 de la noche hay bebidas de cortesía para los huespedes

Desventajas: La playa cercana al hotel no es apta para el baño Piscina no muy grande

Ventajas: This was a great hotel! The staff was absolutely fantastic and do anything for their guests!

Ventajas: Breakfast is great.

Ventajas: The food was really really good: buffet dinner was a mix of local okinawan and western dishes, with clearly an experienced chef preparing the western food (French influence) with delicious and authentic foie gras, seafood chaussons, crepes etc. and including local alcohol (awamori). The swimming pool is nice and clean. Free draft beer machine in the hotel lobby! Rooms are clean, well furbished and spacious

Desventajas: No beach front. Closest beach is a few minutes'walk away but just soso. The swimming pool is small. It could be much bigger if the area dedicated to a small pond with funtains was actually a pool

Ventajas: Comfortable and big appartment Friendly staff

Ventajas: The hotel is very new. We enjoyed the room.

Desventajas: The hotel is not well suited for western guests. The pool did not meet our expectations. everything looks much better hon the photos. the hotel is at the beach, but there is no beach facility. only a few staff do understand english. the breakfast is very Japanese style. Ishigaki is so far away from everything, it makes sense to spend more money to be at a hotel that meets western expectations on this island.

Ventajas: Very huge hotel resort. And very big rooms with comfortable bathroom and luxurious beauty amenities. The resort has 2 pools (you can use both of them) and best breakfast we ever had at Okinawa - you can try so many local food! Pool towel service is also nice.

Desventajas: Biggest disappointment was the beach - very dirty! Also the hotel area is nothing special - huge tank of water in the middle is full of mosquitos who eat you to death immediately after sunset.

Ventajas: Well, it's a "resort" on an Island. Other than that, it's quite a disappointment. Breakfast was nice and decent.

Desventajas: Well, first of all, I really don't know how this is 4 star. We came here for our honeymoon, and did expect to leisure about on the beach with a nice cocktail in our hands. or the very least the pool. No bar, not cocktails. No beach close by. I mean, there is a beach, but the sewers of all the hotels in the area is dumped there. It smells terrible. The hotel is not close to Ishigaki city (which is old, run down, and quite neglected). You have to take the shuttle bus that drops you off in a different hotel in the city. There is no way to explore the island without a car, as the shuttle bus times are extremely limited! last bus to hotel is like 19:30. Now, we wanted to eat dinner at the hotels restaurant. You have to make reservations, even if you are a guest at the hotel, and even if it's half empty. Prices are absolutely insane, and definitely is not cost appropriate for Japanese meat. They do take advantage of the fact that the hotel is not in the city. 8000-10000 yen for dinner per person each and every night is absolutely ridiculous. We also went to another resort that is connected, which had a restaurant there. They wanted the same prices for Ishigaki beef dinner, 200g of meat total for a couple! We never encountered prices like this in Japan before, except in top rated restaurants, which was definitely not the case here. Moving on, we were instructed to leave "please clean" sign on the door before 10am every morning. We did so on our second day, and went to the pool until 13:00, assuming they would have finished by then. Imagine our surprise when we came back and the room was not clean. My husband went to the front desk and asked for cleaning services for that evening as we were preparing to go to the town for dinner. He also mentioned that the floor was filthy with stains (that is how we received the room upon check in), and asked to mop the floors. we returned the the room was tidy, but the floors were still dirty.

Ventajas: Rooms were big. We had garden view and the terasse was great for hanging out in the morning. The breakfast is very nice and diverse. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Desventajas: The beach is a concrete walkway by the water. It’s great for seeing the sunset, but not so much if you want to sunbathe/ take a bath in the Ocean.

Ventajas: Good location, nice sea view from room and helpful staff.

Desventajas: Would be good if the freshness of the bread at breakfast could be the mproved

Ventajas: Location

Desventajas: Service room not cleaned bed cloths left thrown on floor after maid entered no toiletries refilled. Not answering when called for service. Have wrong information on bus times almost missed my flight because of the poor attention to service and communication. I would not stay here again

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Location

Desventajas: No chair to sit down and the outlet is too far from the bed.

Ventajas: Breakfast is relaxing and the food is good, salad and coffee are amazing. Room is clean and tidy. Staff is very helpful. Location is perfect. 1 minute to bus terminal, ferry port, Family Mart, within 5 minutes to a couple of nice izakaya.

Desventajas: No hooks for hanging clothes in washroom.

Ventajas: must try the breakfast it’s quite value for money, plus it’s delicious. Staff don’t speak English but she let me check in ahead of time which is quite nice. Location is very good, near the ferry and center. Got the last room of the hostel which with the view of the harbor, lucky!

Desventajas: None

Ventajas: The staff was very friendly even though she spoke limited English and I speak very little Japanese. Breakfast was extra but well worth it for what you get and the very little cost. The room was nothing fancy but was clean, comfortable and plenty spacious considering typically Japanese hotel room sizes. The location was very convenient being close to the bus station, the ferry terminal, a harbor, local markets, and lots of restaurants.

Desventajas: There is no elevator which was not a problem for me but could be an issue for some, especially if you pack heavy and need to get your luggage up the spiral staircase. No electric kettle in the room for making tea/coffee but there was a filtered hot water tap downstairs in the common room.

Ventajas: Very friendly, small but really nice. Rolf Beutel

Ventajas: Centrally located to shops, restaurants, bus and ferry terminal. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was clean, basic and good value for money. Nice breakfast. Will stay again if coming back to Ishigaki

Ventajas: This place is an amazing little spot to stay at with the best location on the island (right by the ferry and near many restaurants and food spots). The breakfast is absolutely fantastic for 100 yen and the owner is extremely kind and accommodating. Fantastic stay and highly recommend to anyone visiting Ishigaki!

Ventajas: Es perfecto para un par de noches al lado del puerto ferry y estación buses al aeropuerto

Desventajas: Nada

Ventajas: Narita-san was so sweet and helpful. You can't beat the location or the cleanliness of this place. It was very minimalist but that is not to say all your comforts weren't provided for. Every consideration was met. I would definitely love to stay here again.

Desventajas: Loved everything!

Ventajas: Era el único alojamiento que tenía habitaciones disponibles para ese día. Está limpio

Desventajas: Es caro, no es cómodo, es muy básico. Solo compensa quedarte aquí si es solo una noche de paso.

Ventajas: Beautiful setting, wonderful staff (who speak a bit of English), fabulous dinner.

Ventajas: Quiet and clean

Desventajas: Rental towels for the pool

Ventajas: Friendly staff, complimentary valet parking, sea view balcony, clean and spacious room, pretty gardens!

Ventajas: Clean, easy to walk around the resort

Desventajas: Wifi slow

Ventajas: We were in the coral wing with the view of the sea. We usually went to the beach in the morning, lunch in the buffet restaurant, dessert in the lounge, And then swimming pool in the afternoon, sometimes a snack in the little shop. The hotel could provide all we needed for a lazy holiday.

Desventajas: The little stones on the beach are annoying when barefoot. The queue for breakfast could be long, we were not used to the idea of having to queue for breakfast. But then it is probably just for the peak season.

Ventajas: Location. Bath products. View from bedroom

Ventajas: I enjoyed the breakfast choices however their coffee was just ok. I liked the warm indoor pool. And their suite which however could not be offered to me until my check out and was reimbursed with points. To me it would have made a big difference if we were allowed to keep the suite for the entire duration of our stay especially since we are Ambassador members and we pay extra for these things but this is always the case with Intercontinental: they cannot offer an upgrade or will not offer for the entire duration of stay. Other than that...unless you have a suite, the rooms are boring and old fashioned. Everything is bland and impersonal. It is, as usual, too expensive for the standard but this is how it often is in Japan.

Desventajas: I didn’t like the beach where you cannot just walk or swim like on a normal beach...everything is fenced around like a pool for animals...it is discouraging already when you look outside the window and see the small “fenced” swimming area. Kids were everywhere...this is less relaxing...the hotel is a family hotel.

Ventajas: The hotel was spacious and comfortable. The hotel restaurant food was delicious. There is a free public bath or onsen, segregated by gender, allowing people to unwind in the hot pool

Desventajas: Although i have seen reviews that the hotel was not value for money, i chose to stay there as it was my first time in ishigaki and I wanted convenience (near the beach, and one of the stops on the public bus line). But I wouldn’t come back to stay if I came to ishigaki another time. Given that it is located at Maezato beach, It would have been better if they allowed free parasols or seats for hotel guest as a hotel perk.

Ventajas: quiet, peaceful,

Desventajas: long way to the visit any sightseeing

Ventajas: Nice pool

Desventajas: I found the cockroach in the room

Ventajas: The facility , the location, close to beach, nice restaurants

Desventajas: A bit pricey

Ventajas: Great location, a few min. walk to bus station, around 5 min walk to pier. Eateries within 10 min. walk. Clean room and nice staff. Also provide air purifier in room.

Desventajas: coffee

Ventajas: Very good location.good service.

Ventajas: Location is great - right next to the port and bus terminal. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Hotel provided free smartphone for our use. Breakfast was ok.

Desventajas: English level of staff

Ventajas: - Excellent location within 5-10 minutes walk to shopping, convenient stores and some of the best restaurants at Ishigaki. Also very close to the only dive shop MC21 here. - Super helpful staff who relentlessly assisted me as the organiser of a dive trip for 12 non-Japanese staying at Cucule. - Availability of a special room for washing and drying dive equipment. - Nice gesture of giving small gifts on a daily basis to guests for being environmentally friendly when full cleaning of room is not required - Clean rooms.

Ventajas: Such a central location just next to the bus terminal and ferry and just around the corner you have convinience store Family Mart which is open 24/7 and has ATM which accepts foreign cards. Delicious breakfast each day with free coffee, tea available in the lobby during whole day. Great terrace facing sea, good for evening relax. Staff is always willing to help, but sometimes English conversation is little tricky :)

Desventajas: Bathroom little run down, but spotless clean!

Ventajas: Perfect location in the middle of the ‘city’. Lovely varied breakfast, free bike hire and super friendly staff. We stayed for 5 nights and used it as a base to explore the island and surrounding islands and given it’s close location to the port and bus terminal it’s perfect.

Desventajas: Nothing

Desventajas: Que no habia sitio (armario) para dejar el equipajd

Ventajas: Everything!!!!! Will stay again. Such a sweet man when we checked-inn. ❤️ Big room. Loved the interieur. Free drinks. Breakfast good. Next to bus terminal and ferry. Familymart across the street. Free gift if you participate eco clean room. Great atmosphere in whole hotel. 10+++

Desventajas: WiFi sometimes weak. Personally for me the pillow to flat and the matras to hard.

Ventajas: La habitación muy espaciosa. Servicio de lavandería con monedas muy completo. Te daban el jabón y había plancha. El desayuno muy bien. Las instalaciones no son modernas, pero es cómodo. En pleno centro y muy cerca del puerto. El personal muy amable

Ventajas: I like the groove and the super helpful staff of this property, they always try to find a way so that we could enjoy the island to fulliest. It was very nice sitting outside in the evening or whatchin the sunrise from the rooftop.

Desventajas: We had to take the private room with bath, since no other rooms were available. I think the price is too expensive for what you get and you hear the neighbours as if they were in your room

Ventajas: Nice and very helpful staff (however they speak only decent English.) Good location, close to ferry and bus terminal Good breakfast + free tee and coffee throughout the day Restaurant next to the reception with reasonable prices and delicious foods for lunch and dinner Rooftop terrace for relaxing Free umbrella at the entrance in case of rainy weather The room included also a free mobile phone for calling home or even searching infos on the internet.

Desventajas: quite small room no wardrobe or shelf in the room

Ventajas: Decent size room, good location (near busstops and ferry), comfortable beds and good breakfast and very clean sheets for a good value! Fun rooftop for relaxing! Staff was very nice, some spoke English very well.

Ventajas: Big room, big bag, good location to watch stars.

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Very quite, breakfast tastes good.

Ventajas: The staffs are kind and nice to spend a lot of time to help me for car rental. Thank you so much. I really appreciate their effort and attitude.

Desventajas: Communication took time a little bit more; otherwise it’s wonderful hotel.

Ventajas: Breakfast and clerks were both awesome

Desventajas: Nothing it was great

Ventajas: A room was larger and more clean than I expected.

Ventajas: Stayed in the hotel for 4 nights. Breakfast was great with lots of variety. Loved the brown sugar bread. Room size was great. The laundry room was located at the 6/F and we utilized it on the 2nd night after our outdoor activities. Proximity to eateries and shopping area. The staff helped us to make a restaurant booking in advance. Thank you so much!

Desventajas: Though the hotel is just located 8-10 minutes away the Ferry Terminal, dragging luggages from/to the Ferry Terminal to/from the hotel under the hot sun/rain might be tiring since there is no shelter on the way.

Ventajas: + 10-15 mins walk to the port terminal, where u can take ferry to islands (suggest u join a group) or bus to the airport. I used taxi and it cost me around 3000¥ to the hotel. + Staff is surely helpful if u cannot speak Japanese. + You can free bike rent for the 1st hour the 500¥ for each hour. + you can take a taxi to near by beach for around 1000¥. I went to Maezato beach. on the date of check out. I took all my belongings to the beach. there is a small locker can put ur valuable stuff. There are glass kayak (3500¥ 30mins), swimming gears, chairs(2000¥ 1 hour) you can rent, and free shower with hot water in the beach.

Desventajas: + u have to pay to watch TV + pay to get detergen + the airconditioning is not comfortable. and have to re-start every time u entre ur room.

Ventajas: Good location close to the port and right in the centre of town.

Desventajas: The rooms were very old fashioned, damp and unclean. There was mould growing on the walls in my room - I changed rooms and the next room was just the same. The bathrooms are very small and damp. My biggest concern was the fact that I returned to my room to find that the housekeeping had left the door wedged open. There is no safe in the rooms so this was a serious issue. The rooms look onto a brick wall. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this hotel, it certainly isn’t 3 stars, I would give it 1 or 2 and it is very poor value for money.

Ventajas: Location is good, staff are fine and nice.

Desventajas: only want to say is : No choice for the breakfast.

Desventajas: There is no free parking lot.

Ventajas: Was their for a Triathlon. They had a large room set aside for our bikes and was perfect. The fresh made Onigiri was just topping on the cake! Awesome!

Ventajas: Location is good!

Ventajas: Wonderful hotel with great hosts and staff for a modest price. Superb.

Ventajas: Location, hip, clean.

Ventajas: Great location, clean, very comfortable beds, nice bar in the hotel with rooftop access to watch the sunset, great staff.

Desventajas: The view is of the harbor not the open ocean, so it was more industrial looking than I had expected, but still a nice view with great sunsets.

Ventajas: Great location right next to the port, friendly staff, clean rooms

Desventajas: Rooms are definitely on the small size but expected in Japan and in such a center location. No parking is available (paid/free) but there is a huge carpark opposite hotel.

Ventajas: Nice simple breakfast, cleanliness and friendliness of staff.

Desventajas: Although I stayed in a non smoking room, smoke still entered my room from neighbouring rooms. I was also placed across the laundry and it was very noisy when the laundry room door was left open.

Ventajas: Staff very helpful. Big and spacios rooms. Good breakfast. Also, lunch and dinner are very good and not expensive compared to the restaurants on the island.

Desventajas: Unfortunately only one staff member speaks English so it is very hard to get anything done. The location is very bad as it is far away from the city or the beach and the only option is to pay 1500/2000 yen for taxi.
