We stayed in one of the villas. It was so peaceful, and the gardens surrounding the villa were lovely. We enjoyed the outside spa tub - it was very private. The room was spacecous and had good air conditioning. The location was ideal (with a rental car) as we could access much of the island easily. We did the diving tour from the hotel which was convienient. The breakfast and dinners were great, although the dinner was quite pricey.

The hotel has ample parking and is not too far driving from the airport. We rented a car at the airport and dropped our bags off in the morning prior to check-in. I believe there is also a bus from the airport which stops at the door of the hotel. The staff on reception were very accommodating and helpful throughout our stay. The room itself was phenomenal, very large and with a surreal view out over the sea. Everything in the hotel was very clean and they provided us with all the necessary amenities for free. The breakfast buffet has a wide range of foods. We also booked a snorkelling tour at the hotel to see clownfish and manta rays, it was really well organised and we were lucky enough to see both animals. The location of the hotel is also amazing, very close to Kabira Bay and Yonehara Beach.

We had dinner one night at the hotel choosing the barbecue option. It was very overpriced and we were a bit disappointed with the food. We preferred to eat at some restaurants in Kabira. Le Dodo was our favourite restaurant in Kabira, we ate there twice. We also enjoyed a meal at Sushi Jimbei in Kabira. If you have rented a car then there are plenty of family mart shops if you drive about 25 mins south to Ishigaki City. Our room at the hotel had a fridge freezer so we were able to stock up on groceries at the start of the week. Ishigaki Island Fruits Land was another favourite near to the hotel for fruit juices, fresh fruit and sorbet. We also enjoyed fresh fruit juice at Kabira Farm

The staff was really friendly and you could some great activities such as diving, snorkeling, SUP, etc. The view from the room was right to the sea and it was beautiful. The breakfast was good, with a variety of local food. The dinner buffet had the local ice cream brand and also sashimi, which were good. The dishes with chunks of pork, and the ones with cheese were good.

Although the beach in front of the hotel was beautiful, it has many rocks and I ended up hurting my foot. Besides the dishes mentioned before, most dishes were ok, with a few not very good. The beef sushi was dry. Moreover, even though we got a pamphlet saying that there was a barbecue option available for dinner every day, when we tried to make a reservation the staff told us it was unavailable. The bathtub had a few small chips and the corner of the bathtub with the floor was a little dirty.

The facilities Pool Room Nature

Anything that is connected with food and drink is astronomically expensive and alternatives including Kabira beach after 6 PM are non existing, except one small convenience store, a half an hour walk away Too long waiting time at Checkin because this Hotel has millions of rules that the guest needs to be taught when checking in Late check out costs per hour (!) 2200 Yen Access to other remote parts of Ishigaki is extremely difficult unless you rent a car

The room is big w comfortable sofa. The sea view was nice, but we were not lucky w the weather Dec 23-26. whole four days were cloudy. no sun at all. only one day on 24th but it’s like five minutes only. location wise no issue, since I drive whole trip and Ishigaki is close even to the downtown. and it’s very close to the stargazing spots up hill close to the competitor’s loc. english speaking staff, huge parking lot. 👌🏽

I got an allergic reaction, skin rash and itchiness the next day after they cleaned up the room on the third day. Whether it’s from the pyjamas or the sento might be dirty. I went to the doctor as soon as I arrived in Tokyo, and the diagnosis was an insect bite. Bed bug?

Very good value for the money. Excellent location on a beach, within view of a key snorkling/diving location. Room was clean and comfortable, and big enough to fit four beds in - with a nice ocean view. Very near Kabira Bay. The breakfast was abundant and varied, with western and Okinawa options, fresh fruits, bacon, eggs and a chocolate fountain. A great value. Comfortable swimming pool to soak in after a day at the beach.

Coffee. Would appreciate some one cup drip coffee in the room, Was able to buy teabag coffee in the shop in the lobby, but had no milk, creamer or sugar. The coffee in the buffet was not so great either. But other than the coffee, I was very pleased with everything about the hotel.

- I loved how the beach was so close and so many water activities were available. (We tried marble boat ride and snorkeling which were both available from the hotel) - Breakfast buffet was very delicious. - Loved going to spa after a long fun day at the beach. - It was a dream-come-true vacation for our family of four, including two kids (age 12 and age 10).

The only issue we had was the food. The breakfast buffet was wonderful however for lunch and dinner, the only choices were buffet (which we really didn't want after the buffet breakfast), and course meal dinner (too heavy & expensive). The resort was in a remote place which gave us much privacy and quietness however finding diners were a hassle (it was impossible to rent a car so we ended up taking buses - bus timetable was awful...)

Amasing views, great breakfast, great communal bath, beautiful beach, spacious room, quiet, and friendly staff most of which spoke english well.

The diner buffet was jummy but the only option, I do not prefer buffet after already having had a breakfast buffet. There are a few restaurants close by open tue - sat, of which I liked Dodo the best.

We booked a villa which was really great, spacious and comfortable. The surrounding, garden is really nice.

As there is not much eating possibilities around, we tried once the buffet for diner. It was quite expensive for the food quality and does not meet Japanese standards as we usually find in any izakaya downtown. Be aware of the noisy crows early in the morning! A bit overpriced. A car is highly recommended.

Beautiful location with gorgeous views of the sea and sunsets. Staff were super helpful. Very nice breakfast with plenty of options. We booked partly because a previous review had said good for vegetarians - whilst the buffet did not have any vegetarian options, when we asked the chef made us fresh vegetarian food for dinner. Included a salad, soup, main course, and dessert.
