Ishigaki hotels

Pros: Kind staff, very helpful Clean Very nice view Good place to chill , better to rent a car to visit the island(s)

Pros: Staff were excellent, Josh the manager, sought to ensure everyone had the best choice of activities on the island. Small intimate hotel on a quiet (in October,) island.

Cons: Internet was a bit erratic. The north of the island is sparse in eating places and car hire is essential, to be fair the blurb does say this.

Pros: Beautiful location and nice staff. Good breakfast and probably nice swimming pool and beach when no typhoon and rain.

Cons: Nice view from the room but very small and old looking. Same for the bathroom, not very convenient. A bit disappointed, I was expecting more for the price.

Pros: Great location, Great helpful staff, Lots of tea/coffee on offer at all times, Decent value for money

Cons: 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.

Pros: 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.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: 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)

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

Pros: 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.

Pros: 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.

Pros: 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.

Pros: 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!

Pros: 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!!!)))

Pros: It’s not just a property They promote the interaction among the guests so making solo travelers to have good memories with new friends

Cons: They provide local secrets which general commercial accommodation do not provide. The deep and authentic spots are covered.

Pros: Stars and sea.

Pros: Hiro-san and Yuya-san go beyond to make sure you are having the best time on Ishigaki. They provide great area maps, recommendations and got me a cheap rental car! The rooftop is amazing for stargazing. Really lovel guest house!

Pros: 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!

Pros: 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.

Pros: 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.

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

Pros: The pension was very nice and The owner of the pension was very kind and useful. She was always available for suggestion and tips, she reserved for us restaurant and also the best sushi in town, then when I told her I am not a big fan of Japanese breakfast with soup or tofu, she prepared for me always bread and hams with yogurt which was very appreciated.

Cons: We liked everything, nothing to complain about.Location was very nice, in front of a resort with very nice beach. Only advice is to rent a car, If not you're far from everything but the resort so you cannot enjoy the island. We had a car, so everything was OK.

Pros: The staff is really friendly. They help us when we got some issues with our returning flight. The bedrooms are quite big. The pension is located near a resort (with pools) which is possible to access with an extra fee.

Cons: It is easier to access this pension by car. We didnt have a car but still manage it. The bus is only going once an hour so you need to plan you journey in advance. There is no restaurant or grocery store within walking distance. You need to reserve a place for the restaurants at the resort and they were often fully booked and quite expensive. I would suggest to get a car if you want to stay at this pension.

Pros: The bed was very comfy

Cons: There should have been ash trays on the deck at the back of the room

Pros: Breakfast was really good, both western and japanese. You can rent a bike and ask for advice, the owner is really friendly and helpful!

Pros: The pension is beautiful, nice terrace to sit outside, comfy beds, everything you need and the most helpful and welcoming host.

Pros: Super cosy place with amazing hosts! Tamoko san is super helpful and cheerful! The bed was super comfy and breakfast delicious. Great hammock on the balcony with green jungles behind.

Cons: Nothing to add. Even the construction around the area didn’t bother us.

Pros: We stayed as a group of 3 for five nights, in 2 twin rooms. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with a really cozy feel to it. Facilities were all good, and the aircon saved us from the summer humidity. One of us got heatstroke halfway through the trip and the lady running the hotel went out of her way to help them, including making isotonic drinks that we’d otherwise have to visit the port to buy. Breakfast at 500yen a day was a steal, with huge portions and delicious homemade food - even freshly baked bread!

Cons: Wifi was a little weak but l it did work, I can’t think of anything else I’d want to change

Pros: Tomoko was an excellent host who answered all our questions. We often walked to the nearby Fusaki Resort to go to the beach and pick up snacks at their indoor store. Ishigaki is a stunning place!

Cons: Not necessary a bad thing, depending on what you are looking for, but the location is a bit far removed from town and the bus runs only 5-6 times a day.

Pros: Very helpful staff :-)

Pros: Delicious breakfast

Cons: Nothing

Pros: 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.

Cons: coffee

Pros: 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.

Cons: English level of staff

Pros: - 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.

Pros: 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 :)

Cons: Bathroom little run down, but spotless clean!

Pros: 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.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The staff was helpful and tried to answer all our questions (not all of them speak English). The rooftop terrace is amazing. The hotel has an eco-program one can join upon arrival. If you do, towels will not be changed and room not cleaned everyday. As a token of appreciation you get a little present when checking out.

Cons: The hotel has seen it's best days in the past. Everything is clean, but some touch-ups would do the hotel good. Breakfast is only served until 09:30, so if you want to sleep in you need to go elsewhere.

Pros: Location is good n breakfast is delicious

Cons: Lift is too small

Pros: 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.

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

Pros: 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.

Pros: Pretty clean, very quiet, perfect location, amazing cheap breakfast

Cons: Host treats you like a baby but is otherwise nice. First question asked before introductions is are you a smoker despite "no smoking" mentioned in the booking and signs in room. Also walks you up 2 staircases to explain unnecessary things that could be said at the counter. Communication could be better. Single bed is small and not firm enough. Only 1 pillow. Need at least two.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: THE breakfast is FANTASTIC for only a 100 yen (about $1)!! The location to the bus terminal to get to airport is great (block away) and the ferry terminal (a block away) for the other island adventures. Washer and dryer were ok in the hallway (except again, no A/C in hallway); they will provide a fan upon request (do ask for one)

Cons: NO A/C in hallways (its brutal to walk up 3 stories in the interior heat); no coffee machine in room; room was very small; A/C in room was barely sufficient (and the control device was only in Japanese, no English markings or even symbols on it);

Pros: The place is clean, everyday they clean the rooms and change towels and other stuff

Cons: The price is very very high compared to the service offered: the Reception is always empty (wi fi does not work but i cant tell to anyone...) and the hotel is super hot, upstairs and downstairs does not match too much so i was a bit confused we saw the woman when we checked in and she'ss not speaking english. We met other guests at the entranc with the same feeling so i think the pictures and rates are a bit unfair. It's the first time that happen to me in Japan but i was very upset by the quality/price ratio, for the same price you can find other options.

Pros: Just next to the port and bus terminal hence you have buses from the airport and can also go to Kabira Bay. Good for eating places too, all within walking distance. Nice owner who makes a pretty breakfast for only 100 yen, who cleans the rooms every day. Comfortable futon beds. Washing machine and dryer available for a small price and there was a fridge in the corridor.

Cons: You do not have windows that offer you a view, so it was dark and a little claustrophobic in the rooms. For the price, though the rooms were en-suite, they were basic.

Pros: 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!

Cons: None

Pros: Loved breakfast and service and how central the location was. Great internet and air con

Cons: We loved it all, just that we are quite old and found sleeping on futons and tatami a little harder than we expected!! Loved the experience.

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

Pros: My friend and I had a comfortable stay. The hotel is near the port and bus terminal. The transport is very convenient. The owner is very nice and helpful. Breakfast is worth to try.

Pros: 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.

Cons: Loved everything!

Pros: The staff were very helpful and friendly, and good location next to the beach.

Cons: The hotel is currently expanding quite significantly and our room was overlooking the building works.

Pros: The room, the food and being so close to the beach.

Cons: I thought my room would have an ocean view when I booked. The garden room was still nice though.

Pros: Quiet and clean

Cons: Rental towels for the pool

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

Pros: Clean, easy to walk around the resort

Cons: Wifi slow

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

Pros: Location. Bath products. View from bedroom

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

Pros: quiet, peaceful,

Cons: long way to the visit any sightseeing

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

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Best view , super nice staff and good facility

Cons: None

Pros: Nothing positive to say

Cons: The hotel smells cigarettes in the corridor and non smoking rooms have a horrible and unsustainable smell. We asked to change. The next one was better in terms of odor but we we had to compromise on view. Staff knows zero English which makes things very difficult. Only a small swimming pool that is extremely noisy with loads of kids screaming. This is a children play, no one actually sunbathes. There is no beach!! So basically no way to escape or relax. On the website looks like there is a beach but there is not. It is the sea with some structure next to it. You can t swim there or sunbathe. Anything you do in the hotel is expensive. Food, drinks. Etc Not perfect in terms of location. Not in centre and taxis are expensive. Not a good spot for diving either. I recommend using eurodivers for diving. Super professional, but they are more north west. On last day we went to the inter continental hotel for the day, it was so good!! Many swimming pools, beach, staff welcoming and speak well English, nice common areas. The dream, it is slightly more expensive but would hve pid the difference if I had known.

Pros: near the beach

Pros: The hotel was wonderful - starting from the check-in. Was greeted at the front entrance and someone took my luggage. I was asked to sit down until it was my turn to be checked in. Upon check-in, the reception explained all the hotel amenities, restaurants and shuttle service. After check-in, she took me and my luggage to my room. The size of the room (i was in a superior twin ocean view room) was big even by North American standards. One of the reviews i had read said this room was very small, even by Tokyo standards. In this room, there was enough space to keep my luggage open and available to me at all times. There was also a nice seating area by the balcony to enjoy the view, which was nice. Buffet breakfast was very popular and busy. I went at 6am one morning, and it was already quite full. Western and Japanese breakfast available. Good variety and the dishes change daily. There's nothing around the hotel, so if you want to venture off the hotel property, you'll need to take the shuttle into town, which runs every hour or so. I attempted to go for a walk around peak sun (1pm) on the boardwalk, and there was no one around (b/c it was just so hot!!).

Pros: The staff was extremely friendly and helped us with a lot of things!

Cons: None.

Pros: Very relaxing seaside resort, good facilities, the public bath is relaxing. Breakfast is good too!

Cons: The swimming pool is a bit small

Pros: The view of the hotel is nice. The structures look slightly old though. The buffet breakfast is good.

Cons: The food at restaurant 舟藏 is overpriced! Its quality is totally incompatible.

Pros: Friendly staff and the location

Cons: Nothing really!

Pros: Right on the beach, pool and spa facilities. Meat restaurant is excellent; great food and ambience.

Cons: Service was nothing special; entirely oriented around Japanese guests. No wifi in public areas. Breakfast finished very early, about 9.00am, which is early for a resort and when you are on holiday. Main restaurant is nothing special. Very expensive and so poor value for money.

Pros: The breakfast is really amazing! As a non-japanese, there were lots of selection and i was able to try local food. They change their breakfast menu every now and then which is good. They have 4 restaurants to choose from. The room is very nice especially the bathroom. There is japanese concert every night, so its a real Japanese experience. There is also complimentary shuttle from and back to airport.

Cons: The bed and pillows are so hard.

Pros: Pool. Breakfast. Staff. Cleanliness. Location. View. Small, charming boutique style hotel, as compared to massive, huge, boring and expensive, 5-star hotels.

Cons: Restaurant food way over priced.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The prices here were very high for the room and hotel amenities that were available - that said, the pool and outdoor space was lovely, especially for sunset views.

Cons: This property was very expensive for the basic nature of the room and amenities.

Pros: Nice staff, good Onsen, good view from our room, beautiful pool

Cons: Asked for 90 US$ to keep room for 2 hours longer, worst coffee in Japan, no bar, terrace run down (splinters everywhere), noisy AC and smell from restaurant in our room.

Pros: Location was good

Cons: Their response to our booking error was very tardy as a result we had to pay 3 times more money at the last minute. They were very stingy and inflexible with a little late checkout, water in the room. When we came to our room the evening GE gore our departure the cleaning of the room was cursory giving us an indication that we are on our way out.

Pros: Female staff at the front desk and facility like laundry and outside bath.

Cons: The blinds in the room were covered in dust and floor was dusty too. The full payment up front upon the arrival is lame when they have your credit card detail and paid 4 start hotel price. Also the male staff showed everyone’s bill to everyone. We all booked different way, had different rate. There was no discreet and made everyone uncomfortable. It is not professional way to sort the bills.

Pros: Rooms are spacious. Breakfast is good, very tasty and good variety.

Cons: There are not too many restaurants nearby, so if the hotel restaurants can offer hot food/snack menu in the hours between lunch & dinner would be great. Swimming pool is a bit shallow and hope can improve on it.

Pros: This hotel is well located on the coast, about a 1000yen taxi ride from the ferry terminal. But there is a concrete wall separating the hotel from the sea, so , although there is access via steps, the beach is virtually non-existent. Staff are very gracious and helpful.

Cons: Room was small, but comfortable. The pool is very shallow. Sea adjoining is quite dirty, perhaps due to a nearby sewerage plant

Pros: Around 30-min from airport and 5-min to city centre, which was very good location. Hotel is clean and big onsen-style bath was nice to relax after enjoying Ishigaki nature.....

Cons: Staffs were friendly but seemingly not received enough training as their instruction was not accurate. We had to pay extra for optional tour, which was disappointing as hotel facities were nice.

Pros: Breakfast was great and the staff were extremely accommodating. They went above and beyond what one would expect.

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

Pros: Very nice location at the beach and close to a main road which is not too busy - therefore still quiet at night. Rooms are relatively large. The personnel is very friendly and helpful. English communication is possible.

Cons: All rooms are in ground floor with patio very close to the tropical surrounding - even with closed insect net, spiders are potential visitors in the rooms.

Pros: I like the breakfast which is very delicious.

Cons: The room has no see view.

Pros: The “villa”/room was quiet big with both 2x chair and 1 table + an outside ranch. Very nicely and helpful staff who prepares japenese style breakfast in the morning :)) and are willing to help and guide you. Have a Beach 2min walk, but not a useful Beach as the other ones on the Island.

Cons: This is more like a “motel” instead a hotel + it’s placed on the northeast coast of Ishigaki without any restaurants and cafees nearby. Please rent a car. There is a lot bugs, which is fine, but also lizzard crawling on the walls in the room, so if you dont like lizzard; STAY AWAY!

Pros: Delicious breakfast and such friendly staff. Helped us so much with traveling around the area, as we didnt hire a car and we didnt realise how isolated this property was.

Cons: Last year I do have a good memories in this villa, but this summer when I back here again, the room is full of strongly pee and poo smell,and the owner did not check and change my room and make us felt sick........ Also ,the breakfast tasted is not good in this year...

Pros: All the staff in Nata were really nice, Kendor San and Uncle were awesome and helpful, I felt hospitality during my stay.

Pros: Friendly, polite and helpful staff, they'll do their very best to may your stay pleasant. The receptionist helped me modify my booking and I'm still thankful for that. Excellent shower, one the best we used. The breakfast: tasty and perfectly cooked! Parking spot right in front of the room.

Cons: This is actually a motel, not a place for a vacation. Ideally located at a junction right next to the main road this is rather a convenient stay for busy people or people not willing to go for the big leisure place or the beach guest house, not really for relaxing and enjoying the scenery. The beds and sheets were clean but all surfaces were covered with dust. Toilet and shower were clean. Tiny ants around the window but those did not come any closer inside the room while a small lizard on the other hand woke us in the middle of the night, enjoying a stroll through the room (tropical climate... we saw a lizard at a very nice place too). View upon a yard looking rather abandoned.

Pros: The fact that it was well out of the port and city area and quite remote appealed to us . Very quiet area and friendly staff/ owners. A great place to unwind and reset after busy Tokyo! You will need a car to to bring some additional snacks and food as there is not much around the accomodation. We loved Gary the cat.

Cons: If you don’t like creepy crawlies don’t stay here. There are quite a few around particularly at night - so don’t leave your washing/ beach towels out at night otherwise they may end up in your room like what happened to us . Staff were helpful trying to catch / remove said creatures so all good!

Pros: Very nice and friendly people! Food was delicious. Great place to enjoy nature and relax.

Pros: Breakfast very good !

Pros: Nice decor, nice rooms and It’s location, the beach is nice right on your doorstop and the location of the beach bar is great a very nice place to sit and have a drink overlooking the ocean.

Cons: It was very noisy with lots of children there is no area to swim in the pool for adults and it’s so expensive. The beach was completely dismantled when we arrived as they were preparing for a typhoon which was a shame we didn’t get to see that area properly and swim in the sea. You had to book your breakfast slot which is too rigid for me and even then had to wait in a queue. View from balcony wasn’t great for the money you spend. It’s a lovely hotel but not sure it’s worth the money. Ishigaki hotels on the whole are very dated we stayed in quite a few. The best view by far is the seaside hotel near Kariba bay but that is in dire need of an update. That side of the island has much nicer beaches and better for swimming. Ishigaki is very depressing in a typhoon!!

Pros: My daughters loved the access to the pool, splash pad and beach. The staff was very attentive. The room was spacious compared to other Japanese hotel rooms. As an American who is accustomed to pillowtop mattresses, we weren't comfortable with the mattresses provided but it doesn't take away from our experience at all. We utilized the travel personnel on site and they were so convenient to set things up and cancel on our behalf. We had a fantastic time and would happily return to Fusaki.

Cons: 1. Mattress quality, but that's always the case with Japanese style bedding. 2. Price of food on site was expensive but that's to be expected at resorts.

Pros: The kids waterpark

Cons: Room wasn't very clean - bottles left out in front garden, facility far too busy. Most restaurants full. Breakfast served in what looked like a gym hall.

Cons: Carpark too far away The room is too small given the price is not cheap

Pros: clean and high value rooms. pool was open until 8pm. the childreen could enjoy swiming by night. breakfast as buffet was a good quality with mix of japanees and western content.

Cons: nothing to claim

Pros: Nice Pool area.

Cons: Outdoor pool closes at 1. November!

Cons: Not a dislike but rather a suggestion. Closing the pools/water park/beach due cold season might be a little excessive considering the climate in Ishigaki... For European or North American guests Ishigaki winter temperatures easily surpass summer back home.

Pros: Just along the Beach We could se amazing coluored fish. And just taking a very short boat Tour even more. Ok rooms

Cons: Swimming pools Nice but made to kids friendly all of Them. Would be Nice with one pool for swimming. Staff are not english talking in reception.

Pros: The beach

Pros: Superb location on the western shore of the island, perfect for sunsets, with an ideal shingle beach and beautiful turquoise waters. The pool area is beautifully laid out and is spacious, ideal for both couples and families.

Cons: The resort restaurants and bars are in places slightly pricey for what they are. Also, the staff are required to enforce some seemingly unnecessary rules - canoeing restricted to a very limited area of the beach for no obvious reason (and irrespective of ability) no t-shirts in the pool (not good for westerners looking to protect against the sun!). Relaxing these rules would make the experience more enjoyable. Also, the staff generally speak limited English - which makes it hard for a non-Japanese speaker to understand these rules (or indeed the offerings of the resort generally) - even more written English information would help.

Pros: Maybe the most beautiful cove on the whole island??? The view from the hotel room was AMAZING! Everyone in the staff were very kind as well. It was paradise! Try the snorkeling experience :)

Cons: A wider selection of wines would be nice.

Pros: Very pretty beachfront. Water sports club right on the beach. Swimming pool. Proximity to the manta diving sites. Food is quite good as well

Cons: Swimming pool closes at 6pm (too early).

Pros: Room is spacious and nice sea view balcony

Pros: Beautiful location approximately 20min drive from the main town Hotel located on a lovely beach with unspoiled views that is great for swimming and water sports Good & lunch breakfast selection, we haven't tried the dinner Hotel has a charm of old resorts from 1970s or so - don't expect the latest design but hotel the rooms in the main wing are refurbished and very comfy and overall hotel has nice facilities Very relaxing environment Staff speak limited English but they are very helpful We had an issue with the first room and they used ipad and a interpreter to help translate from English to Japanese and then promptly solved the issue Book superior or deluxe rooms, the standard one are smoking ones.

Cons: Originally we booked a standard room in the old wind. In the description it was not written that it's smoking rooms. Since we're not smokers we were very bothered with the strong smell of cigarette. But staff help us to change the room. The location is a bit remote with not many restaurants around. But we had a car so it was not a problem for us

Pros: Nice big rooms, nice onsen bath and pool

Cons: The building is a bit old and the restaurants were very expensive. The beach was okay but not sandy beach

Pros: Excellent facility with beautiful beach and fantatic chalet. I’d recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet vacation by the beach

Cons: It’s fairly far away from the town. Best to have a car to drive around

Pros: We had a very good experience. Location is perfect - close to Kabira bay. Great breakfast with a lot o choose. Furthermore the staff is extremely helpful! we first stayed at a villa, but my girlfriend couldn’t sleep anymore after we found a spider in our room (which the staff removed; and obviously some bugs are inevitable at such a location), so we could move to a deluxe room. And actually we liked this room even better due to the sea view.

Cons: Villa’s are slightly outdated (deluxe rooms are not) and facilities at the beach could be better by e.g. opening a bar or offering cushions for the beach beds. You will need a car to get around the island.

Pros: Great great hotel, simple humble style but still gorgeous and comfy, with huge rooms and great view on the beautiful sea of Ishigaki. The morning buffet is amazing, the access to the beach is also incredible (2min walking distance).

Cons: There's not a lot of establishments around the area, leaving you to eat the dinner at the hotel which doesn't offer lots of no meat options (BBQ style mainly, or expensive all you can eat buffet). Aside from that, the proposed menu for the evening isn't great.

Pros: Beautiful view from our bedroom. We enjoyed the buffet for breakfast and supper. It was very useful to go to a snorkeling and manta ray expedition directly from a boat at the hotel.

Cons: It is better to wear water shoes at the beach to go in the sea. For nicer sand, you walk a short distance on the beach and you go to Sukuji beach just aside.

Pros: breakfast, intensive staff, comfort bedding, good view

Cons: far away from city

Pros: I booked the Churayado Cocochan because I participated the Ishigaki Marathon. From the hotel, it is able to access the city center and seaport by foot (~10 mins) where you can find varies kinds of restaurants and convenient stores. The hotel provides basic needs for the guests. I like it it's quite environmentally friendly and doesn't provide towels and charge for electricity use for A/C and washing machine. (I think the other guests in the reviews didn't understand their purpose to do so..) The hosts are also very nice enough and didn't charge me more even if I checked out late since I had to do the check-out after the marathon.

Cons: Maybe it's better to write explicitly in the introduction on booking.com that 1. bring own towels, 2. have an extra charge for the A/C and washing machine.

Pros: big shared kitchen for the guests. hole place very clean.

Pros: apartment was available as a last minute decision, it has a lot of space - kitchen and three small rooms, quiet neighborhood, free parking, 10-minute walk to restaurants in the town center

Cons: All rooms are small, with college-type beds, with unpleasant bed sheets, you need to pay extra for air-conditioning, and for the towels, it's perfect for a family with children or for a group of 6 (young) people traveling on a budget but it was a bit too sparse for us

Pros: The owners are very friendly and helpful. Their standard poodle is wonderful.

Pros: the owner is helpful

Pros: The bed is comfortable

Cons: The air conditioner can only be used when 100yens is inserted for three hours. Its quiet inconvenient when using it.

Pros: Staff is very nice and helpful. Location is good, just in front of Aeon mall and about 15mins away to airport.

Cons: Air conditioner is not working properly. Very smelly inside the room.

Pros: The staff was very supportive. I lost my phone and they called the restaurant and I got it back :) They also helped me printing.

Cons: Everyday we got new towels, that is nice but more than needed.

Pros: They changed the towels and toothbrush everyday.

Cons: I have requested 2 extra pillows to be prepare in advance but was not entertain, I need to email and ask again. It would be highly appreciate if they can check the special request ahead of time so they can exceed the guests expectation. I also mentioned that we are celebrating my husband birthday but I guess they don't care at all.

Pros: Very polite and helpful staff. They can help to make reservations. It is important to make reservations in Ishigaki for restaurants and workshops, and most of them need to be made by call and in Japanese, which is difficult for us. Excellent location with supermarkets, drugstore, Daiso and Edion nearby.

Cons: The washroom and especially the bathing tub is really small, maybe ok for ladies and kids, but small for big and strong men.

Pros: Kitchenware has to be paid for, but the cost is cheap, the staff is friendly, and the room is clean.

Pros: Spacious room. Location though not in the city centre, can easily be connected by bus. Malls, shops in the vicinity. Free car parks.

Cons: As I said, the room is spacious but the toilet is disproportionately small ! It was soooo crammed being inside. Further the shape of the toilet seat doesn't fit the wc pan - And it's pretty awful ! The purported free kitchen is, well, you have to hire the cooking wares at a charge of Yen 500 per day and Yen 100 in the ensuing days. Most disheartened is the erratic wifi connectivity in the room. It's perfect around the reception area but it is 90% of time is disconnected in room. Had talked to the reception of the problem but they just shrugged it all off ! The ceiling light is soooo dim. The lumen produced is in par with an AA battery light. Had asked for help from the reception but again received no help at all. No bedside cupboard provided means you have to put stuffs on the floor next to the beds ! All internal wall is of fair-faced concrete - looks crude and dull !

Pros: Convenient location with free parking. Next to 24hr Aeon MaxValu shop and a big supermarket. Good value for money to a family of 4 persons!

Cons: Found a small dead cockroach on the floor.

Cons: The toliet is a bit small

Pros: The staff went above and beyond, especially with the language barrier. Free bicycles to ride for the day Bus stop right in front of the place Self contained, kettle, stove even! Supermarket so close by.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: In the main road between airport and Ishigaki port. Opposite to shopping mall with Aeon and other supermarkets in walking distance. There is a bus stop outside of hotel. Free parking. Spacious room for 3.

Cons: Small bathroom.
