Ishigaki Seaside Hotel

Second time here. Both in winter. Great views great beach and lots of activities. Big bath was also nice especially after diving in the winter. The rooms are spacious and can easily accommodate three adults (2 beds and a sofa/bed. Location is out of the way so best if you have car but the bus does stop there from airport. In winter most restaurants in the area are closed so you are forced to eat hotel buffet which can get old. Hit nonetheless a great get away.

Great generous room, no 13 in the village bungalows. Views of tropical foliage in every direction. Great Deck with a bath. Lovely time.

The staff helped us so much - Nori was amazing! She was so helpful and professional.

Staff were very helpful, that was the best thing. Hotel built in the 60’s, no updates to the decor, it’s from a different era. Food hall lacks charm, food is very average. Do not have dinner there, it is wildly overpriced. Go to the local restaurants for a good meal.

Thank you for the nice stay which we really enjoyed. To improve your service you should think of offering snorkeling equipment and beach towels to your guests free of charge. This is basically standard in beach hotels. Thank you and maybe we see again next year!

Generally, we had a good experience. But a few things made it a bit sour. We booked the villa in Kabira Village. At first seemed really nice, but later turned out to be really bad. It's located inside very dense vegatation and so you are in a mist of insects, which sometime enter the room itself. Couldn't enjoy a second outside. The so called "tub" was unusable because of fire ants in the porch. In addition, it is very remote from the hotel itself and so anything we wanted required walking through this unpleasant experience. At night it was even worst as it was very dark as well. We requested a room change, even if it meant downgrading (the villa is among the most expensive tier). At first they wanted me to pay extra, which I refused. After I had to argue a bit, I got a much better room. Although smaller, it was nice enough, clean, connected to the main building and had view to the sea. One additional downside, the new room was next to the sewage treatment facility so our balcony was unusable due to the smell of sewage, which sometimes got into the room. All in all, the experience was good as the staff was nice, good beach access, the good was surprisingly good in the buffet, and the area is nice (although options are limited and sometimes unreliable). I think this hotel has a long way to go. And in any case, wouldn't recommend booking any of the villas even though it seems cool.

Very nice hotel with a lovely location which is hard to beat. The bay is sheltered so even on windy days the bay is relatively calm. It is an older hotel which also shows wear, but this did not take away from our stay. The staff were very helpful but English aabilotoes vary amongst staff so we did have a few misunderstandings. The dining room had a beautiful overlook of the bay but was a bit cafeteria like. Breakfast and dinner were OK, but lunch really great. The beach hut offers various rentals and snorkelling trips. We got to see the manta rays which was exceptional

Perfect quaint little seaside resort. They rent bikes and are only 15 mins away from Kabira Observation point. Staff are super attentive, the buffet dinner was tasty and varied. My hotel room was immaculate. Would say there’s a few bugs about (geckos, huntsman spiders) - but to be expected in a jungle based villa and very worth it for the view. The staff were very helpful in coming over quickly to help with any bug issues. Everything was clean, and the beach sunset view in the evening is amazing.

Lovely simple onsen, beach, and room with great ocean view. Food not so great and have to pay small fee for beach towel. No easy access to food so rental car is a must. Good snorkeling nearby beach

Staff was fantastic and facility is in an ideal location and super clean. Would definitely return!

Amazing location but food is average.

A beautiful place on a gorgeous white sand beach. It’s a bit of a hike to get to the nearest village (kabira) so get your international drivers license and rent a car, or prepare to wait for the bus and take some cabs if you plan to leave.

The hotel occupies a lovely sunset beach, swimmable in both high tide and low tide. Good food, good aircon, comfortable large rooms facing the sea, convenient parking. Diving around is pleasant although no dive centre in the hotel - several dive centres nearby (eurodivers, seajack, viking)

Very quiet and offer great food! Our room with ocean views was fantastic!

Nice location and attentive staff. Property is a bit old and facilities closer to a three star but friendly team onsite makes a visit a good one.

部屋は広々として開放感のある静かな場所にありました。朝は小鳥の鳴き声で目が覚め、部屋からは海が見えとてもプライベート感のある部屋でした。スタッフの方も親切で気持ちよく過ごせました。星空ツアーも参加しましたがとても綺麗な星空の下で丁寧に説明をしていただき勉強になりました。今度は違う季節にもトライしてみようかと思っています。

Very quiet, super helpful staff

Didn’t like: - No free service of beach towels - Food at the restaurant. Quality was poor and price was high - Would have liked a tv with internet, Netflix… - Tattoo prohibition Like: - People always very nice - Activities available were really good - Bus in front of the hotel - Room was very spacious and nice. Same for common spaces

We were able to enjoy sunset in the room and do some stargazing at night!

We can give 5 stars for the location, right on a beautiful beach. The hotel itself is in need of much renovation. The beach chairs were all cracked, the umbrellas in shred. The buffet food was average. The staff was courteous and helpful. The bedrooms were large, but a bit outdated. We found the non motorized activities overpriced. Paddle boards should be free for hotel guests and not close to $30 for 30 min. However the rooms were not too expensive and they are not many hotels right on the beach on Ishigaki.
