Ishigaki Seaside Hotel

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 was a little dated but it didnt matter , the rooms were very nice with great views. It was right on the beach and very quiet . The food was very nice , mostly Asian . We had the buffet dinner twice and it was quite good value for money. We needed to move rooms for our final night but we went straight into our new room without having to wait which was great. We went on a snorkel tour, which was so good we wanted to do it again! The Hotel had a coin laudry which was a useful addition.

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.

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.

The seaview was amazing, as well as the dinner buffet. Highly recommend both, getting a room with seaview and the dinner included in the reservation. Great selection of foods, including fresh fish and desserts. You can rent towels as well if you plan to travel around the island.
