Strandhotell i Taketomi

"My friend and I stayed here for 13 nights from mid to late October and loved it. Fresh breakfast buffet served every day 06:30-10:00. Juices are always fresh and tasty - mango juice, shikuwasa juice, pineapple juice, Marivu Okinawan special drink (my favorite). Scrambled eggs are always ready (also my favorite). Everything is refilled as soon as possible. There's a nice view of the ocean and the trees from the restaurant. The long is cozy and welcoming. The staff are always helpful, polite and quick to help. Housekeeping is done regularly and towels are changed every day. Rental minibikes are available for 1100 yen for the entire day. The hotel gives many free 500-1000 yen coupons that can be used for it. Only downside of the hotel area is that there’s no sandy beach right by the hotel even though it's called a "Beach Hotel". You’ll need to walk a quite a bit farther to the next hotel by the Fusaki Beach to access it. But honestly the sunset outside from the pool area is insane and totally worth it if you happen to catch it on a clear non-cloudy day. The streets of Ishigaki can get quite dark after sunset. The streetlights aren’t very bright and there’s a stretch between the hotel and the city that’s pitch black at night. I’d suggest bringing a flashlight if you plan to walk in the evenings."

"Fantastisk hotell med alla bekvämligheter och nöjen. Snorklade, tog massage, åt fantastisk frukost, badade ute & inne, var på spaet, allt var toppen. Rekommenderas varmt!"
