Hotel berhampiran Taman Banna, Ishigaki

Mesmerizing hotel! As soon as we stepped inside, we immediately felt so relaxed. Everything in this hotel contributes to giving it a very peaceful and quiet atmosphere, from the super friendly and accommodating staff to the slow-paced breakfast and the sea view from the bedroom. This is a new hotel and the equipment is very modern and elegant (bathroom, toilet, walls) and the bedding is extremely comfortable, including super pajamas! The breakfast is served at 7:30am or 8:30am with Japanese and Western options available. They also offer dinner options with a few hours' notice. There is a bus stop nearby but it's definitely better to have a car as it seemed difficult to walk around and find beaches/restaurants, though that also makes the place very quiet and relaxing. Excellent value for money, we browsed a lot of options and this might be the best one if you do not want to go for a resort-style hotel.

Very clean and well organised. The guest house is kept spotless and has all that you may need. From the rooms which are very well organised and each person has his unique space kind of like a small room to himself, to the temperature of the aircon, which too often is kept very low, whereas here it is kept cool but not freezing. The service is very good, there is always someone in reception from 7AM to 11PM and they are always ready to help. Toilets are super clean and well kept, and you are given 2 towels daily for you to use. Also, if you stay more than 5 nights, you get a new set of bedsheets to use (you have to change them on your own). The kitchen is very well equipped and if you want to cook, they have all the necessary tools. Also, the common room is very well displayed, it is cosy and a nice space to socialize. An additional room to hang to dry wet clothes is outside of the back entry and can be very handy after a day at the seaside. Overall, one of the best guesthouses I have been in during my trip in Japan.

旅館位於離島碼頭步行10分鐘左右的距離，附近也有一間APA 酒店。樓下沒有便利店，略為不便（最近的在730 court 那邊），但旅館門口就有2台自動售賣機。旅館非常整潔乾淨，房屋也很舒適，但始終是有點細，有行李箱可能會比較難開。房間內有電視、冷氣、掛衣架。店主能說很基本的英語，所以溝通也基本ok。設備方面，旅館只有2間淋浴間，另外如果沒有自備毛巾，需收100日元來租用。旅館有公用廚房、也有好幾台洗衣乾衣機。旅館門口有幾個停車位，應該要預先跟店主預約才可以停。總體而言是值得推薦的 budget 住宿地方。

Location is good. Just at 10 mins drive to main shopping streets and pier. There is a souvenir shop and convenient store inside the resort too. I stayed at the Coral Wing. Although it’s the older tower, it’s closer to the beach and overall staying experience isstill good. Amenities just looked a bit old but still in good condition. Room was clean as well. Definitely a good resort to stay in.

The staffs are generally nice, with smile. But some of them can not understand simple English. For one example, I ask where the “Animal Square” is, the staff pointed me to the “Angel Pier”.

福ちゃん、ニコルさんと２匹の猫、藻玉と煮豆に優しく迎えられ、あっという間に滞在日数が過ぎてしまいました。大満足で、皆さんへおすすめのお宿です。 内外装ともとっても素敵です。リゾートに来た〜と感じます。レンタカー用に駐車場を使わせてもらいました。 居室内は清潔・快適です。ベッド・布団はとってもふんわり良く眠れました。 エリアはレンタカーがあればとても便利な立地です。フサキビーチのすぐ近くあり、徒歩でビーチまで行けます(フサキビーチリゾートのメインの建屋の方を通り、特に手続き等不要です)。 朝食を頂きました。食材・調味料の一つひとつにこだわったお料理で、心も身体も癒されます。 私たちは未体験ですが、ヒーリングトリートメントやYOGAを受ける事ができます。 また是非訪れたいお宿です。

Very new hotel with smooth check in and check out experience. Very friendly staff, and especially great GM. Breakfast has a lot of variety and flexible timing. Location is a short drive into town center, requires driving but hotel has free parking. Rooms are really big with a nice balcony. Only downside is no real access to the beach and the pool needs some cleaning with the leaves, but otherwise a fantastic choice. I will return to this hotel.

The experience was quite disappointing. The hotel receptionists were not helpful and friendly when we ask questions face to face and through phone call. The toilet is quite small. Surprisingly there is no room cleaning service if you stay less than 3 nights, not even clearing your trash bins. During our stay, we heard repeated announcements late in the night and they were all in Japanese. Only when we translated them by our phone we realised it was about the fire alarm. A lot of other hotel residents gathered in the lobby waiting for further instructions. We saw a staff sitting in the office but until the end of the day no one give any information nor explain anything. We ended up going back to our room after our own assessment.

It's a really nice place and comes fully equipped, including a washer with detergent and a spacious balcony for air drying clothes. The toiletries and amenities are also great, and even the toilet paper is good quality, not thin or flimsy. You can occasionally hear sounds from the corridor, but they are brief and not very disruptive. There is no street noise, very quiet. However, if you book a second floor room, you will need to carry your luggage up the stairs. Free parking is available. The location is a short walk to the town area and public market, and about a seven minute walk to the bus stop. Before check in, you need to call the property to get the door code, as there are usually no staff on site, you could do it via app so it is fre. This may be inconvenient for some guests. I recommend calling in advance, as they do not always pick up immediately.
