Ishigaki Hostels

A few years ago, I stayed at the ANA Continental Club Building, and it was a dream stay in every respect. This time, I was traveling alone, so I saved a little and stayed in the Ocean Wing. Since the price is different, it's inevitable that the rooms are slightly different, but is it really okay for the staff skills to be so different? It's the same ANA Continental Hotel, right? The staff at check-in was the worst. Anyway, they always spoke half-heartedly and were not very clear. They didn't repeat what I said. As a result, they didn't even make the reservation I asked them to make. I would like to think that the other staff have more skills, but I was shocked because I was excited and had high hopes. I also work in the service industry. Let's put ourselves in each other's shoes and hone our skills even more.

An extraordinary experience on a tropical island. I recommend this hotel for traveling with child. I stayed here for a couple of nights in August with my first grader. It takes 30 minutes from the airport by hotel bus. We stayed on the 3rd floor of the South Wing. The entire building is on the lower floors, so you feel as if you are living in a tropical village, full of extraordinary atmosphere. I got the impression that there were many guests with children. 　The rooms are spacious and new. The view of the ocean outside the wiindow is very nice. The bathrooms are clean. There are two washing machines on each floor, and laundry hangers are always available in the room, which is also very convenient. Amenities are simple but well stocked. The children's toothpaste was too bitter for my child. 　The pool is well stocked, including a pool for kids, and the kids seem to be having a lot of fun. There are several lifeguards on duty, which gives a sense of security. The beach in front of the hotel is amazing. It is deep enough for adults to almost reach their feet, but the water is clear and the small corals? It is clear, and the small corals are teeming with fish, so snorkeling is a lot of fun. Naturally, there is a lifeguard on duty, so it is safe. However, there are many coral fragments on the bottom and in the surf, so it is better to rent or bring marine shoes. After the pool and ocean, there is a large public bath. It is not that crowded. You can wash your body well in the solty. Breakfast is a buffet breakfast at Ryukyu Shintenchi on the first day and at ISHIGAKI BOLD KITCHEN on the second day. It is usually delicious, and the kids are satisfied with the fruits and desserts. For dinner, we reserved an izakaya in town for the first day and took a cab (about 1400 yen), but it was hard to get a reservation at an izakaya in Ishigaki Island during the high season after Corona. Cabs were also crowded, and it was hard to catch a cab, probably because it was far from the town. I was worried if I could really go back home, but somehow it turned out to be OK. We had a buffet dinner at ISHIGAKI BOLD KITCHEN in the hotel on the second day, and it was delicious. There was also an all-you-can-drink menu. Even if you stay for consecutive nights, you may not get bored with only the restaurants in the hotel. The South Wing is a distance away, so a cart is convenient to get you from your room to the front desk and restaurants. You may have to wait about 10 minutes for the cart to come, so it is better to allow plenty of time for the cart ride. The hotel staff is also very responsive. I am ashamed to say that I was careless and left without my card key and was unable to get into my room, but I called the front desk and they brought it right back to me. I called the front desk and they brought it to me right away. They responded with a smile even though it was a busy time of day. I really appreciated it. There are plenty of activities such as snorkel tours, starlight

I was staying at this hotel on a solo trip. It's a wonderful location where you can see the ocean over the stairs leading down when you enter the building. In the lobby, we were given a welcome drink and coffee in the morning. All the facilities were clean, including the large public bath. My room was a twin, but it would be even better if they prepared a room for solo travelers. The safe seemed old, and even though I knew how to use it properly, it kept not opening. The room was large, so the layout of the closet, tea maker, and refrigerator meant that you couldn't use it without changing your slippers, which I found inconvenient. There are few places I would consider going back to, but I think this is a valuable hotel with good cost performance that makes me want to go back. There were many friendly staff members who were very helpful.

We arrived by car too late to get a car park at the hotel so we had to park about 100ms away down a side street. The room was fine. It had a good view and was very clean The breakfast was delicious and served in a nice room with a garden view. It was busy but the staff were excellent and the tables were turned over promptly. We loved the” save the planet” initiative and in fact were able to buy two tiny pieces of pottery with our coupons just for not having everything washed and changed. The pottery was from the excellent gift shop in the lobby which was actually the best I saw on my trip to Japan. There was also a small grocery shop in the lobby. It was a shortish walk to the ferry and main drag. There were eating options available across the road. We would recommend the dumpling place. They had take away coffee and doughnuts if you wished for breakfast. We would stay here again.

The weather was not the best when we pulled up in our car but we saw that this hotel would be excellent for a longer stay in the warmer weather. It would be perfect for families. We could imagine how many fantastic memories could be made here. Our room was very spacious and had a beautiful sea view. It had a large bathroom with separate bath and toilet. We played ground golf which we had not heard of before. It was so much fun even for real golfers! We enjoyed the gift shop and purchased the obligatory SPAM bag and some biscuits. The evening buffet dinner was such a surprise . We had a beautiful window table which helped as it was fairly busy. The food was outstanding. The choice and quality and presentation was totally unexpected. We are still talking about it and will do so for a long time. Breakfast was equally as good. Sadly we only had one night here. I am not sure how good the more expensive hotels on the island are but we felt this one was a winner for us.
