We had an AMAZING stay at Iki Retreat. Everything was seamless - the hotel driver picked us from the lunch place directly (we went for lunch first when we arrived at Ashibe port - you can arrange everything through email before arrival), and throughout our stay, Katano helped us with everything as he was able to speak some English. Staff are impeccable and attentive, room with a magnificent view, private onsen on our private terrace, everything you need for a relaxing and rejuvenating retreat was provided - drinks in the room, use of private bath and gym (gymwear also provided if needed) were provided with no extra charge. We opted to have breakfast and dinner included and the food was just out of this world. Delicious delicacies - iki beef, squid, teppanyaki, sashimi, sushi, condiments etc.....the chef will prepare everything in front of you. You do have to pay for the alcohol with dinner... Our jetfoil got cancelled and Katano and the staff helped to find alternatives for us as well. I could go on and on with only everything positive to say....

Enjoyed spectacular sea views from a private onsen bath in our own room. The kaiseki dinner featured Iki island delicacies and the flavors were divine! Breakfast was also a culinary treat . The staff were extremely attentive, courteous and very helpful.

The carpet in the bedroom is a hard, tight, natural weave with little knots that we couldn’t walk on with bare feet. Would be better to have a softer covering or throw mats on top of this carpet so that guests can be more comfortable moving around without having to wear the clog style slippers.

Beautiful, serene location. It is out of the way but worth getting to for the once-in-a-lifetime experience. Exquisite meals, beautiful views, luxurious onsen & exceptional, friendly service.

We had an amazing experience and we would go back! The food was incredible.

The Bar was not a bar as described. It took us a long time to get drink at the bar area to see the sunset.

the view and room size with the private onsen the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. especially ayako and a gentlemen forgot his name those two were amazing and made the stay wonderful. also the dinner that was served was exceptional.

the public bath at night was a bit scary. there were spiders hanging off the roof. at first hard to tell because it was dark.

Absolutely exceptional in all respects. Luxurious and sophisticated; this is a treat worth saving up for! Terrific staff, superb dining, extremely relaxing…

would have liked a map of sites and dining options around the island to have been provided at check-in. the same applies to information on bicycle hire from the adjacent hotel….

A Zen retreat with excellent authentic Japanese food and very relaxing interior design and views.
