Wonderful, spacious room, friendly staff, nice pool with view. The grounds are beautiful and well-manicured. We really enjoyed our stay as a family.

The breakfast. It was not worth the cost. We are all familiar with and enjoy Japanese/Asian food, however we did not find the items of high quality, nor were they very tasty. I also got a bit of a stomach discomfort after the breakfast, thus, we cancelled the following breakfast days. Also, the breakfast staff shut down at least 15 minutes earlier than the stated closing time. I saw several guests come in looking for food that was already being packed up-- And there are not many other options for food close by.

Beach Hotel Sunshine was what we expected--on the sea, nice pool, good communal baths, and large comfortable rooms. Some complained that there was no direct access to the beach--which isn't exactly true. There is a seawall, which given the nature of storms and such that part of the world, is a practical thing. However, there are steps down to the water and a small sandy beach. The grounds are nice and there is a deck to have dinner and watch the very nice sunset. Parking is easy (it is very good to have a rental car in Ishigaki--is quite spread out to get to various sites). The breakfast buffet is very good with lots of local specialties.

There wasn't anything that I didn't like

The hotel had a very relaxed vibe, the facilities were good with the outdoor pool and seating area, as well as use of inflatables, frisbies etc. The onsen was also very nice with a great sea view and was never very busy. Breakfast buffet was great and offered a very good variety. there was a shop to buy drinks and snacks. The only downside was the bar/resestaurant was very restricted in what it served, it would have been great to have a bar that was more useable by the pool. But apart from that the stay was very enjoyable and the staff very friendly.

There were only 6 buses a day into town which was over an hour walk away. The local restaurants seem to close at 6pm leaving the hotel the only option with an expensive large set menu at night. We walked into town and eventually found some options as we wanted a small meal. We went to the hotel bar on our return at 9.30 to find it was closed. A shame as the hotel had given us vouchers for use there. Room lovely and spacious with great view.

Our room was fabulous. The bath in the window overlooking the sea and sunset was amazing. The room was massive with his and her sinks and a fantastic view. The pool was great too with floats and the bar next to it. Beautifully kept gardens with flowers. It was right on the sea front which was ideal but very windy. Staff were so helpful and friendly and tried really hard to help translate things, book trips and taxis for us. We were able to higher bikes from reception and explore the town and markets about 15 mins cycle away.

The restaurant/cafe only had ice cream and no other food in the day available but maybe because oug of season. You had to reserve for dinner too so needed to be organised and know what you were doing ahead. Nothing else wrong as it was a lovely place to stay. Thanks so much.

Polite and professional staff, clean room, pool with some balloons, big bath with beautiful scenery, enough space for parking. I highly recommend to take a bath during sunset time. Overall, it’s value for money!

Perhaps it’s difficult to do for this kind of small hotel but since it’s located in the resort area (not in the city centre), it should better to have more options for dinner and lunch. Just only course menu is available for dinner. They sell some snacks and drinks at their shop but if they could serve some foods, even some simple snacks like fried potatoes, pizza, hotdog, edamame, onigiri and some drinks at the restaurant next to the pool, we could enjoy the time in the hotel even when the weather was not good. Driving 5-10 minutes to eat something outside all the time was not so good experience. We stayed in the Mountain View room. Since it’s located next to the main road, we heard the car sounds all the time.

- Outstanding pool and onsen - Amazing breakfast with a mix of local and western selections; I looked forward to every day. - Great staff with either fluent English or making a big effort to have the conversation translated - Convenient, free car parking - Ideal location (if you have a car) in that it’s in a quiet area but still easy access to restaurants, points of interest, etc

The breakfast was great, with lots of local specialties. We loved the pool, there are free floats and armbands to use. The hotel itself is very clean and the staff are lovely. It's my second time to stay there and I'd like to stay again.

Nothing I didn't like, everything was great. The only thing is it's a bit far from the city centre so you have to get a taxi (around 1,300 yen) but it also means it's very quiet.

Breakfast is superb. And the whole hotel has a wonderful sea view and a beautiful pool. The staffs there are very friendly and would like to tell you about good places to go. The sofa in the room is also very comfortable and feeling so good just sitting there and watching the sea.

Dinner is just so-so and it will cost some money to go to the roof to watch the stars. Note that you can see starts from the terrasse but lights from the hotel will have some impacts.

Stunning views. Friendly, helpful and professional staff

Toilet in the room was a bit small. Tea and coffee replenishment in the room could have been better. Had to ask at reception for extra tea/coffee bag’s etc
