4/5
The facilities, equipment, and landscape maintenance were excellent, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing and extraordinary experience.Whether it was a milestone trip for the family or a stay for three generations, I think it was a fun and memorable trip.I also felt that there was some laxity in the services and details that depended on people, such as equipment management and front office work.As someone who expects ``a reassuring, high-quality extraordinary experience,'' I would like to see an improvement in service quality and hospitality.

We stayed at Gaggioni 106 for 3 nights.This accommodation is a faithful reproduction of a village on Taketomi Island, and I think the stone walls alone make this an inn with a lot of spirit.The interior of the room has an innovative layout with a bathtub, and the indirect lighting is just right. Check-in was done while relaxing in the room and eating Japanese sweets.Dinner is very delicious. We highly recommend Shima Terroir for dining. This is the opinion of someone who doesn't usually eat French food, but the taste and texture of each dish was fresh and good. Even if two people drink alcohol, I think it will cost around 50,000 yen.Breakfast is too large. We recommend the sea breeze breakfast. Even as a big eater myself, eating cereal and nine island dishes is tough. In particular, the cereal comes in the amount of 3 bowls of rice. Is it a style that approves of leaving it?The staff also provided very good service.It's especially wonderful that all the staff are able to handle a variety of tasks. Reception, cart, transportation Hiace driving. When you come to us for help when you have a problem, the response seems to be faster than at other inns. However, the explanations were so awkward that I thought they were all new.Even when I forgot something in my room and was about to be late for the bus, the staff did their best to assist me.◆The following points would like to be improved:·laundryIt's in a dark place that makes it difficult to use at night, and I'm concerned about the rust on the shelves and the coin-operated system. (I want my time back to make change.) The dryer filter was clogged, so I cleaned it myself.・About the roomThe plate of Japanese sweets and trash given out at check-in had not been removed even after a day. Maybe it was because I was careful and put it near the entrance.The air conditioner was set to a fixed temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius, and it was a pain to turn it off. The futon in the bedroom was too thick for summer, so maybe that's why the air conditioner was set at such a high temperature?The Sharp air purifier in the bedroom is extremely noisy. Since I own the exact same one, I can assure you that this is not something that should be placed in your bedroom.Mold around the air conditioner outlet in the living room. It's a bit tolerable because the humidity is high, but I think it's enough to notice if you look up.・Shared spaceIt's so small that the distance is such that you're worried about each other's presence. Honestly, I don't feel very relaxed.◆OthersPersonally, I don't mind it, but there are a lot of insects and geckos. I saw about 20 geckos by the pool at night. When I was swimming in the pool, I saw two slugs floating in the pool. I got rid of them, but it might be a good idea to clean out the waterways.There are not many activities compared to the number of rooms, so if you want to do something, you need to make a reservation early.I wrote a lot of negative things, but the location, food, and service were good, so I would like to stay again.

I have stayed at about 50 Hoshino resorts, but this one's staff were very responsive and gave me a VIP feeling.I can only thank you for your efforts in responding to me even though I am selfish!There aren't many buses, so you have to plan in advance, and there aren't many places to see, so I think 2 nights would be enough.I liked the pool that was open 24 hours.Also, the island terroir course meal I reserved for dinner was delicious (*´꒳`*)Thank you for accommodating my likes and dislikes!

Stayed for 2 nights with my 5 year old.We held a wedding here seven years ago, and our children were able to participate in some of the activities, so we came here.The hurdle may have been quite high because I had memories of the wedding.I feel like this is what it's like this time.Unfortunately ①The tree near the entrance to the garden was covered in insects, with caterpillars hanging down and the bottom covered with feces.Unfortunately ②When I returned to my room on the second day of my stay, there was a line of ants. Apparently, if you stay for multiple nights, they only change the amenities and towels, but I don't want to stay in a room with ants even though I'm paying a high accommodation fee.Unfortunately ③Banana ice cream was served from 14:00 to 15:50. I arrived at 15:50 from the shuttle bus from Taketomi Island and called out to them, but it was over. strict on time.The children who were with me were also disappointed.Unfortunately ④Aiyar Beach is full of garbage.It's better not to go. I'm disappointed.Unfortunately ⑤Room service food is expensive. It doesn't match the content.I love Hoshino Resorts and am a heavy user, so this trip was more disappointing than exciting.

It's on the Hoshinoya line, so it's quite expensive, but you can have a wonderful experience.Also, be sure to make reservations for activities early. . Last minute reservations are not allowed as they fill up quickly.Since we are not close to the sea or the city center, we mostly stay at hotels.Herbal tea and small snacks are provided free of charge, so you can forget about work and relax.

There's really nothing here, so it's a good place to stay for one night.The customer service was very good, and the food was delicious. There were a lot of insects, there were a lot of geckos indoors, and I occasionally saw some stupidly large spiders. This accommodation is not suitable for people who are afraid of insects.Reservations for one-night stays can be expensive because they can only be made a month in advance.If you stay for more than two nights, it will be boring unless you sign up for lots of activities.If an activity is canceled due to bad weather or high waves, there will be nothing to do.We had booked night cruising and snorkeling in advance, but it was canceled and we had nothing to do.Once you stay here, you'll probably want to stay for a while.Hoshinoya leaves from Hoshinoya at a pace of about one per hour from 7:30 a.m. until about 5 p.m.After that, you will not be able to ride the bus to and from the airport unless you reserve it in advance.In the morning, there is only a bus to the beach from 10am.Also, you cannot rent a bicycle from Hoshinoya, so you have to take a bus to the village and rent it at a nearby bicycle rental shop, which is inconvenient.There were a lot of things you wouldn't know unless you stayed there.If you want to stay overnight and enjoy Taketomi Island, choose an inn within the village.Don't leave the hotelFor those who like Hoshino Resorts,For those who want to take a relaxing break, head to Hoshinoya.Those who want to make noise and move around should head to the main island of Ishigaki Island. Hoshinoya is definitely not suitable for people who make a lot of noise.

I stayed alone for a total of 37 nights and enjoyed my time on the island.I was able to stay there and feel like I was living on Taketomi Island. When you stay for a long time, there's not much to do, but you can open the windows, close the screen door, feel the breeze, smell the scent, and have a wonderful time relaxing your eyes.The room is a villa type. It makes you feel like you're at home, and when you go out, you feel like you're coming home.In the morning, go to the coast to watch the sunrise. Afterwards, I took a walk around the grounds, took some deep breaths at the observation deck, and returned to my room for a morning bath.After having breakfast, we rented a bicycle from a bicycle rental shop and went around the island.Have lunch at the village.After that, I went back to my room, took a dip in the pool, took a bath in the afternoon, and took a nap while reading.In the evening, go out to watch the sunset, and after sunset, have dinner at the village, return to your room, and have room service or eat at a restaurant.Take a walk around the grounds at night looking for stars.Finally, I took a relaxing bath and went to sleep in my favorite space, the bedroom.Well, it's an ordinary day, but it's a special day.Also, how to enjoy a rainy day.After all, it's about feeling the sound of rain and the wind in your room. I think the best way to enjoy your time on the island is to watch the sunlight shining through and the weather change from time to time.

Not worth it for international travellers. Although the rooms are beautiful and have typical furnishings, they are not worth the expense and effort of reaching the island. There is a lack of sea culture, the beaches are not equipped or suitable for swimming apart from kondoi, where any equipment is missing. The resort does not use the beach located 30 meters away, which is dirty and has no equipment (sunbeds, umbrellas, palm trees). The proposed excursions are reductive to say the least. Given the way we manage the sea, I didn't have the courage to try snorkelling, kayaking in the river at Iriomote was nice, but short and equally not worth the expense and time. In summary, for those who come to Japan it is not worth looking for the tropical sea in these islands, it is better to visit classic Japan, it is not a place to go to the seaside. They told us that the coral reef is largely dead, but I have no direct experience.
