Family-friendly Hotels in Ishigaki

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 north is the construction site and the road, very noisy, must choose the room to the south by the sea. The service staff is very friendly and has bicycle rental, but you must rent it early or you will have the children's bike left. Riding the children's bike around the island for sightseeing. The challenge is great 😂

The room is very small, the facilities are very old, the front desk lady is good in English, giving advice on various trips and attractions. The location is very good, go out to eat, go for five minutes is the drug store. Going to the dock is also very close, about 5 minutes. Very suitable for backpackers or self-driving, there is still a distance from the attractions. Recommended Chuanping, the beach is particularly beautiful, you can make an appointment to go diving or snorkeling in advance, there should be high visibility.

There is too little information on clubmed on Ctrip, so let’s update it. This is a very family-friendly hotel Three meals a day and free flow of designated drinks: the three meals are very rich, and the dessert area is my favorite. Children's Club for 4-10 years old: There is a mini club in the evening, and you can also book many small classes. You can also leave your children in care and play by yourself. I like the staff at Kids Club very much. The children were introverted on the first day, but they integrated in the next day. Bar: A place where you can go for a drink at any time, and there are shows in the evening. Room: It's too humid. The quilt you sleep on is also humid. It's impossible to dry your clothes by yourself. If you mind using the public washing and drying machine, you can only bring more clothes. There is a dehumidifier, but it is too noisy. Transportation: You can only go to the airport by taxi, which costs about 6,500 yen one way. The recent exchange rate gave me the courage to call a taxi in Japan. Activities outside the hotel: I went to a folk village to see monkeys. The hotel helped to book a car. The taxi fee plus entrance fee was about 10,000 yen. You can also book island hopping, but it depends on the weather, so try to avoid the typhoon season. Service: This hotel does not require passports during the check-in process, so take the room card to see if it is your name. After all, we have too many people with the same surname. It took me a long time on the first day to realize that I didn't book the room myself. This small mistake is unlikely to be made by Japanese hotels. It's very frustrating when you spread out all your luggage and put it away again. When you are eating, a hotel staff will come to you and ask if you can sit with you. This is a characteristic of Clubmed, but for me, it may be digging your toes out of the three bedrooms and two living rooms. Finally, the shopping street at Naha Airport in Okinawa was very nice. We rushed to the outlet, but it was a pity that we didn’t have time to go shopping. Outlet is at the No. 4 station at the arrivals level 3 of Naha Airport. The ticket is 250 yen, half price per person and child, and the one-way trip takes about 20 minutes. You can store your luggage at the airport locker. Thanks to Miss Stella, Ray.

A nice cafe & restaurant that stopped at the return of the Hirakubo Lighthouse at the northernmost end of Ishigaki Island. It was just lunch time, so the seats were full immediately. I couldn't eat outside because it rained. It was out of town, but there was no lunch below 1000 yen because it was ocean view in the tourist spot. I ordered 1,580 yen of Ishigaki beef curry and 1,280 yen of seasonal vegetable pepperoncino. Both sides came with a nice look. There are sliced stone wall beef and a lot of stone wall vegetables, and the curry rice of the vegetable is gentle with the feeling of cafe rice rather than the strength of curry. I got Pepperoncino, but this is more gentle and I put on tapasco. You should not ask for a punch. I think the beach can be seen from the third floor, and there are chairs and beds, and it is a very good place to reflect if it is a sunny day.
