Taketomi Katore Observation Deck Hotels

"Amazing beautiful seaside resort"

"The room was great and the staff were super helpful amd welcoming."

"Hali Hali House and the hosts hold a special place in my heart after just a two night stay. The bus stops conveniently down the road and upon arrival in the lush manicured garden I was greeted by the gracious hosts and shown the property. Despite the language barrier, she was very patient with me and it was a non issue to understand each other. I chose the tatami room for a traditional experience and I am very pleased with the accommodations. I had the best sleep I’ve had in such a long time. The bathroom was very clean and I enjoyed the japanese style shower although there is an option to use the tub. Breakfast was served each day and was extraordinarily delicious. I tried many new fruits and vegetables and really enjoyed them all. This location is very unique and just a great value overall. When I return to Ishigaki with my family I would absolutely set up home base here."

"Friendly staff, clean room, and we loved the beach!"

"Stunning. Really special place where we felt very well looked after. The staff were very attentive, and very helpful organising excursions. The particular highlight was canoeing along the mangrove forests. The houses themselves are incredibly special, and a wonderful place to relax "

"Staff are friendly and helpful. Great view from 13th floor restaurant. A little disappointed that the pool was closed at the end of october."

"The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The room was very clean. Lovely view of ocean and pool from room. We enjoyed our stay immensely. "
