Beds are hard- not horrible but for a 5 day stay it wasn't super comfy for sure Parking avaliable but a bit of a walk in the heat 🥵

View, location, walk in pool and kids pool, had pool floats for guest use, restaurant on the property

“Beachfront” and “seafront” are not the same — and this hotel proves it. Despite the description, there is no actual beach directly in front of the hotel. The nearest beach is about 2 km away, and honestly, it's nothing special. We chose not to rent a car because we expected to relax right on the beach, but ended up disappointed with the lack of one. Also, breakfast options were limited, especially for European tastes

Staff super friendly and helpful, the sea views, the sunsets, the BBQ dinners, swimming pool.

Negatives: I had booked a Mountain View and it was overlooking a muddy roof so not much ambiance, and they put me In the old wing which was clean but very outdated.

very clean property, amazing staff, great breakfast options (including vegetarian options). The communal bath was simple and clean ans nicely appointed. I felt very safe as a solo female traveler and location was central between town and club med/or northern diving on the island. Had an in room shiatsu massage which was decent (not the best ever but not bad). Lunch and dinner vegetarian options were limited and I do think you need a car if you stay there, not much around. Didn’t use the pool much because it rained most days I was there. Fairly good value if you want something clean and convenient with a very helpful staff

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.

we had fantastic views of the sea and enjoyed great sunsets with Iriomote island in the background. The hotel restaurant was a great place to enjoy very good diner

Everything felt difficult, it seemed like it was run like a 2-star hotel. A few examples: lunch was only available for two hours with one option, we rented bikes and both had flat tyres, we got a call at 22:30 about a trip that hadn’t been booked for us (by 17:00). You also can’t go in the sea at the front of the property because of the jellyfish (other resorts have nets).

Beautiful pool area and great bedroom (in the more modern complex).

I didn’t notice while booking that this hotel has “sea view” but doesn’t have a beach. I think I’ve read “in front of the beach” so I booked without double checking. Another thing that could have been better was the restaurant, I think the menu was very limited

The breakfast was good and staff were kind and helpful . Also the bus stop is 1 min walking so it’s very convenient if you want to come and go through Ishigaki

Maybe a little bit of renovation of some spaces

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.

Spectacular room view and neat design at the new wing. Great service and they also offer small complimentary treats upon check in. Would love to visit again!

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.

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

There wasn't anything that I didn't like

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.

The hotel was kind enough to upgrade us from a room with Mountain View to one facing the ocean. The staff were kind and eager to help and were also flexible enough to let us bring our own dinner and eat at their premises.

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.

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.

There was no beach at all. Room had an odor of urine.

Liked the breakfast buffet, the pool was nice, the staff were friendly and accommodating - always willing to help and always were greeting us, and hotel location was close to town. The staff made our stay wonderful experience thank you!!

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.

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!

Although it’s facing the sea, it’s not a place you can swim. Quite an industrialised area having been built up with various hotels. Not much around here. Tattoos not allowed in the onsen which seems quite backward. Strange policy around having the room cleaned. Rewards are offered if you choose not to avail of cleaning but there are no recycling bins in the public areas to get rid of rubbish so the room needs to be tidied daily. Was a bit stressful having to choose which days we wanted cleaning right after arriving at check in. As always in Japan, less single use plastic would be great to see. Also I think this resort really misses a trick by not having the bar open throughout the day. It would be lovely to sit out on the decking in the evening if there was a bar and a bit of atmosphere. No vegetarian options in the restaurant either which had to be prebooked before arrival.

Rooms in the annex were very nice. Although there seemed to be some mould or dirt on the walls and ceiling. Nice big window looking out at the sea. Water refill station was a great option instead of plastic bottles.
