Amazing beach get away. Needs a few more activities for kids around the pool but the most amazing food we ate in all of Japan!

Awful and annoying music/noise all day at pool. All activity booking must be done on app that requires every personal detail entered each time and then doesn’t work. Wasted an hour with staff just to book a yoga and massage

HOTEL Ishigakijima 2020
Overall good stay except that there was very limited space to open our luggages. Suggest they should remove the big chair set to provide more space.
