Beach Hotels in Taketomi

"Our stay at Hoshinoya fell short of expectations. Uncomfortable beds, stuffy rooms, and inadequate lighting marred the experience. Mediocre food and unresponsive massage therapy added to the disappointment. The hotel grounds were confusingly laid out, and the lack of beach loungers and presence of washed-up plastic bottles detracted from the beach experience. The insistence on proceeding with a kayaking tour during torrential rain, coupled with unjust charges upon checkout, further soured the stay. Communication issues with staff exacerbated the situation. Overall. Hoshinoya failed to deliver on its promise of 5-star luxury and we would in no way return. We felt ripped off and would rate this at a 3 star best in comparison to other 5 star resorts. "

"We enjoyed the quiet, private room. Meals were mostly Japanese style with some western food also. We had fun going to the beach and collecting seashells!"

"Seems to be newly built. Basic free amenities, the room itself is very modern with a comfortable bed, TV, air conditioning, kettle, private shower, and fridge. There is a vnding machine on site. The staff don't speak too much English but we were able to communicate just fine (日本語ちょっとおしゃべるけどギリギリ (笑) In regards to the area, there's not too much; some restaurants and a small supermarket, the staff have a list at the front desk of what is around the area. Very close to the port, so a very good choice if you're coming in from Uehara port "
