Iriomote Pet-friendly Vacations

A quaint and comfortable property. The house and surrounding property were pleasant with good outdoor amenities (deck, tables, chairs, etc). There was a minor hiccup with access when I arrived, but it was quickly resolved. Some additional cooking pots would have been nice as only frying pans were available for the stove which limited my cooking options. Overall a good property and a positive experience.

We loved the privacy. That is what you’re paying for here. You are completely away from the world in this little tropical dream. The pool was amazing. We also liked snorkeling at blue cave and didn’t mind that it seems to be used for tour guides. I felt better being in the ocean with a few people around. Then back to the solitude of our house. Of course there are spiders and other critters given that you are somewhere tropical. The house lizards were cute. Make sure to stock up on anything you want before your stay so you don’t have to leave. Oh, also the chef is amazing and will accommodate any dietary restrictions if you notify them with enough time.

Soo busy and wayyy to many people in the pool. I found this resort to be way too expensive for what it was. Meals were very costly, it’s very far from anything else to go eat, drinks were too pricey & you couldn’t even go in the pool because there were hundreds of kids.

The room is only cleaned once every 3 days otherwise you’re left having to pick up your own rubbish and change your own towels. Although I understand and appreciate this is a serviced apartment complex I found several contradictions: they are apartments however I invited a guest in the afternoon to have tea in the room and was told me and my partner couldn’t invite anyone in the room; there is a reception but other than checking in/out guests nothing can actually be asked to assist with (booking restaurants etc). Me and my partner came to Ishigaki where my partner proposed to me but nothing could be done to assist him in the arranging/booking of local venues. He asked on the day to write something on the bed for our return and the room hadn’t even been done, let alone anything written/decorated in the room. Upon arrival the shower door was dirty and water was leaking from the ceiling in the bathroom. Breakfast was not included in our rate, however not worth the ¥3,500 pp as there was not much option (any coffee which is not Americano are not included). Big shoutout to the lady at the restaurant who served us on our engagement night as she made sure we were taken care of. Our friends stayed at the nearby Intercontinental and ended up paying less for more services.
