The Beach Terrace Hotel AO Ishigaki

有私人陽台、海灘、草皮、人少安靜舒適，早餐非常豐盛美味，以後還願意再來住宿。

it was a woderful trip when we stayed in AO hotel.

El hotel es bonito y el personal muy amable, lo que hace que la estancia sea agradable. Sin embargo, el servicio de restaurante deja mucho que desear, ya que no cuentan con un sistema constante de servicio. Un día quise desayunar y me dijeron que tenía que avisar con antelación, lo cual no resulta práctico ni conveniente para los huéspedes.

We absolutely loved staying at the Beach Terrace AO. It is a true gem on the beautiful island of Ishigaki. The staff is so kind, thoughtful and made our experience perfect. We hope to come back someday!

small family-run hotel right on the beach

thank you for the kind service. i truly recommend this place!

2泊3日おせわになりました。部屋の広さや設備にも満足ですし、スタッフの皆様も親切に接していただきました。何よりホテルが海に近いのと、部屋から海が眺めれるのが最高でした。 また、そもそも施設の部屋数が少ないため、静かにゆったりとした時間を過ごすことができるのもすてきでした。 BBQのコース料理も予約させていただきましたが、味もボリュームも大満足です^ ^ ただコンビニまでは8分〜10分ほど歩く必要があり、すぐ近くにご飯屋さんの数が少ないので、レンタルカーをすることをおすすめします。ホテルでは自転車の貸し出しも行ったいたので、近くまでサクッと行きたい分には特に問題はないと思います。 全体的には大変満足しているので、次回石垣島に来た際はまたぜひご利用させていただきたいです。

スタッフのサービスが非常に良く、気持ちの良い滞在ができた。 雰囲気もヴィラ風でも南国に来た感じを味わえるし広い共用スペースにはハンモックやBBQスペースもあった。 要確認だが自転車も置いてあったのでレンタルも出来そう。 朝食もかなり豪華で総合的に大満足でした。

Booked with breakfast, but because I was the only person staying in the hotel, they gave me a stupid excuse that they can not serve breakfast. Just tell me the truth, people are not stupid... and I can understand. One of the main reasons I booked this property is because they have a big jacuzzi on the outside of the room, in the garden. Unfortunately, it was so dirty and unusable. I do not understand why they did not clean it. Weather was mostly nice at 22 c. and I would have loved to use it. So overall, I felt I have really overpaid for the off-season deal I have got.

お部屋も快適でスタッフさんも親切でとても楽しい思い出になりました。 また利用させてもらいたいと思います。

it was a very cozy small hotel for solo to families. very nice staff with full support to those who stay with right advice. breakfast is great full of local vegetables and nicely cooked. rooms are very spacious and clean, with jaggzy with the view of taketomi island!!

As the title says, I have mixed feelings about this hotel, so I'll point out the good and the bad (in my opinion). The good: enormous room with lounge area, additional seating area in bedroom, two beds, really spacious bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath and power shower. You are provided with all of the toiletries that you could need including extras such as face cream, hair serum and lotion. Good coffee making facilities with a fridge and freezer! (Good to freeze water and allow it to melt throughout the day). the best thing had to be the amazing massage chair! The room had a wow factor. Although the staff speak very little English, they are extremely polite and helpful. Large and tasty Japanese breakfast (you do have to reserve a time the day before). The bad: poor first impressions...on arrival the seating area in the lobby was stained and the restaurant was closed for the whole night (however staff helped to reserve a table in a traditional restaurant 5 mins away). On the second night we were advised to eat in town as it is 'better and cheaper'. Whilst the room was lovely, the mattress was a sprung mattress and was quite uncomfy if you're used to memory foam. The hotel is also in a terrible location. In the middle of no where next to what looks like ex military residential blocks complete with watch towers (or so it looks any way). There really is nothing else close by. Really small beach which is covered in seaweed. I've stayed in resorts before where staff work hard to keep large beaches free from seaweed). Sun loungers are provided but they are without cushions or covers so can be uncomfortable. The grounds are tiny and are scruffy (certainly not well kept or immaculate)! (See photo). There are goats and a cockeral in the grounds. Finally, there was a musty smell to the room and public area, almost like mould. Although this was feint and my partner couldn't smell it. Whilst there are some good points to this hotel, I'd stay closer to the town where there is a great choice of restaurants, a good atmosphere and plenty to do. I'd also find somewhere with a much better beach if you plan to spend time at the beach. Hosever if you want an amazing room to use as a base to explore this could be for you.

This is a lovely boutique hotel - private and exclusive rather than "only one" as the sign displays. Rooms are spacious and immaculate, complete with sea-facing balconies and massage chairs. Breakfasts very tasty, whether Japanese or western, with freshly baked bread, and wonderful coffee and juices; and excellent evening self-service BBQs, featuring local beef. Kept our kids occupied Above all the service is superbly personalised. Nothing is too much trouble for the team (they invited in a friendly locally-based American to help translate for us). The beach is small and fairly non-descript and not suitable for swimming given jelly-fish risk (an issue across the island). But this is a great relaxed base for day trips, including to Iriomote with its brilliant kayak/river-diving day excursions which will appeal to all families with energetic children (10+)
