호시노 리조트 이리오모테 호텔(Hoshino Resorts Iriomote Hotel)

部屋にタブレットがあり、フロントと通話出来る仕組みなのはいいのだが、いざ、通話してみようとしても簡単に出てくれない。用事を果たす為に、結局はフロントまで足を運ばねばならなかった。これは一度ではなく、足掛け3日間の滞在期間中5度発生していた。抜本的解決策が必要だと思われた。

매우 천천히 할 수 있는 호텔이었습니다. 입소문에서는 식사는 그다지 맛있지 않다고 하는 것이었습니다만, 소재의 맛을 소중히 한 상품이 많아, 모즈쿠야 참프루, 흑설탕 프렌치 토스트, 쿠로메 죽,, 참치 회, 등 여러가지 즐길 수 있었습니다. 쇠고기 스테이크는 소스가 달콤했기 때문에 소금과 시크 워크 등을 선택할 수 있으면 좋다고 생각했습니다. 아이스크림과 셔벗은 정말 일품 멜론, 파인애플이 마음에 들어 여러 번 먹어 버렸습니다. 로비 층의 음료 바도 매우 충실하고 질리지 않습니다. 호텔 자체는 새롭지는 않지만 청소는 제대로되었습니다. 저녁 스파클링과 석양은 훌륭했습니다. 그리고 호텔 주최의 이다의 바닷가는 정말로 훌륭하고, 화장실이나 가볍게 휴식할 수 있는, 테이블과 의자도 준비되어 있어서 좋았습니다. 물론 그늘이 되어 있습니다. 바다 거북이와 함께 수영하고 인생의 좋은 추억이되었습니다. 직원의 환대도 최고입니다. 잘 교육되어 있습니다. 젊지만 훌륭합니다. 하나 생각한 것은, 액티비티의 접수 스탭이 적고, 좀처럼 대응해 주실 수 없었던 것입니다. 번번기는 접수는 인원수를 많이 부탁하고 싶습니다. 그 이외는 멋진 호텔이라고 생각합니다. 다시 머물고 싶습니다. 이 사이트는 매우 합리적인 숙박 럭키였습니다.

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!

The good news is it’s quiet and secluded. The bad news is you are sequestered to what’s around you. With the benefit of the doubt and off season (late November) there wasn’t much going on around the local village. This meant every meal was at the hotel. While good, it got tiresome after 4 days. Our room was on the third floor with a view of the pool. The trees block the ocean view unless you are on the 4th floor. The daybed and outdoor patio are nice for hanging out. The clothes rack can be put outside to dry things. We came during the rainy season so no one used the pool. The beach was quiet with a daily happy hour of sparkling wine and a local cocktail. Staff were friendly and helpful especially when we used Google translator. We rented the ebkies for 4 hours and ran out of battery before our time was up. They were gracious in letting us exchange them and bring them back a bit later. We rode all around the island. A great way to spend a few hours. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t conducive to snorkeling. However We did do a the boat ride up the Urauchi River and hiked to the Mariudu and Kanbire waterfalls. We also kayaked and hiked to Pinaisara waterfalls. This is a place for relaxing and walking on a secluded beach. There are a few nice outdoor nature activities if the weather is good.

Stayed for 3 nights. Very professional operation, from meeting at the ferry port to leaving. Large hotel, but not that full in April. Introduction on arrival in kind-of-English, which complimented our kind-of-Japanese. Excellent huge room with beach view ( top floor superior twin) with a balcony and a day bed. But WATCH OUT FOR THE CROWS - don't leave any windows open, and don't leave any food anywhere - they unwrapped our sweets inside the room! Very short walk to lovely, virtually private beach, which was mostly occupied by very few people, and often just us. Good swimming despte the OTT jellyfish warnings, and superb stars. Excellent buffet dinner and breakfast, lots of variety, 2 different specials each evening, and some superb Iriomote and Ishigaki sake to taste. Chilled jasmine tea stood out, matcha mochi, we could go on.... Good walking in the vicinity, and we also hired e-bikes, which despite the reservations of this 'proper' cyclist, were great fun, ( but not that comfortable if you're over 6 foot) and got us a long way up the coast to some more lovely beaches, mangroves, jungle. We joined a firefly tour one evening, which is highly recommended. Great location on a wonderfuly tropical island

This hotel is located on a scenic beach which is nearly always empty. Very friendly, attentive and professional personnel. Great choices for delicious dinner and breakfast. Always clean towels, fun lounge with ice sticks, clean pool. I will give it 5 stars, but I do want to mention that a hotel of this type shall have more bicycles for rent, better lunch options (only two dishes!) and work on eliminating smell in the hallways (3rd floor).

４人でロフト付きのお部屋に3泊しました。リビングスペースはしっかり確保され、その他にスーツケースを広げる空間も十分にありました。最上階でも防風林が高く海が少ししか見えないので残念だなと思っていたら、ホテルの明かりが砂浜に漏れないよう海亀さんへの配慮もあるのだとガイドウォークの際に教えてもらいました。納得‼︎自然豊かな西表島におじゃまします、という気持ちが盛り上がりました！ 若いスタッフの皆さんがホテルをより良くしようという気持ちが伝わる温かいホテルです。各種アクティビティも楽しませていただきました。ランチはイマイチですが、朝と晩のお食事は大満足、息子は朝のフレンチトーストがお気に入りで連日いただいておりました！ 星野リゾートの中ではコスパがよく、ネイチャーツアー等西表島の自然を楽しむ拠点として、そして島ならではのゆったりとした時間を求める方は老若男女大満足できる宿だと思います。 他星の系のような高級志向なハード面とホテルライフを求める方は近くの竹富島がよろしいかと。

ホテル自体は最新設備があるわけでもなく、建物もそれなりに経年変化を感じる箇所もありますが、西表島の大自然の中にあること、そしてこの自然を生かした、ここでしか体験できないサービスを四六時中受けられることに魅了され毎年ここを訪れています。中でも月ヶ浜でのサンダウナー、このサービス素晴らしいですし中々続けられるものではないです（今年はおつまみ付きでした）。今回も3日連続で楽しませていただきましたが、あれだけの人数に繰り返しサービスするの本当大変だと思いますが、これからも是非続けていただきたいイベントです。周りの方々も皆、「こんな贅沢ないよね」と語っていました。ディナーでは美味しい食事と沢山オリジナル泡盛カクテルをいただき、夜は天然プラネタリウム、目が覚めたら月ヶ浜の散歩からブレックファースト、サップ・トレッキング・シュノーケリングツアー、合間にプールサイドでまどろんで、充実した時間でした。わたくしも旅行が好きでいろいろなところに行きますが、サービス全体から考えて、このホテルはコストパフォーマンスが高く、この価格帯でよくやっているなと感心しています。地理的にしょっちゅう行けるところではありませんが、また近いうち西表島にあるこのホテルを訪れたいなと思います。
