Yaeyama Islands, Asia hotel rooms at the Independent

"Nice place, easy to access and close to the main area. Buildings nearby are quiet so really great to stay. Only one thing is the parking lot is small that if you drive a big car, quite a good challenge to this"

"Great service from staff, we loved the hotel amenities and breakfast buffet was great. Will definitely book here for my next visit to Ishigaki."

"The hotel room is spacous, clean and tidy. The ocean view is spectacular. My wife and I love it so much. "

"Have been in Ishigaki for 6 times, Miyahira Hotel did surprise me on the location, amenities and room condition. I stayed at the new building with balcony, which works perfectly well for divers - to dry our gear. Location is quiet and just stone throw to bus terminals for airport transfer. Breakfast is the top in town, from variety and quality perspectives. You can enjoy Blue Seal ice-cream there. They also offer free coffee everyday until 5pm with paper cups to facilitate take away. Next time, I will stay in Miyahira. "

"Service worth money"

"Incredible destination. Everything is so beautiful in the resort and well tought of. We loved the design, the view, the staff, the pools, the batida restaurant and its chef Francois is also really nice and delicious. The breakfast is so worth it, and we loved the happy hours durings weekdays. The spas and saunas were also a big add on (for free) and we were happy the resort accepts tattoos as there are many that don’t. The area around is not as luxurious but very safe and the grocery store is nice to cook a meal in your bedroom if you feel like it. Only thing to upgrade would be there was no equipment to do the dishes so we had to use hand towels. Also if you want to go to a restaurant outside you better reserve before as we were refused because of lack of place. Overall it was on of the most beautiful hotel we went to."

"A beautiful place on a gorgeous white sand beach. It’s a bit of a hike to get to the nearest village (kabira) so get your international drivers license and rent a car, or prepare to wait for the bus and take some cabs if you plan to leave."

"The hotel have a small pool, around 5 min walk to the beach, "

"The hotel is beautiful and well located on the beachfront. We had a stunning view. The room was spacious, clean and beautiful. The only thing we were very disappointed in was the poor level of English in the reception area. It was painful and at times impossible to inquire about anything. They have a service app that was helpful with most things but when it wasn’t working or it wasn’t a simple matter and you have to go through reception it is very difficult. "
