Club Med Ishigaki Island

It was our first time at Club Med, and although the reviews were mixed, we ended up being very satisfied!English is the main language, but many staff members speak Japanese, so we had no trouble during our stay.The facility is old, but aside from weak water pressure in the shower, there were no major issues. The room only has basic amenities and lacks a luxurious feel; however, since we spent most of our time enjoying activities or at the bar, the simplicity of the room did not bother us. It really felt like just a place to sleep.Kids can have an amazing time too, so it’s especially recommended for families! We will definitely come back!

The rooms are spread out horizontally with the main building at the center, so if you are in one of the end buildings, it can be quite far. (On the other hand, it's quiet.) Popular activities (windsurfing, mountain biking) require a reservation the day before. I was able to make reservations smoothly perhaps because of the good timing of my visit, but during high season it seems like making reservations would be difficult. The competition for mountain biking was high due to limited capacity. There were lifeguards present so I could enjoy sea activities with peace of mind. Even after checkout, although you can't use your room anymore, having all-inclusive services was appreciated. However, showers require a reservation. It's best not to forget to make a reservation on your last day. I didn't know and faced some trouble but was grateful that they allowed me to use it for just 15 minutes before my reserved time slot. Room extensions are possible for an additional fee.
