"Very informative and friendly staff. They provided transportation to the beaches. Hotel location was convenient for us. "

"Very good price for the location. A little bit hard on the back if you're not used to sleeping on a Japanese style futon(i didn't personally mind it, just a warning) Lots of nice restaurants in the area and aharen beach is just a short walk away, and it's gorgeous! One downside of Aharen is there's only one small convenience store, and it closes quite early, so make sure to bring snacks and amenities"

"I was immediately impressed with the image of the exterior, but was truly amazed when I saw how flasslessly maintained, up-to-date and clean the interior was. This is a remote island, so I was expecting something rustic, instead I got 5-star cleanliness and amenities. The staff were nice and one gentleman, Yuusuke always particularly awesome. In a major North American city this hotel would be 5x the price if not more. Also I got the Sashimi platter in the hotel restaurant at a reasonable price. Thanks Hotel Kanaloa!"

"Loved this guest house! The room is nice and the guest house has common showers and bathroom as well as a common kitchen where you can store whatever you need in the fridge or freezer, which ended up being very handy as almost every store closes before 6pm.. they also offer food there in case you couldn’t get any and I found that very thoughtful. They also offer snorkel rental for 1000yen and is definitely worth it!"

"A very peaceful stay in an idyllic setting. Kerama Terrace and Aharen is beautiful. The food is delicious The staff are attentive, efficient, polite and very engaging. We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 night stay. The snorkeling is outstanding as well. Thank you for the wonderful stay. "

"We were well taken care of during our stay. Room was great and the views were phenomenal. Breakfast and dinner were provided and served to us on the patio in front of our room. The food served was very tasty and unique. There is also a happy hour in which drinks (beer/wine) were served to our patio. Snorkeling gear and wet suit were also provided. They will also pick up/drop off at ferry port. The entire trip felt like a special and customized experience. Highly recommend and would love to return one day "

"Average experience, this is clearly a newly open residence and only one floor is in service while the owner is still renovating the second floor. Maybe a lot for one person to handle , but professionalism could improve, cleanliness was ok but not perfect and while some things are newly renovated, this is an older building. Owner is helpful though and this may all improve in time . For now it’s a bit expensive for what it is, but there is limited options on Aka island anyways. "

"Tokashiki is such a beautiful island. The cabin was spacious and quiet, with easy access to amazing trails and beaches. We had a great time!"
