Kabira Ishigaki Japan

We have been coming back to Kabira many times over almost 20 years. They always provide excellent food from all over the world. The staff are friendly and chatty.

But the facility is getting a bit old, but they keep it clean and tidy. They can improve a lot if they start refreshing the interior design, because it is getting outdated, though.

Thank you for your great and perfect service during our stay.

Candra is always friendly and gingerly to everyone and his smile makes us happy. He never misses a small signal of his guest. I'm proud of his professionality.

Hamida has also great sense to catch their guests' heart by her skill. We've enjoyed her dish which is beautiful, tasty, with perfect marriages. It satisfies not only the taste but also our eyes.

Your showtime was fantastic especially sound scape show! I'm loving it! I love whole show!

Thank you for everything! Wishing their successes wherever they are!

If you want to snorkel and see amazing fish you can do that in the resort 25m from the beach. All the staff are professional and super friendly. It really feels special and the food and drinks were outstanding as you would expect from Club Med

This is my first Club Med experience. G.O.s are really frendly and super nice. The village is beautiful with bars and a stunning beach.
Special thanks for G.O. Jessica and Bruce. Gave us wonderful advices and schedule of our trip there in Kabira and Ishigaki. We had a perfect vacation!

Hotel services

• Check-in, check-out, luggage assistance
  From the moment we exited the airport there were people waiting for us and instructed us where to board the bus. The bus ride took 45 minutes from the airport to Club Med. After we arrived they gave us our bracelets, which served as our room key, and could be used for services and merchandise that are not included in the package. Everything can be charged to your room, and you pay before leaving the resort on the last day. Our room was at the far end of the resort: walking from reception to our room took 5-10 minutes. Our luggage was already sent to our room when we arrived. On the morning of departure we left our luggage at the door and they picked it up for us.

Hotel grounds

• Pool: There is a regular pool and a kiddie pool, but the regular pool is full of kids anyway so it’s not really possible to swim laps. With the beach nearby it didn’t really matter. Aqua aerobics was fun.
• Gym: didn’t use but there were some equipment, weights, treadmills, spinning machines, also yoga and cardio classes took place here. Also there are courts to play basketball, tennis, ping pong, archery, trapeze…
• Restaurant: We loved the food here. Great variety, we ate here three times a day but there were rarely any repeated dishes. Even the desserts were different each day and oh, the desserts were fantastic! Big shoutout to Chef Meli, he took such good care of us and always gave us a warm welcome 💙 Also we loved the bar, which offered all sorts of drinks, alcoholic, nonalcoholic, custom-made, and snacks and ice cream too. Ferry was my favorite bartender, he was always attentive and hilarious 😘

Room

• Cleanliness: clean but sometimes there were bugs that probably got inside from the balcony, but that’s understandable because we’re surround by nature and right next to the beach. Our room was on the ground floor so we could walk directly to the beach from the balcony.
• Space: spacious enough
• Housekeeping: simple housekeeping daily that made our bed and emptied the waste
• Wifi: free WiFi but reception was not really good

Area

• Safety: yes of course totally safe
• Transportation: We asked reception to get us a taxi so we could go to the town center to buy souvenirs. Club Med Kabira is pretty secluded, so the taxi ride took half an hour and cost 5000 yen one-way.
• Places to eat or shop: there is a boutique shop on site, which offers swimwear, snorkels, water toys, clothing, snacks, sunscreen and other things.
