"The staff really goes above and beyond to make the stay perfect! Heated pool. You can borrow floaties for free. So much amenities they lend out, most of it free! I was even able to borrow a telescope for free, to view the beautiful night sky! Only thing I can suggest is if their TV had Internet for YouTube or could screen cast. Would definitely come back!!"

10/10 Excellent
"It’s not glamping it’s a boutique hotel. Close to beach and good spot in the middle of ishigaki. Rooms were fantastic cabanas. Very comfortable. Nice sauna, pool was not heated which was the only drawback. we visited in winter. Dinner was huge and good value for bbq beef on a patio. Cheap beers and fireworks. Excellent free breakfast. Good romantic retreat not a family vibe. Isolated so you need a car!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Tarama?

This central location means you're never far from the port, which is essential for arrival and departure, and it provides easy access to the island's main roads that lead to its beaches and natural sights. The layout is quite spread out but easily navigated by bicycle or car, with most places within a short distance of each other.For couples looking for a quiet retreat, staying in one of the guesthouses near the village offers a peaceful base.

When is the best time to go to Tarama?
The best time to go to Tarama is during the shoulder seasons of April to June and September to November, offering pleasant weather without the peak season crowds.During these months, the weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the island's natural beauty and beaches. You'll find fewer tourists compared to the busy summer months, which means a more relaxed experience and potentially better value on accommodation and activities.
