Lulaliya

Haruki and his team were so welcoming & warm, we felt at home right away. Lulaliya is beautiful and kept very clean. The room was very spacious & we loved the little balcony- great for relaxing in the evening! One day when we had booked diving but the company was a bit late collecting us, Haruki kindly drove us to the dive shop so we weren't late! There is a ramen bar on site which is open in the evenings and we had breakfast one day- both really delicious! Would recommend! It was the perfect location to explore Kabira bay & the surrounding beaches. We felt so relaxed after our stay! There are plenty of bars & restaurants in Kabira to enjoy.

First some contecst: I traveled solo, spent a week on Ishigaki and my single goal was diving. The price for a single room with shared facilities was very appealing and looking back I'm inclined to say it was well worth it. Key points: - the room was small (which is always the case for budget stays in Japan) but ok for one person - AC worked well, bed was comfy enough - your room will have power even if you leave, so you can charge up your stuff also during the day - shared facilities include showers and bathrooms that were clean and in quite good condition - the staff was very nice, I wish they could speak a little more English - good breakfast is available at extra cost - the property is not far from a couple of dive shops Overall I was pleasantly surprised for how well the place turned out given the modest price. If shared facilities isn't your thing they also have rooms with private faclities. It's a bit remote and the taxi rate from / to airport will bite you even it's only a half-hour ride or so, but presumably you're going to Kabira Bay for a reason.

This family run guesthouse is lovely. We were greeted with the biggest smiles and so much kindness even before we got out of our taxi. They carried our luggage to our room before explaining everything to us in English and giving our the best welcome (including a tour of the building). The room was perfectly adequate, super clean, and has all you need, including a balcony where you can sit, and a hanging line for wet clothes or swimwear. Breakfast was delicious, healthy and so complete! Great value and fully cooked from scratch! They helped us hire electric bicycles and were always so so kind and helpful, with anything we needed. Just so much positive energy and an amazing attitude and feeling! There is a rooftop with hammocks that guests can use, and it’s perfect to watch the stars at night, even if there are some lights from the town around the building. Also the location is perfect as it’s right in the middle of Kabira Bay, close to the beach, to all the restaurants and cafes and to any tours/diving you might book. We hired electric bicycles which made getting to other beaches super easy and convenient. Thank you for an amazing stay!

The room was quite spacious and quiet. Well-located and friendly welcoming by the owner who took the time to share valuable tips. The breakfast is good enough as well. I was travelling alone and managed to walk to many places or take the bus to go to the Marina (to then stay at Iriomote)

The location was very good Kabira beach is a walkingvdustanxe but you can not swim, you need to walk little bit more. Beautiful sea! I rented an E bike znd made 25km. There are 3, 4 restaurants near by, and a great bakery Pinacolada, really amazing bread and pastries. Staff is very helpful
