Sankara Hotel & Spa Yakushima

1) Paddlerdienste sind in Japan nicht weit verbreitet und ich dachte, dass es nur wenige so wunderbare Paddlerdienste gibt. Meinen herzlichsten Dank möchte ich Herrn Paddler A aussprechen, der mir persönlich zu Dank verpflichtet war und auch anderen Kunden einen wunderbaren Service geleistet hat. 2) In Bezug auf die Mahlzeiten war die komfortable Speisekarte anspruchsvoll, und obwohl es sich um eine einfache Speisekarte wie Salate und Hamburger handelte, wurde sie mit großer Sorgfalt zubereitet und war köstlich! (Es gibt noch einige andere Menüs, die mich interessieren, und ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Mal.) Andererseits habe ich mich gefragt, ob es noch eine andere Speisekarte für kreative Gerichte und Brote gibt. (Ich denke, es gibt persönliche Geschmäcker ...) 3) In Bezug auf Getränke gab es viele lokale Produkte wie Originalgetränke, und es hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Auf der anderen Seite gibt es in Bezug auf das Servieren von Wein usw., obwohl es sich um ein Luxushotelrestaurant handelt und ab 2000 Yen / Glas keine Verkostung, detaillierte Erklärung, Nachbereitung usw., daher zögerte ich. 4) Die Atmosphäre der Zimmer, Einrichtungen und Annehmlichkeiten (lokale Marken und umweltfreundliche Produkte) sind ebenfalls ausgezeichnet. Außerdem wurden zwei Arten von Seifen installiert, und ich konnte den Duft auswählen, der zu meiner Stimmung passt. Obwohl der Rasierer ein hochwertiges Gerät ist, ist er jedoch sehr schwer und nicht einfach zu bedienen, daher denke ich, dass es bequemer wäre, wenn er etwas leichter und billiger wäre. Danke, dass du mir geholfen hast!

위치는 항구에서 멀지만 야쿠시마 남단 산 중턱에 위치한 이유가 있는 것입니다. 광활한 바다가 내려다보이고 뒤로는 산이 올려다보이는 아름다운 뷰를 자랑합니다. 밤에는 별이 엄청나게 보입니다. 서비스는 말할 것도 없습니다. 최고입니다. 수영장 물은 차갑지만 볕이 좋아서 별 문제는 없습니다. 섬 특성상 모기는 있습니다. 조식, 석식 모두 맛있었습니다. 꼭 다시 한 번 방문하고 싶은 최고의 리조트입니다.

The staff at Sankara Hotel and Spa provided the best service I have ever had. They were always available to take us to places we wanted to go or to pick us up. Beautiful property with a great view of the ocean. Stayed in a very nice villa within walking distance of the hotel.

A wonderful hotel! We were collected from the airport by the hotel, for the 30 minutes drive. On arrival the staff were so welcoming. We had 2 villas (upstairs and downstairs). The hotel is on a very steep hill, but the staff collect you in buggies whenever you want so don’t let the hill put you off! The main building housed the lounge and restaurant - and we helped ourselves to drinks at the bar before dinner (excellent selection of drinks and snacks available throughout the day/evening). We used the hotel’s car for one day to see the island (self drive) which was so useful. We were contacted in advance of our stay to discuss our dietary requirements. Breakfast and dinner were exceptional. We stayed 3nts, and on our last we just fancied a simple meal instead so ordered from the room service menu, but still ate in the main restaurant which was lovely. The hotel has a great laundry room where you can use the washer/dryer whenever you want. We have stayed in many Small Luxury Hotels of the World - but without any doubt, this hotel had the best service and truly outstanding staff. We absolutely loved this hotel!

Everything about our stay was amazing. Sankara was easily one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in around the world. They made our honeymoon incredibly special.

Getting to the hotel involves a flight to the Island. Pick up by the hotel was included. Walking into the lobby you look out at the water. The picture on Tripadvisor's page for the hotel does not do the view justice. Our welcome was warm with a nice drink and after a quick check in on the deck, we were offered a tour of our room. We opted to sit on the deck, unwind and order lunch. We finally left for our room which was a villa that housed two units. We had the upper suite. Inside was a very largenice room. The highlight of the room was a large indoor shallow hot tub, which was fabulous in the bathroom While meals were included we opted for the extra cost chief style French dinner. There were about 10 dinners seated around a large hotplate. The chief made and described each course with many local ingredients. We ordered wine by the glass. The hotel has a large wine cellar. The meal was very memorable. The next night we ate in the main dining room and again the meal was fabulous. I asked for the wine list, which mixed up our server. Finally the wine list was found and it was extensive with some great sections. The pastry chief stood proudly in front of her amazing creations insisting you taste as many as you wished. The desserts were clearly French style and rivalled the best French patisserie. Hotel and restaurant was refined and and warm. We took a day trip by local bus to tour the island. A great stay.

We had a most wonderful time at this beautiful hotel. The view out to sea is amazing as are the grounds. Our ground floor villa room was huge with everything we could possibly want. However, what makes this hotel stand out are the staff. Their attention to detail was incredible. They took time to understand our dietary requirements and we ate the most amazing dinners and breakfasts. The wonderful bread was an unexpected bonus. This is the only hotel I have ever stayed at where they even ran a bath for us ready for when we returned from a hike! The staff were friendly and engaging. Yes, it rains a lot in Yakushima, particularly in June, but the beauty of the Island and this hotel is simply breathtaking.

I’ve traveled all over the world, and I can say with certainty that this was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. They are kind & welcoming hosts - and the rooms were incredible. Great English, and even better service. Plus, the food was OUTSTANDING. Don’t hesitate to stay here if you find yourself in Yakushima!

We stayed three nights at the Sankara in a first floor villa room, which is their least expensive. We also had upgraded our dinner to have it in the Oras restaurant, which was their nicer restaurant, The cottage was nicely laid out, and comfortable. Meals were superb,and among the best that we have had. For the three dinners, we sat at the chefs counter, which is highly recommended. The dinners were all amazing, and no dish was repeated. Although styled as French, it was really Japanese with local fresh ingredients, although a few dishes required a fork and knife. They also listened to our food likes and dislikes. Breakfast was also amazing, with great pastries and cooked dishes. We highly recommend the crepe. My wife took advantage of the spa and had an excellent shiatsu massage and also a Thai message, which was by a Thai masseuse. The stag was very attentive NS responsive, and remembered what we wanted, and who we were. Of the seven hotels we stayed at in Kyushu, this one had the most and best English speakers.
