Tokashiki is a piece of paradise on earth and staying at Kanaloa was the best decision I made when booking this escapade. Initially planning to stay for 3 nights, I extended for 2 more and had to stop there because I had to go home, otherwise I could have easily spent another week at this place. The staff whole staff was absolutely amazing. Always available, super caring and exceptionally professional. The owner fell in love with the island when he came to visit it during a school trip during his youth. He worked hard to buy and renovate a building in Tokashiki and make it this amazing place to stay in. He is truly passionate and impressively wears many hats throughout the day, and I fully admire his commitment to his dream. Location: Literally 2min walk away from the ferry port, so no need for transfers. 3min walk away from the only supermarket on the island. Multiple transfers are arranged everyday to take you to and from the two main beaches of the island (prefer Tokashiku for a more quiet experience). Room: Clean and fully equipped with everything you might need for your stay. It could be tight for 2 people but it is the usual size you'd expect for a Japanese hotel. Traveling alone, I had plenty of room for myself. Restaurant: You'll notice that there aren't many places to go to for dinner around the island, but you won't need that. The hotel's restaurant is grand. The menu is varied, the ingredients super fresh and the food is amazing. I honestly wasn't that hungry during my stay but I would always get more food than needed because everything was so delicious! Also, DO get the breakfast option as you won't have many outside of the hotel, and the care that you will be receiving here is unmatched. The Japanese one is exquisite, with a fresh piece of fish every morning, as well as an assortment of local delicacies. I will 100% be back. After a month of traveling around the country, this was by far my favorite place to be in.

Nice place and kind staff. The beach is just 3 minutes away. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and abundant.

We had the best stay ever! This location is truly paradise. the host is incredibly helpful. He offers to help you make restaurant reservations and organise transport to get there since there isnt really a bus or taxis on the island. He picked us up from the ferry and dropped us off again. He made us really nice breakfast sandwiches every morning. The most helpful thing was that we got a bit unlucky with the weather there was a typhoon and tsunami warning and he always informed us and kept us up to date about whats going on. The ferry wasnt going because of the weather so he organised a boat taxi that drove us to the island! Incredibly proactive and a lovely person! We recommend staying there.

St. Maire Zamami has been one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at. They welcome you at the port and drive you to the resort front door, it’s really close by but it’s appreciated, especially if you have a large luggage. You get a welcome drink, you get to choose a complimentary bath and shower kit, and you also get to pick your first breakfast time and menu before being taken to your room. Rooms are spacious, clean, modern and elegant, with nice views over the port area. Breakfast is prepared fresh for you every day, and you always get to choose the time and the menu for the next day. You can have it both indoor and outdoor. Quality is very high. Staff is super friendly and helpful, it really felt like a family taking care of you, I have kept ‘bothering’ them with many requests and they have always helped me, from suggestions on what to visit to where to eat for lunch and dinner. I HIGHLY recommend having them suggest and book dinner restaurants for you every single day because there aren’t many options and they tend to get full quickly. If you walk in either direction from the resort you will end up in 2 beautiful beaches, I suggest visiting both, especially the west one for amazing breathtaking sunset views. The resort provides you with beach towels and snorkeling masks if necessary. The closest observation deck is Takatsukiyama and I recommend visiting it, you can easily walk to it in around 15-20 minutes and you will have amazing views, plus a nice patio to relax at. Around town you will find many snorkeling and similar activities tours options, and you also have the possibility to rent bikes or scooters.

We loved the place. Very nice stay with the best hosts ever. Beautiful beach nearby (38 steps- that is why the name). Lovely swims with turtles and at evening a fantastic sky with stars. The breakfast wonderful especially the japanese style one. We also ate very good food at the place evenings. Best recommendations.

The service was awesome, every request was made in no time, nice place and good breakfast, totally recommend!

The staff is super friendly and always happy to help. Having dinner on the rooftop at sunset facing the beautiful sea and the starry sky at night , there are so many unforgettable memories!

The shuttle service on the island provided by the hotel was amazing. The hotel staff was so friendly. They even made photo stops during transport. I went out snorkelling and to watch the sunset with them. They were so friendly and enthusiastic and make sure you have an amazing time.

Excellent hospitality, all the staff were extremely friendly and kind. It offers a brilliant car-free holiday as the hotel has its own shuttle bus. Incredible location.
