IKI RETREAT by Onko Chishin

玄関ロビーだけでなくお部屋からも綺麗な海が見える抜群のロケーションです。お食事も美味しく、さりげないスタッフの心配りが嬉しかったです。

很好很滿意

食事　ホスピタリティ　ロケーション全てに文句無し。素晴らしい。ただ、この場所の割に値段が高め。ならこのサービスは当たり前か？

We stayed at Iki Retreat while on Iki Island. It’s a Modern ryokan with large rooms and excellent staff. The staff were excellent from the minute we arrived. Warmest in greeting and there was a gentleman who spoke English who helped with check in formalities. Our room on the second floor was the junior suite. It had two bedrooms, an outdoor tub, living room and one shared toilet plus an en-suite toilet. We decided to take the room with the en-suite toilet and shower. The bed was just the right firmness, but the quilt was a winter quilt. Super hot for this period. Rooms have split unit air cons. All rooms face the sea. Chairs are arranged by the window for you to enjoy the view with a tasty beverage. The drinks in the fridge were complimentary. There’s also tea making hot water flask available in the room. The toilet was small but contained all the usual Japanese functionality. Warm toilet seats and electronically operated sprays for one’s bum area. We had a single sink in a compact area. Lots of amenities available in the drawer. Typical for Japanese ryokans, all bathing and face washing soaps and gels are available in the room. My wife tried the outdoor bath. It’s filled with water from the onsen and it’s super hot at 48 degree celcius. She quite enjoyed the experience. The second toilet and sink is placed here. There’s an outdoor shower. There is a small Gym in the basement, I spied two cardio machines and a pull up bar. The onsen spa is also placed in the basement. If you’d like Coffee, this can be had in the reading room, on the opposite side of the restaurant. The Restaurant serves excellent kaiseki dinners and a very filling breakfast. We had really delicious meals here. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They are observant and will try to anticipate your next ask. Eg. They passed me some serviettes before I asked for it, and they were very good at keeping our drinks topped up. We asked to change dinner timing and booked a cab through the hotel and this was done efficiently and we were kept informed. Overall, a great stay here and I would highly recommend Iki Retreat.

長崎空港からORCで壱岐空港へ。 ホテルまではレンタカー。 プレミアム和洋室３階の部屋に2泊。 部屋のテラスからは対馬も見えます。 お部屋は元々の２部屋を１室にした作り。 決して新しい感じはしませんが使いやすくしてあります。 冷蔵庫内は無料。 コーヒーメーカーもあります。 水はサーバーがあり不自由はしません。 部屋付き露天風呂は自分でお湯を張らなくてはいけません。 お湯の入れ方自体は説明もしていただけますし、簡単です。 でも、でも、そこが意外と面倒。 お湯はとても良いのですが、入るたびに自分で調節しなくてはいけないので、結局、お手軽な大浴場へ。 常に適温のお湯で満たされているタイプの部屋付き露天風呂がやはり便利だと思わされました。 大浴場は人も少ないし、またＨＰ予約特典の１回無料で使える貸し切り風呂もとても気持ちよく良かったです。 何度も言うようですが、お湯は良かった～！ 食事は連泊でしたので、会席と鉄板焼き。 会席も美味しかったですけど、鉄板焼きは別格。 もう贅沢な食材が次から次へ。 壱岐の周りはクロアワビを始め海鮮に恵まれていますし、壱岐牛も素晴らしい！ 朝食も連泊だと、２泊目は異なったものを用意してくれます。 そして食事が終わると、ラウンジでコーヒーを楽しめます。 もう至れり尽くせり。 スタッフの方は皆さんとても親切ですし、的確な助言もいただけます。 壱岐は自然にも、食にも恵まれた素晴らしい島でした。 そこにこのような素敵な宿がある。 是非、また訪れたいと思いました。

Simply the place to stay on Iki Island, if you look for a luxurious Onsen Ryokan. The property has heritage but is very well maintained. We liked our room with private onsen with a spectacular view over the bay, a spacious sitting area and very comfortable beds. High quality toiletries are provided. The minibar was included in the rate and gets daily restocked – nice! There is a bar/library area, where you can order drinks or enjoy free coffee. Upon check-in we were told there is water and sparkling wine as well, but we never saw any – guess only on offer during a narrow timeframe. There are some larger onsens which you can book (nicer during daytime, as the view at night is limited), and you can visit the gender-separated public baths at any time The hotel has a couple of electric BMWs you can rent, so very easy to explore the island and be back again for dinner. Of course, transfer from and to the ferry is provided as well. A small town with some restaurants is a short stroll away, should you fancy to eat/drink out.
