The accommodation was great (not to forget the 24/7 „onsen“ in it), the food was excellent and the service we experienced was the best in my life thanks to a staff who was always keen to understand your needs and wishes and fulfill them im the most sincere way.
Summary: A great stay to „recover“ from the busy cities

Positive: Everything. Literally the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. If there was such a thing as “six stars,” they should have the designation. And I’ve stayed at five star properties. Food was exceptional. Room was huge, spotlessly clean, 100% private, and beautifully appointed. The private bath was eye-popping and wonderful. Beds were perfect. But the best part by far was the service—the level of care, the attention to detail. Rio, Jun, and Tommy were among the many staff we interacted with. Rio was kind, natural, thorough in explaining the facilities. Jun was a whiz with wines and food recommendations. Tommy noticed my left-handedness and made sure my place setting was arranged to accommodate it at every meal. I was blown away. Hidden gems: fabulous e-bikes for rent, free cookies and snacks in the lobby and room, corn ice-tea, and free passes to the beautiful onsen at their sister property, Samana.
Negative: Absolutely nothing.
Summary: 100% Perfect

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Sankara is a beautiful hotel on an absolutely incredible island. Our room was spacious and filled with various amenities, and the in-room jacuzzi was amazing after a long day of hiking. But the spectacular property and landscape is itself topped by the hotel staff's exceptional service, as the entire Sankara team went out of its way (in various ways) to make our stay special (we were celebrating our engagement). I hope we have the chance to stay at Sankara again, and I highly recommend Sankara for anyone looking for a luxurious home base for their trip to Yakushima or for anyone looking for a beautiful place to celebrate a special occasion.
