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.
Friendly staff and excellent service. Very nice property with spacious villas. Restaurant catered to our vegan diet. Good location from where to explore the island. Will return and highly recommend.
Best hotel I have ever been in my entire life! The place is incredible, the staff is more than perfect, the service is very very high quality, the food is great and the attention to every detail during your stay is impressive! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
Incredible place! The hotel staff were amazing, very friendly and on point. They didn’t miss a beat. They helped us arrange a rental car through their property, dinners, and hiking tours. They have a spa on site which is great. We were lucky enough to get sunshine both day we were there but had we been “rained in” it’s a perfect place to lounge and relax. We had the smaller room and this room was NOT small at all! Highly recommend!!!!
Sankara was a perfect oasis of peace and tranquility on Yakushima Island. The service was impeccable. Everyone knew who we were and the villa we were staying at. So polite, gracious and helpful. The facilities were top notch and the spa was wonderful. We sampled the massages and facial treatments. Amazing experience. Dinner options were perfect. We were very impressed. My only complaint was the breakfast got a little repetitive and boring.
We will definitely return.
