### 4/5 — Great fun and cute little management game

*2025-10-23, version 1.30*

A little slow to build up but ultimately a satisfying management game. Another gem from Kairosoft.

### 5/5 — Cutest game yet!

*2025-07-24, version 1.30*

I like all the kairosoft games. This one is the cutest!!

### 5/5 — やりごたえあり！

*2025-05-19*

やりごたえあり、癒し系でもあり、すごく面白いです！カイロソフトのキャラも可愛いし、やり込み要素満載です。

### 5/5 — Kairosoft

*2025-05-18*

This dev team is my favorite one 😘

### 5/5 — 😊

*2025-05-16, version 1.30*

I’m going to rate and review all the Kairosoft games starting with this one. 
I give it a 9 out of 10. It’s definitely one of my favourite games of theirs so far. There’s a lot of different things to do which keep you engaged in gameplay, like creating the best building combos, trying to fulfil the requirements for new sea life and new visitors, and completing missions to rank up your resort and get achievements. It’s also relaxing to look at the lil sea creatures and people on holiday haha

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-04-21, version 1.30*

Love this game

### 5/5 — I have it on all devices

*2025-04-10*

It is one of the best kairosoft games.

### 5/5 — Wonderful Aesthetics

*2025-03-31*

I love kairosoft games but this one really captured my attention with its tropical island aesthetic. Very fun and really gets you in the mood for summer. I wish you could zoom out a bit farther, but that’s pretty much my only critique.

### 5/5 — One of my Fav Kairosoft games

*2025-03-25*

I’ve been a long time fan of Kairosoft games, and this is the one I recently finished up. I could not put this one down! Discovering all the combos, travel packages, and wildlife was so so fun. Love the strategy and creativity involved with trying to level up the visitors and facilities. Can’t recommend this game enough! I definitely will be replaying this one in the future.

### 5/5 — super addicting

*2025-03-17, version 1.30*

this game is so cute and so much fun. it’s so refreshing to be able to play an app game that isn’t full of micro transactions and isn’t bombarding me with ads. it’s really well made and makes me want to play the other games in the series

### 5/5 — Very calming

*2025-03-12*

I downloaded this to play as i’ve played every single other game by kairo, and throughly enjoy this one. Especially playing at the beach. Keep up the fantastic work, I look forward to every release from you guys and have been for years❤️

### 5/5 — Would love to see a casino management game

*2025-02-20, version 1.30*

I love these games! I’m going to buy airport story next

### 5/5 — むずいよりです！

*2024-11-28*

おもしろいけどcまで結構躓くかも

### 5/5 — 難しいだけど、面白い

*2024-11-06*

カイロソフトの中に1番難しいゲームに間違いないかと思い、各景色の配置にもこだわりが結構あるので、思う存分遊ぶか、またすぐ諦めるかの感じかね(笑)

### 5/5 — I like it :)

*2024-10-18*

I don’t know how, but these are the only games the I have kept on my phone this long and playing it this far. Its cute lol. Hope to play some more of these in the future.

### 5/5 — 面白い

*2024-10-12*

カイロソフトさん作品の中でも自由度高め。
やり込み要素も大満足でした！！

### 5/5 — Refreshing :)

*2024-09-19*

I play a lot of Kairosoft games, and I’ve been disappointed before, but this one is really good. 
The hook is solid, and there’s enough different kinds of goals to keep you interested in the gameplay loop. 
It’s like Dungeon Village in that you’re trying to improve a town’s popularity, with different qualities appealing to different kinds of visitors. It’s also got a little bit of monster-collecting in the ways you can get more sea creatures to show up. 
Almost all the assets are completely original to the game, and the art is good quality. Maybe I’m just in a beach mood, but it’s colorful and it cheers me up to look at it. 
One of my favorite Kairosoft games so far! Please, keep working on more simulators like this- these are the kinds of games that made me loyal to your company in the first place.

### 5/5 — One of my favourite kairosofts!

*2024-09-06, version 1.30*

Really great

### 4/5 — 夏っぽくて楽しい！

*2024-08-20*

去年の夏休みはプールパレス、今年はこっち！
なかなか難しいけど楽しい〜！

### 1/5 — Crashes on launch.

*2023-03-02, version 1.21*

Completely unusable. Changed setting to turn off auto-rotate, the app crashed, and will no longer launch. The loading screen flashes and it crashes to the Home Screen. Lost all progress and wasted money.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2022-07-01, version 1.21*

I just purchased on iPad and there’s no sound.

### 1/5 — スマホの方は注意！

*2022-04-27*

他の方も書いてましたがプレイ中、めちゃくちゃ基盤が発熱します。
iPhoneはカメラの下位置に基盤メインロジックボードがあり、ここが発熱でダメになるとスマホが死に、復旧不可となります。

### 1/5 — 発熱とバッテリーの消費が激しい

*2022-04-24*

前作のキャンプ場ゲームと同じでしょうか？
発熱とバッテリー消費が激しく、周回プレイしようとまでは思えなかったです。

### 2/5 — 画面の視認性があわない

*2024-06-02*

随分まえに購入し、すぐに辞めてしまってまた再開したのですが、すぐにやめてしまった。

画面の中に入る画角が大きすぎて、プレイ続行がきつかったです。
ドアップすぎて、自分の位置がわからない。

建築を置くときに、チカチカしすぎで、見づらいので、確実に何度も間違える。
幽霊がでてきてしまう。
建築修正にお金がかかるので、無理でした。

購入前のサムネにはすごく期待していました。

### 2/5 — Good

*2023-09-20, version 1.28*

Good game

### 2/5 — 発熱が

*2022-04-29*

カイロソフトさんのファンで、ほぼ全てのアプリを遊ばせていただいています。

他の方も言っているように、発熱とバッテリーの減り方が異常です。

10分ほど遊んだだけで、スマホが熱くなってきます。

### 3/5 — お金が無くなる……

*2024-10-23*

カイロソフトのゲームの中だと難易度が高い方？？入口固定の配置ゲーなので、あまり見た目にこだわることができない😭
でも操作性はいいと思いました！難しいだけで、面白さは癒され度は大変良いです✨ラクダかわいい！

### 3/5 — 아쉽네요

*2022-11-30*

워터파크 스토리를 워낙 재밌게해서 바캉스섬 스토리도 굉장히 기대하고 깔았는데 너무 아쉽네요..
뭐랄까..? 할게 없는느낌..? 할수록 지루해요.. 카이로소프트 다른게임들은 중간에 재미없어도 다시하게되는데 바캉스섬 스토리는 영.. 다시하고싶은 생각이 안들어요

### 3/5 — 항상잘하고있습니다

*2022-08-25*

아카데미 스토리3하고 바캉스도 하고있는데 재미있어요 근데 제폰만 번역이 덜되있는건지 한글이랑 한자 일본어가 섞여서 설명이 적혀있네요... 외국어를 못해서 하기는 불편한거같아요

### 5/5 — Great game, worth the buy!

*2026-05-18*

Such a fun game and really cute graphics. I hope Kairosoft continues to update their older games and release new games too. I love that some of their games that have no in-app purchases. Thank you for making mobile gaming fun again!

### 5/5 — Deep and fun game

*2026-04-09*

Lot of fun, 100% worth the price

### 5/5 — One of their best

*2026-03-10, version 1.30*

This game is great. So many fun building combos, meaningful choices, and chill island building fun. I like the scale of the game too, with the huge roads making it clear how quaint your little island paradise is.

### 5/5 — これはこれで◯

*2026-02-02*

いつものカイロソフトと違ってゆっくり楽しめる　他のゲームよりやることが多くなく疲れない　マイペースにじっくり作ることができる　寝る前にやってると眠くなる

### 5/5 — !!!

*2026-01-23, version 1.30*

loved these series of games since i was a kid. never gets old!

### 5/5 — 힐링그잡체

*2025-12-02*

그래픽 너무 예쁘고 귀엽고, 진짜 휴가 간 기분이라서 좋고 재밌는데, 스탬프 받고 미션 깨려면 시설 배치를 예쁘게 할 수가 없어서 불만임

### 5/5 — Lots of fun

*2025-08-15, version 1.30*

This is one of my favourite Kairosoft games.

### 5/5 — My favorite Kairosoft game yet

*2025-08-14, version 1.30*

More specifically, my favorite iteration of their combo placement management sims! The stamp system elevates their formula to new heights, giving you a greater sense of progression and concrete goals to fulfill. Love it <3

### 5/5 — Addictive game

*2025-08-10, version 1.30*

I am always a loyal player of Kairos and this one is even more addictive than ever. Cause it is more flexible and fair prices on land adjustments. Combo exploration is still the cliche shine of Kaito games but this one is not rigid than other games. Might update some other ideas later….

### 5/5 — Nice relaxing

*2025-07-27*

It’s nice to design your own stuff. I can choose where to put the buildings and make it look nice and just let the game give me the rewards when I find out the combos very relaxing.
