Hotels near Sunset beach, Miyakojima

We were quite apprehensive prior to our stay here as the ratings were quite low and some scathing for a Hilton resort hotel that opened about a year ago. There were even some minor hiccups during check-in that confirmed our prior bias to the negative. However, all that changed rather quickly night after night. And to make a long story short, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would stay there without hesitation if we were to return to the beautiful island of Miyakojima. In hind sight, I believe the hotel went through some early growing pains when they opened in June 2023. The island itself, much like other rural areas of Japan, is going through seismic demographic changes, leaving it with a shortage of local workers--most of their employees are either from the main island of Honshu or from overseas. After their initial launch, they seem to have made significant changes ironing out those early wrinkles. And this may always be a work in progress for any establishment for that matter: There were some issues we noticed with the lines for breakfast. Hilton Diamond members are able to make advanced breakfast reservations, whereas non-Diamond members are not thereby having to wait in line for breakfast that can be quite long. The issue here is that there is no separate line for the Diamond members, so when they go to the front to inform of their reservation, those waiting in line think they're cutting in (as they don't know what's going on and they're frustrated with the long lines to begin with) setting the stage for some potential 'fireworks' (angry customers) that actually happened during our stay. My suggestion to alleviate this would be--and I've seen this done at other Hiltons--to have 2 clearly delineated lines with signs: one for Diamond members with reservations, and the other for non-Diamond members. This way the staff doesn't have to keep explaining to the others waiting that some customers have reservations, and, the Diamond members won't feel bad going straight to the front ahead of the others waiting in long lines. Service at every function we experienced was great, we had no issue with the DIY bottling of drinking water, the swimming/walking at beach was fantastic, parking was abundant, and to top it off, we were blessed with favorable weather.

We stayed for 7 nights in early December. First of all, the front desk, restaurant, room cleaners, etc. were all well-educated and welcomed me comfortably, and I was able to spend a comfortable time. I asked for a box because I had to leave early in the morning for golf, but the chef's attention was wonderful and it was a very heartfelt breakfast. In addition, pasta which we ate in lounge was very delicious. Izakaya on the island is good, but I think dinner in the hotel lounge is also good. The location is also highly recommended.

お部屋の内装がいいです。ソファーとテーブルがあって広いです。それに部屋全体の色合いが「南国に来た！」と思わせる、気分が上がるいい感じ。 朝ごはんのセルフマグロ漬丼がおいしかったです。ただ、朝ごはん会場はあまり広くないので、ゆっくり食べたかったら、思いっきり時間をずらしたほうがいいかもしれません。 大浴場もゆったりできてよかったです。離島なのにお湯をざぶざぶ使えて申し訳ない。 ホテルの場所は、繁華街（？）から歩いてすぐ。夜もいろいろ散策できて気楽でした。オーシャンビューではないけれど、それを補う部分がたくさんあって、快適でした。

The room was 48 square meters, but it was too crowded to add a small bed for 3 people. There are no commercial facilities and restaurants around the hotel. The hotel is in the Greek Santorini style and very beautiful. The dining is also good, especially the breakfast is very rich.

Very convenient because it is close to the airport. And beautiful! It is so close to the airport that you can see Miyako Airport from the window of the room. It is a convenient place to go sightseeing anywhere in the location. I stayed in a ”family room” with my family, but ２ It was like a bunk bed and the children were very excited. Lol The room was also very clean. There is also a pool outside, which is also available for children every day. Lol Certainly it's not a resort hotel along the beach, so you can't see the sea, but above all, the cospa is the best! Satisfaction １２０％ is this quality at this price. This hotel is recommended for active families who just sleep in the hotel for sightseeing and sea play during the day.

I stayed for 3 nights in a 5th floor Standard Twin room in the Ocean Wing side of the resort. The Ocean Wing has 6 floors, and is older than the Coral Wing, which has 9 stories. While the Coral Wing apparently has wider views, the view from my room was nevertheless spectacular. Given the hotel faces West there’s a great view of the sunset from the ocean-view rooms. I also liked that my Ocean Wing room had wood floors. It was very spacious with 2 very comfortable double beds and a small seating area. The bathroom has shutters that you can open in order to see the view. A nice bonus was the beautiful Okinawa Botanicals bathroom products. While this is not a luxury resort, and the building and facilities are a bit dated, it is very well maintained. The grounds are gorgeous, with beautiful trees and gardens (and a very small golf course). The Yonaha-Maehama Beach on which the resort sits, is perfect - soft white sand and crystal clear water. You can access the beach on the south side of the resort only. There are lots of beach chairs and umbrellas maintained by the resort. I met a few staff who spoke good English, and with the others I had no problems communicating using the iPhone Translate app. The staff are so kind - absolutely every staff will greet you as you go by. I loved the restaurants, especially the barbecue restaurant. Also the buffet breakfast (included, you can also choose traditional Japanese breakfast) was excellent - I loved the fresh lychee and other fruits, omelette bar and espresso machine. I rented an electric-assist bike from the hotel’s beach club (¥1,000/hr) to explore Kurina-Jima, which was tons of fun. it was great having the 24-hour coin laundromat on site (wash ¥200, laundry soap provided). There are coin dryers or there was a full drying rack in the room, which was very convenient. The only thing I didn’t love about this resort was the pool. There’s unfortunately a raised platform that blocks most of the view of the ocean from the pool. I only saw kids and their parents use it during my stay. Fortunately the gorgeous beach is only steps away… Overall I found this resort to be super relaxing and excellent value for the price.

Avoid at all costs. This hotel is 3 stars at best and charges 5 star rates. The property only benefits from its stunning views and location which is not unique and can be achieved anywhere on Miyako. The mid level room was over $1000 and was nowhere near the quality of the other luxury hotels we have stayed at on our two week honeymoon. All of the reviews that are glowing are surely from guests who do not know what a $1000 hotel experience should be. The service at dinner was unbearably slow nearly 2 hours to deliver 1 soup 1 salad and 1 entree. Water was never filled. Our server was so preoccupied in long conversations with other Japanese guests and tables with loud and disruptive children. Lastly the bed was unbearably hard. I know this is a personal preference but trust me there was something wrong with this bed. A hard foam bed with zero fluffy surface at all equivalent to putting a 1cm foam pad on the floor. You will be much happier staying at the brand new hilton hotel.

The hotel is one of the hotels in the entire Shigira Resort. The resort is very large and there are many things to do. There are free tuk-tuks or buses connecting each hotel to the ropeway and beach, which is very convenient. The hotel has a free shuttle bus to Miyako Airport. No reservation is required for pick-up, it is right at the arrival exit; drop-off needs to be booked at the front desk. There are golden hot springs, ropeways and other facilities around. There are turtles in the bay at the door, and there are many kinds of marine sports. We signed up for paddle board and free diving tour. The room itself has a washing machine, which is very important. Go into the water several times a day, and wash wet clothes quickly. It also has its own kitchen, large refrigerator, oven, and coffee machine. The air conditioning is very powerful. Disadvantages: This family room is in Habor Wing, the facilities are old, the floor is still bulging, and although the cleaning is timely, cockroaches are found. The bedding is not very comfortable.

This was my second visit. Last time, the breakfast was very delicious and I was able to do it. i've been taking care of you this time, santa monica. and also celebrated his birthday It was a very nice memory, such as a very nice room, a birthday present and a photo service. Breakfast was delicious. It was a marathon day, so I was sorry I couldn't eat it calmly. Every year, I'm looking forward to taking care of my favorite ones rental car, which is cheap, and snorkeling on the shore of Shinjo, and playing with the underwater aquarium 🐠 turtles. Every year, I'm taking care of you, Santa Monica, and I'm going to have a better service and a good meal. I'll come back to play again. It was very good Difficult う

This is the second year we have stayed here. We stayed here as a family of four for three nights. The children love the loft on the second floor, and as soon as they arrived this year, they were happy to spread out their luggage freely. The jacuzzi gave us a tropical feel, and we used it many times, day and night. It's the best. There is a drum washing machine, so we can do laundry without stress. It takes about four hours from washing to drying. They gave us one free detergent every day, but we brought our own gel balls. The beach directly connected to the hotel is the best in Miyakojima. It's a hermit crab paradise at night. You can see the stars and the fireworks at Shigira Beach. The adjacent Imgya Marine Garden also has a spectacular view, and the sea is full of fish, so it's worth seeing. The breakfast is also very delicious and has many dishes. There are many dishes that are local specialties of Miyakojima. The buffet at the Coral Blue restaurant at night is also recommended (reservations required). The room we stayed in the first year was not as sunny this time, but there was a dehumidifier, so our swimsuits and other things dried quickly, which was a relief. All the hotel staff who helped us were polite and kind. Rather than just thinking about what we were doing and calling out to us, it felt like if we called out to them, someone would immediately respond. The cleaning staff would often make eye contact with us and smile when they passed us on the street, which left a very good impression. There were shisa lions on the roofs of each building, which were very cute. If you go to Miyakojima, this is a recommended place to stay. I would like to go again.
