Hotel Romantik di Miyakojima

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.

滿意的地方在於酒店是整個Shigira Resort的酒店之一，度假區裏面非常大，可玩兒的也多，各個酒店和索道、海灘直接有免費的突突車或者巴士相銜接，非常便利。酒店有免費接送宮古機場的大巴，接機不需要預訂，就在到達出口；送機需要在前台預訂。周圍有黃金温泉、索道等等設施，門口的海灣有海龜出沒，各色海上運動也很多。我們報名了槳板和自由潛水tour。房間本身，有洗衣機，這點非常重要。每天下水幾次，濕衣服快洗就好。還自帶廚房、大冰箱、烤箱、咖啡機。空調很給力。 缺點：這個家庭房在Habor Wing，設施老舊日，地板還起包，打掃雖然及時，但發現了蟑螂。卧具不是很舒服。

行ってよかったと思えるホテル。 サービスやアメニティが揃っていてとてもいいですし朝食から贅沢にシャンパンをいただける。 スタッフの人も丁寧ではありますが、口頭説明が少なすぎるので、もう少しこのサービスの有意義な使い方を教えていただけるとより満喫できた気がする。

ホテルは新しくきれいでした。 部屋はとても快適でした。デイベッドやバルコニーのテーブルと椅子などもGoodでした。 屋上のインフィニティプールもいい感じでした。 お風呂は洗い場と浴槽が別で良いのですが、ドアの開く方向で非常に使いにくかったです。 洗面化粧台が２つありますが右側の水流が非常に弱かったです。 冷蔵庫のコンプレッサーがうるさかったことが残念。 ただ冷蔵庫のサイズが大きくて使いやすかったです。 キッチンが付いていてこのサイズであれば最高です。 ワイングラスはなく、ロックグラスのみ。 ホテルのレストランは朝食バイキングで補充があまりされなくビジネスホテルの朝食のような感じ。 夕食は全く期待外れ。スタッフの女性の私語が響いてくる。料理は貧相。イタリア料理なのかなんなのか、恐ろしく少ない量の野菜のバーニャカウダとか。素人でも作れるマニュアルがある料理のようなスタイル。 価格はそれなり。 ちなみにシャンパンボトルでテタンジェが2万円でしたｗ フロントスタッフの接遇も残念な感じでした。 安心感のあるマネージャーやシェフがいるとスタッフの雰囲気も変わると思います。 安く大勢でワイワイと過ごすならいいと思いますが、飲食に関して逃げ道がないという印象です。 駐車場スペースが狭く、切り返しがむずかしい敷地でした。

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.
