Hotel berhampiran 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.

12月上旬7泊させて頂きました。まず、フロント、レストラン、部屋掃除係り等 全員がよく教育されていて気持ちよく迎えて頂き、また快適に過ごす事が出来ました。ゴルフのため朝早く出発のためボックスをお願いしたのですが、料理長の気配りが素晴らしく大変心のこもった朝食でした。またラウンジで食べたパスタも大変美味しかったです。島内の居酒屋も良いのですが、ホテルのラウンジでとる夕食も良いと思います。立地条件も良くお薦めです。

2泊3日で泊まったのですが、とても良い滞在となりました。 室内も明るく設備も新しく綺麗で、窓からの眺めもとても良かったです。 レストランもおしゃれで、バイキング形式の朝食も美味しくいただきました。 大浴場で旅の疲れを癒すことができました。 立地も空港から少し距離はありますが、街中にあるため周りの飲食店に困ることはなく、車があればビーチまですぐのロケーションでした。 駐車場がもう少し広いと嬉しいです。 また泊まりたいですし、知り合いにも勧めました。

宮古島空港からなら歩いても行ける近さで、便利な所にあります。小さいながらプールもあり、リート感も有ります。食事は朝食は出ますが、昼と夜は毎日は提供されない様です。内容は沖縄らしい料理が中心で、十分に満足できる品数です。歩いて行ける範囲に大型のショッピングセンターがあり、全国チェーン店が主ですが、レストランも充実しているので食事に困ることはないでしょう。宿代もそれほど高くなく、新しく清潔感のある設備や、礼儀の良い従業員のサービスも含めて、良いホテルだと思います。ただ、ダウンタウンからの距離はかなりあるので、夜の街に繰り出すのはタクシー頼りになります。

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.

このサイトから『チェックインは近くのブリーズベイマリーナで行う』と案内あったため指示通りに行ったが、ホテル内フロントが正解。そりゃそーだよねと思った。間違った情報は更新してほしい。チェックインに時間かかりお手間をかけたが気持ち良い対応して頂いた。1人旅なのでロケーション楽しみたく高層階を希望、アップグレードされていたのは嬉しかった。公式サイトでも『1人プラン』は無く？出来れば『ちょっと割安1人プラン』を検討頂きたい。離島の某○野リゾートはひとり旅プランは通常価格の30%off 90日前の早割と同じである。安全なひとり旅のための経費と思ってるがリーズナブルなプランあれば『プラスもう一泊』と思う。『何もしないを目的』とするひとり旅も贅沢な時間と思っている。

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。

Our experience for the most part was super enjoyable. We rented the ocean view room with a balcony (not the terrace) and it was worth every penny. I highly recommend cashing out a bit and renting the ocean view rooms. They were clean, spacious and well designed. The front staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was DELICIOUS and you can try a variety of different foods both from Miyakojima/Okinawa as well as other countries. We stayed for two nights and had breakfast twice and new items appeared each day. Our room also came with free passes to the The Shigira Lift Ocean Sky and the Shigira Onsen nearby. They also provide free shuttle busses to the nearby restaurants/facilities in case you didn't rent a car. My one and only complaint was the photos on both Tripadvisor and Google show a pool and the amenities description also mentioned a pool. There is NO pool and I was very disappointed with the false advertisement. I believe the picture was from before it was remodeled and relocated. You do get a free pass to the Shigira Onsen which is 3 minutes away and has a pool, but I feel the description and pictures should have been updated and more accurate. The only reason I didn't give this place a perfect rating. Besides that, a wonderful stay!

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。
