Romantic Hotels in Miyakojima

"The public areas are beautiful, and the rooms in the Coral Wing are spacious with modern bathroom facilities. I stayed for 3 nights, and even though it wasn't sunny every day, the ocean was still stunning. The hotel has several gift shops with a great selection, including Miyako Island's famous Yukishio (snow salt) biscuits, so you don't need to buy them elsewhere. The Shell restaurant offers great value for money, and the stars visible from the 9th-floor rooftop at night are absolutely breathtaking. The only downside is the breakfast, which was pretty much the same every day."

"After seeing a recommendation from a YouTuber, I decided to stay at this hotel on the last day of my trip. It turned out to be a wonderful, comfortable stay that exceeded my expectations, completely relieving me of my travel fatigue. First of all, the room was extremely well-equipped with amenities and was extremely clean and comfortable. Of particular note was the large public bath, where I could refresh myself after a long day of travel. It was truly helpful for me to be able to relax both body and mind on my last night. The dining bar on the first floor also had a stylish and comfortable atmosphere, making it especially perfect for couples. Both dinner and breakfast were of high quality and very satisfying. Of course, there are many attractive restaurants around the hotel, making the location convenient for finding a great choice. Furthermore, there was a souvenir shop nearby, which was very helpful as I was able to successfully purchase souvenirs I had forgotten to buy on my last day. Because it's located in the city center, parking was charged, but the convenience and satisfaction outweighed that."

"The hotel is new, but very small, and the pool was packed like sardines. Overall it was clean, but in the evenings, a lot of termites would fly onto the balcony. Breakfast was very mediocre and always the same. The biggest problem was the poor service. For an island resort, they don't have their own water activities; everything is outsourced. The hotel staff were clueless when asked about anything. Plus, the outsourced activities were very limited; there wasn't even a 'Yabigachi' tour available, which is ridiculous. Also, one evening I asked the front desk for some salt (I bought local pineapple specialties but forgot to buy salt, and my lips were bleeding from eating it). A Chinese-speaking person, possibly *********, very sternly told me that at such a late hour, where would they find salt for me, and that they didn't have any."

"It's really close to the airport (about a 5-10 minute drive). Unfortunately, there's no airport shuttle. But you can ask the front desk to call a taxi. Although there are occasionally small insects in the room, but since it's outdoors, it's unavoidable, so it's tolerable. If you don't want to go out at night, you can go to a nearby FamilyMart (about a 10-minute drive) before check-in to buy snacks, cookies, beer, etc. You can also order pizza delivered to your room (It's not bad, but the crust is a bit soggy). The view from the window is truly beautiful; you can see the most beautiful sunset on Miyako Island. There's also a small swimming pool on the rooftop. There are two sinks, which is just right—no conflict when brushing your teeth or washing your face. There are cups in the room cabinets so you can bring up coffee from downstairs. There's also a restaurant on the first floor of the hotel, selling souvenirs, snacks, clothes, etc. We didn't get breakfast included, but the convenience store downstairs sells rice balls 🍙."

"Pros: The swimming pool and small beach are convenient for playing in the water; parking is close and ample; the rooms are spacious and functional; the hotel is clean; the staff speak Chinese; the housekeeping staff are very polite and smiling; the hotel shop has a wide selection of common souvenirs and local specialties. Cons: The surrounding dining options are not as numerous as in the city; latex pillows are not provided; and the breakfast options and variety are limited."

"A year later, I returned to the Rosewood Miyakajima and was once again captivated by its unique scenery. However, compared to my previous wonderful experience, this stay, while still featuring stunning views, was filled with an undeniable sense of disappointment. The room remained clean to a good standard, spotlessly spotless. Against the backdrop of this breathtaking natural environment, minor imperfections were easily overlooked. However, for a hotel costing over 13,000 RMB per night, the welcome amenities felt incredibly cheap and didn't match the quality expected at this price. The room's smart control system was also poorly designed. The curtains/sheers were controlled as a single unit, making independent control extremely inconvenient. In the afternoon, I wanted to take a nap in the room, while my friend wanted to read in the living room. Because the curtains couldn't be adjusted individually, the lighting couldn't meet both our needs, ultimately ruining my sleep and leaving me feeling quite annoyed. Furthermore, the sliding door leading to the outside was noticeably problematic, requiring considerable force to open; the attention to detail was lacking. Upon closer inspection, the outdoor hot tub reveals layers of tiny foreign objects floating on the surface. Both meals during my stay were at the hotel. The food quality was undeniably excellent, with exceptionally fresh ingredients. However, the service was disappointing, falling short of Rosewood's expected standards and even appearing disconnected. Each time we entered the restaurant, no staff member proactively greeted us or guided us to our seats. On the second evening, we waited at our seats for nearly ten minutes without any assistance. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, we had to call out to a staff member for a menu. That evening, I reported this unpleasant experience to the front desk manager, but received no response whatsoever. Even after checking out, I received no feedback or apology from the hotel. Is this management style and service level truly healthy? Is it gradually eroding the trust and goodwill of loyal customers? Based on these two experiences, I must re-evaluate whether the Rosewood Miyakojima should remain on my travel list."

"This was the best value hotel of our trip. Everything about the hotel was great, justifying the price. One highlight was the receptionist who helped us book a restaurant in Japanese; the service was excellent. There are plenty of restaurants, convenience stores, and supermarkets within a few hundred meters of the hotel, which is very convenient. It offers a distant view of the Irabu Bridge, which is also a short bike ride away. There are buses right outside the hotel that go to Shimoji Island or the airport."

"I was very pleased with this new hotel in Miyakojima. The views of Irabu Bridge are stunning, with unique sunrises and sunsets every day. The weather was fantastic, and I could open the window daily to admire the 'Miyako Blue' (the beautiful color of the sea). The hotel facilities are excellent; there's a restaurant in the lobby, and just outside, you'll find a beer restaurant, an ice cream shop, and a small convenience store. Even if a typhoon hits, you'll have plenty of options right at the hotel. The rooftop pool is a bit small and tends to be crowded with people taking photos. However, we could easily walk over to the pool at the older Hilton hotel next door, which was very convenient. If you want to go out for dinner, you'll need to call a taxi or drive. Most places are within a 15-minute ride, and taxi fares aren't expensive."

"Miyako Island is divided into north and south. Shiriga is located in the south of the island, facing the South Pacific. It is a suite hotel with a private pool in a resort with 7 or 8 hotels scattered around. Basically, you can only visit the resort nearby. If you want to go to the more prosperous north, you need to rent a car or Didi, which is very expensive. It is so expensive that I think I am crazy to take a taxi. If you want to fully enjoy the resort in a short time, you can download an app called Shiriga Seven Miles Resort. Otherwise, I was a little confused when I first arrived. Anyway, I was confused because there was a resort around and there was no commercial area except for the guests. Travel depends on the hotel's shuttle and golf cart, but you can communicate with the hotel at any time. As long as you go anywhere in the resort, it is convenient and you can play for two days. The local people are simple and friendly to Chinese people. There are curious and cute black-skinned local boy employees, but most of them have poor English and basically cannot communicate. The attitude is good, but I am also very polite. This hotel has a super special place. This is a surprise secret for you to discover. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. The sea is full of water, with a turquoise color. If it rains, swimming on rainy days is also very pleasant. The scenery is especially recommended in coral village. I plan to stay there if I have the chance to come again, but I probably don't have much chance to come. There are hiking routes and beaches by the sea. You can bring sneakers to climb the whole mountain and then change into slippers to step on the sea. Just thinking about it makes me happy. Food recommendation is the teppanyaki in the main building of the resort. It costs about 1,000 yuan per person. The beef is delicious, and the lobster is average. You can choose a suitable set meal. There is also a restaurant called Miyako Soba, which has a pork hot pot, which is absolutely amazing. The seafood and sashimi are average, probably because the seafood sashimi in China is actually quite delicious now. There is also sake all-you-can-eat, which is cheap and delicious. You need to ask the hotel to help make reservations in advance. There are more than 20 restaurants in the resort, and there is a guide. Just ask the hotel to help you decide what you want to eat. Their service was so-so (because in the middle of nowhere, they refused to let me check out an extra hour late), but they were very smart in ordering meals. If you tell them any requirements, they will notify the restaurant, such as you may arrive late, or you may have an allergic reaction to something you ate. They will definitely help you convey it. The suite hotel has its own breakfast, which is very simple, but you can go to the lounge all day. The lounge is different from the domestic one, there is no food, just a few cheeses and dried fruits, but there is champagne. The breakfast coffee is good, but the lounge coffee is terrible. In short, the most worthwhile thing is the spacious room with a swimming pool where you can swim freely and can lie down for 5 people, delicious dinner pork and beef, wine, emerald sea, a relaxed mood on rainy days, a breeze that is not too cold, an empty pier on the beach, a small beach named after me (I made it up myself), and friendly passers-by. The most unhappy thing is that the resort is being renovated and building a building, which is very noisy during the day and the hotel is not embarrassed at all. I learned a skill to deal with complaints, tell the guests, sorry, I can't do anything. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. The room is big and can accommodate five people, but it is a quiet resort with few guests, so five people may not fit into one room. Anyway, the service in Japan is very strict."

"We haven’t got a bad thing to say about this gorgeous hotel! We stayed for 3 nights in the compact room and it had everything we could have needed, the cleaning system was brilliant, the pool was amazing and the sunset roof had the most gorgeous view! We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone! The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do on the island. Thank you to the lovely staff :)"
