Family-friendly Hotels in Miyakojima

Located in Shigira Beach Resort, the whole resort is very large with many hotels. This hotel is far from the sea, but the facilities are very good, indoor swimming pool, beach beds, viewing balcony everything, it is a small luxury hotel. Outside the window is facing the lagoon inside the hotel. There are six or seven sea turtles. The mascot of the hotel is the sea turtle. The service is first-rate, and the breakfast is also good, especially the semi-outdoor seats, and I feel happy during the meal. There are many restaurants in the resort, all of which can be used. The sunset in the stardust garden is beautiful, and you can have dinner there. The Nanfeng BBQ in the style of Ryukyu has a very large set menu. I recommend set C with Miyako beef. There is also Saikai, soba noodles and vegetable tempura are good. There are also German cultural villages, cable cars, and semi-submarine fish watching boats at Boai Beach in the resort. If you want to book a taxi to tour the island, you can ask the hotel staff to make an appointment, which is very convenient. The transportation in the resort relies on the hotel's battery car and resort minibus, which is more convenient. It's a pity that it is far from the sea and I didn't enjoy the beach much, but the hotel itself is enough to enjoy.

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.

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.

Close to the airport, the facilities are clean, new and spacious and perfect. I am grateful that the parking lot can be parked right in front of me and it is free. All rooms were dry with a washing machine. This is excellent and does not hurt the dough of clothes or dry it rather than hanging it on the dryer. I stayed for 3 nights with a plan without meals this time, but the hotel breakfast was also available for ¥ 990 on the day, so I used it ２ times. There is no problem because the content is neither good nor bad. It's a two-story building, so if you're assigned to the second floor, it may be a little difficult because it's only a staircase when carrying a heavy suitcase. But the hotel staff were all nice people, and it was a really cozy stay. Definitely repeat.

I stayed in a hotel type for one night. It was very clean, the facilities were new, and I had a comfortable stay. The bath was very large and comfortable. I opted for a half-meal plan. I chose Japanese Kaiseki for dinner, and breakfast was a Western buffet. Both were very tasty. Although the hotel building, lobby, and Western restaurant are separated from each other, the staff shuttled us around in an electric cart, so it was comfortable. There was a pool in front of the Western restaurant. It was late August, the sun was strong, and the water was so warm it felt like a hot Jacuzzi. The Western restaurant building also has a shower room where you can change your clothes and a dehydrator. I simply rinsed it with water in the sink, put it in the dehydrator, and left it to dry in my room, and it was dry the next day. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay, so I would definitely stay there again.

It was a hotel that made all my wishes come true if I could, in a beautiful hotel with a view of the quiet and beautiful sea, which is not popular in Irabu Island, and I wanted to relax while reading a book. The facilities are beautiful, there is a manga corner where you can rent it, and the beach in Sawada in front of the hotel is beautiful, but it seems that it is not suitable for swimming, so few people are swimming. As others have written, there were some difficulties such as the lack of restaurant assortment and the lack of shops around, but the refrigerator in the room was large, so you can buy color 々 and cover it. The insects that were worried in the outer corridor also entered about two insects of the size of the nail, but there was an insecticide in the room, so it repelled. There was an infinity pool on the rooftop, but around noon, I was able to swim relaxing while watching the departure and arrival of the plane at the sea and Shimojijima Airport in the distance. This is an inn I would like to visit again next year.

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.
