Miyakojima Beach Hotels

一人旅で初宮古島の宿に選びました。 1人ですので、リッチとコストが大事でした。 海沿いとのことだったので期待したのですが、残念ながら海は向いていない2階のお部屋だったので見えませんでした。 おそらく各階1部屋のみ海が見える部屋があるのではないかなと思います。 設備は新しいものではないですが、必要十分なものがありましたので特に不便はしなかったです。 繁華街までは徒歩で20分ほどかかるのですぐにいける距離ではなかったです。ただタクシーが走っているので併用すれば問題はないと思います。 レンタカーを借りていたので駐車場が広く、無料なのは助かりました。 総じて、特別なうりはないですが、値段と場所を考えると良いホテルかなと思います。 レイトチェックアウトも受け入れいてもらい安価で14時まで過ごすことができました。ビーチもコンビニも近いのでゆっくりしたい人にはよいと思います。

Contrary to my expectations from the photos, the hotel turned out to be a disappointment. First of all, the information on Trip.com does not match reality. The site stated check-in from 2:00 and check-out until 11:00. In fact, check-in is from 3:00 and check-out is by 10:00. The staff gave no explanation for this discrepancy. Secondly, the site confirmed a room in the new building. However, I was placed in the old building, which, judging by the exterior, looks like it was built in the 19th century. The room matched the condition of the building. All the furniture was very old and worn out, some even with mold. The view and access from the window was onto a shared balcony, which meant that to maintain privacy I had to keep the curtains closed at all times. The noise isolation was terrible — neighbors were loud from 7 AM to 11 PM, making it impossible to sleep. Speaking of the beds, the mattress was extremely hard and the pillows were stiff and uncomfortable. As for breakfast: not only was it limited to 7–9 AM, but the website had advertised a buffet with both European and Japanese options. Upon arrival, it turned out that there were no European options at all, only a fixed Japanese set meal. The only good thing was that at least coffee was available. The hotel has no beach, despite being close to the sea. There is only access to a rocky embankment, where swimming is unsafe. I used the coin laundry service, paying 300 yen just for my clothes to be rinsed in water. There was no detergent provided, nor was it sold at the hotel — I had to go out and buy it separately. The dryer only partially dried the clothes, so I had to finish drying them in the room. If you plan to come by car, keep in mind that there is no lighting in the surrounding area, so driving in such darkness doesn’t feel very safe. Overall, if you are looking for a proper rest and relaxation, I cannot recommend this hotel at all.

This is a hotel located within a resort. All rooms offer ocean views. For meals, you can either walk to nearby restaurants or take a bus from the neighboring hotel. Alternatively, you can rent a car and eat wherever you like, or buy ingredients and cook in the kitchen. It perfectly embodies the concept of ”staying like a local.” Laundry facilities are also available, which is convenient.
