ALLAMANDA Splendid

As others have written, it was a wonderful Hotel. Since there doesn’t seem to be much mention of it, I’d like to share about breakfast. You can choose from three venues, and the Chinese restaurant Kohakuro—recommended by the staff—was excellent. Not only were the dim sum made by a dim sum chef outstanding, but the seafood congee also came with plenty of toppings. I wondered if I could eat that much in the morning, but it was so delicious that I finished it all. This kind of breakfast is rare, so I highly recommend it.

This was my second trip to Miyakojima (I stayed within the Shigira Resort on my first visit as well), and it was my first time staying here. Although the beach is a bit far, the resort shuttle bus made it convenient, so I didn’t feel any inconvenience. The property is new and very clean, and I really appreciated how quiet it was without being crowded.At check-in, I was offered a paid upgrade to an ocean-view Room with lounge access. In the end, the view was great and I’m glad I upgraded. However, since the lounge closes at 8:00 PM, it felt a bit short; if it were open until after dinner (around 10:00 PM), I would consider making a Reservation for a lounge-access Room again next time. Also, the lounge hours and details (lunch time, cocktail time, etc.) differed from what was stated in the Facility information brochure provided (the brochure said open until 10:00 PM and included lunch time, but in reality it closed at 8:00 PM and there was no lunch service). I recommend updating the brochure to the latest version. Also, given that only a few months have passed since opening, scaling back the lounge already feels like cost-cutting too soon. There are many Hotels in this price range with more substantial lounges, so please consider balancing cost decisions with guest satisfaction.For breakfast, we used With Blue and Maralunga. Both offered many local items and were delicious.Although I hadn’t mentioned that my next stay would be at another Hotel within the resort, perhaps because you coordinated through my IKYU Reservation; luggage transfer went smoothly and was extremely helpful. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.
