Crystal Villa Bayside

Our group of nine across three families stayed for three nights, and it was a clean, spacious Hotel that everyone—from adults to children—could enjoy. It was well stocked with amenities, from essentials to thoughtful extras. We’re planning to visit Miyakojima again next year and would love to stay here again.

Pros - We stayed in Building B (with a pool, jacuzzi, and barrel sauna). Perhaps because it is relatively new, it was extremely clean, and we felt it was great value for the space and facilities. On remote islands, hot water supply can often be unstable, but here the hot water system is divided into three lines, so we had no issues even when filling the jacuzzi. Compared with other resort villas (such as Shigira), this place seems to reduce costs by being completely self-service, but considering the facilities and price, we were very satisfied and would like to come again. You also pick up your room key yourself from a key box, which was not a problem at all. - There were plenty of dishes properly prepared, and it was helpful that there were small amounts of salt/pepper, oil, plastic wrap, etc. It was also nice that they provided items for exploring outside such as lights/lanterns and umbrellas. One thing—probably an oversight in the Facility setup—there was no cutting board, so it would be helpful if one could be provided.Cons - Mobile reception is poor. The provided Wi‑Fi is fast so browsing/searching online is fine; however, if you plan to book external activities during your stay, it’s better to arrange contact methods such as LINE or email in addition to a phone number and let them know that “the Hotel has poor reception.” - Despite being such an impressive Accommodation in terms of facilities, only one bath towel per person was provided. I called to ask if they could bring extra towels from the start (even for an additional fee) so each person could have two towels per day, but I was told they had limited bath towels available (they did bring fresh towels when exchanging them on day two). In reality, once you use one towel by the jacuzzi/pool area you’ll want another for your evening bath/shower. For this point alone, I strongly hope they can provide two bath towels per person per night.Overall—aside from the bath towel issue—we were satisfied and would like to stay at this Hotel again.
