Miyako Resort Shima Bayside Terrace

The meals were simply outstanding!Dining in a spacious setting separated by rattan partitions that block views of neighboring tables felt almost like having a private room, and the ocean-view location and comfortable seating made it even better.It truly felt like a private space without worrying about those around us.Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, packed with plenty of seasonal local ingredients, and enjoyable both visually and on the palate. The timing of each freshly served warm dish was perfect, making for an exceptional dinner. Thank you for such a wonderful time! I’d love to stay again just for this cuisine.The only minor drawback was that the scent upon entering the lobby was a bit strong and not to my personal taste.

We stayed for two nights. There were four adults in one Room (Garden Twin), but even with four beds it didn’t feel cramped, and we were able to relax comfortably. Since it was a family trip, the spacious open closet was also helpful for preventing forgotten items. Each bed had its own power outlets/charging ports, which was extremely convenient. We expected a garden-side Room, but we could also see the ocean from the balcony, which was wonderful.I also liked being able to choose only the services we needed at check-in.As someone who always carries a water bottle, I really appreciated the water dispenser service in the Hotel. We enjoyed plenty of great-tasting water. It would have been nice if the provided pitcher were a bit larger, but there were two so it wasn’t inconvenient. They were acrylic, so there was no worry about breaking them when carrying them around, and they looked stylish as well. It was also fun to boil water in the cute De’Longhi thermos kettle and enjoy tea.As is common at many Resort Hotels these days, the pajamas here were very comfortable and helped us sleep soundly.A small detail, but both the Room trash bin and the bathroom trash bin had liners properly fitted inside, which made them easy to use.Breakfast around 8:00 was slightly crowded and there was some waiting time, but once we were seated we could relax at our own pace. We chose Western-style breakfast on day one and Japanese-style on day two; both were delicious and very filling. For dinner we chose BBQ, and on the second night they changed up the ingredients so we could enjoy something different. The carefully selected seafood and meat were all delicious, and there was more than enough food including rice and dessert. On the second night it felt like we had a private setting, and we truly appreciated all of the staff’s help.There is also a large public bath; it wasn’t an Onsen, but it was clean and relaxing, so we were very satisfied.All of the staff were pleasant as well—they spoke to us naturally when needed without being intrusive—so we had a very comfortable stay. The Facility amenities and services felt just right—not too much or too little—and it felt like a Hotel where you can unwind at your own pace.It rained on day one, but early in the morning on day two we saw a rainbow during sunshower conditions. We’d love to come back in another season to enjoy different views of the sea in both morning light and at sunset.
