Guest UserWatermark was a perfect location for us on a couple’s getaway. Since we were flying into Shimojishima airport and rented a car, we found it to be a very convenient location—only a six minute drive away. Although we could see the runway in the distance, we hardly noticed the noise of air traffic. On top of that, we enjoyed that it was in a remote area and not in the middle of town (like Miyakojima) or in the midst of a major resort area (like Shigira). We didn’t mind exchanging more driving time for more serenity. I could go on about the location but if you are looking for a quiet place on the water, I highly recommend this hotel!
The staff were always polite, which is expected in Japan, but there was also a kind of relaxed warmth that I haven’t always felt from staff in other Japanese hotels.
The facilities also struck a perfect balance for us. Not garish, not too plain; just enough island flavor but not too much. I was refreshed every time I walked through the lobby. The breakfast buffet area was clean, fairly well organized and offered a great view of the ocean. We enjoyed our breakfast times daily. We used the laundry facilities and found the machines easy to use—glad to have had this option. We also enjoyed watching the sunset from both our room balcony and the rooftop pool.
We loved our room. It was simple but had everything we we wanted, including a balcony. If you’ve ever seen a modern Japanese one room apartment, it feels much the same, without the gas range. It was perfect for our stay.

The hotel is in a very good location, with a very good BBQ restaurant directly opposite. The portions are large enough for two grown men. It is next to a convenience store, Yoshinoya and McDonalds. The most important thing is that the local day trip will pick up guests directly at this hotel. Very convenient. You must take a taxi to travel in Miyako. It costs about 1,400 yen to take a taxi to Miyako Airport, which is about 4 kilometers.
The hotel breakfast is very good, rich and delicious, and you can eat a lot. Very good.

I took a taxi from the airport. The Smile Hotel was so well-known that even the driver knew about it. There are no photos of the hotel interior. Located in the bar district, it's convenient for arriving in the evening, allowing you to enjoy Okinawan cuisine and leave your luggage there. The PIN code is provided in advance, allowing you to open and close the door.

The hotel as a whole is OK, the staff can speak Japanese and English, communication is a bit hard, but their service attitude is very good. Hotel breakfast is different every day. If you need to send it to the room to make an appointment in advance, the hotel should not provide lunch, but there is a cafe to drink afternoon tea, breakfast and dinner, you need to make an appointment in advance for dinner, the price will be more expensive than outside. There are also free activities in the evening that you can visit if you are interested. The unique long beach is also good, that is, there are a lot of plastic garbage on the beach. I checked the location and the location of the southwest coast of Miyako Island. It is affected by the black tide tributaries and monsoons. From winter to spring, it is easy to wash overseas floating garbage to the shore. The hotel said that they would have staff and volunteers to clean, but the speed of picking up garbage may not keep up with the speed of garbage flushing up, but the sea water is still very clean and the photos are very good. If you want to walk out of the hotel, it is almost impossible to consider renting a car or taking a taxi. Forgetting that taking a taxi ➕ Going out for shopping will cost much less than staying at the hotel ➕ eating at the hotel.

I recently stayed at Bibi Hotel Miyako Kukomae, and it turned out to be an excellent base for exploring Miyako Island. The hotel is modern, clean, and surprisingly spacious for the price. Check-in was fully digital, making arrival smooth and stress-free, especially after a long flight.
My room was bright and well-designed, with a comfortable bed, fast Wi-Fi, and all the essentials for a relaxing stay. I especially appreciated the washing machine and mini-kitchen, which made the trip more convenient. Everything felt new and well maintained.
The location is ideal—just a short drive from Miyako Airport and close to supermarkets and local eateries. It was easy to pick up food or hop in the car to the beaches. Sunayama Beach and Yonaha Maehama were both within quick reach. Despite the convenience, the neighborhood was quiet at night, allowing for a restful sleep.
Parking was simple and free, which is a huge plus on Miyako Island. The self-service system meant I could come and go at any time without worrying about reception hours.
Overall, Bibi Hotel Miyako Kukomae offers great value, comfort, and convenience. It’s perfect for travelers who want a clean, practical, and well-located base while discovering the beauty of Miyako Island.

Anyway, it's very good.
Equipment も Qili だし, big family to けで the most suitable だと think います.
(I was a family of five)
There is a beach nearby and there is a pool in the hotel, so it is an environment that is easy to play.
Breakfast is also very delicious.
Finally, the surrounding environment is good because the Shigira group is managed together.

Hello_trip
Only the best impressions from staying in a hostel. How to visit a Japanese house with good hosts. 💖 You need to follow the rules so that everyone is clean and comfortable: sort the garbage, do not enter the house in shoes, it's easy. In a separate fenced room there is air conditioning, a clothes hanger, a futon, a pillow and a light blanket, that's enough. There is a shared refrigerator, you can fry toast, shower and toilet separately for men and women. There is a good store next to the hostel, a place for snorkeling, you can buy coffee. From the airport you can get there by bus 7 or with a transfer first by bus 9, then bus 7. If I can, I will come again!❤️

AlisaXUContrary 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.

It was very good to have a washing machine and bathroom dryer. The location was good in front of the beach and in front of the bus stop. The shampoo conditioner was also good with PORA. It would have been better if there was tea pack tea coffee for drinks.
