Kurima Island, Miyakojima hotel rooms at the Independent

"Lovely room, stunning view and a good breakfast. It was the off season so wasn’t too busy. I’m not sure what it would be like in summer, there was still a wait for breakfast despite it not being exceptionally busy. If you want to explore the island then you’ll need a car, especially if you want to snorkel. The beach at the hotel is great for swimming but not snorkelling. There are some superb snorkelling spots around the rest of the island though. "

"Clean, quiet. Staff very courteous and kind."

"No hot water."

"This property is incredible, the staff were amazing and so kind. From the moment we arrived until we were taken back to the airport by the shuttle was seamless and carefree. No notes, a must stay! "

"Excellent service and very nice room and amenities. Would definitely come back"

"Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Room was clean but as a Westerner, the beds are too had an uncomfortable and the pillows are flat. TVs should be updated where customers can BlueTooth to the TV for streaming (not everyone speaks Japanese or wants to watch Japanese television). Shower head/water pressure feels like you are being pelted with needles. Dryer function on washing machine does not work well so be prepared to air dry which takes a long time. Otherwise, very centrally located and we completely enjoyed our stay. "

"The room was wonderful, the the view of the ocean spectacular. Staff kindly and available. "

"ホテルの施設だけでなく滞在期間中のホテルスタッフCSが素晴らしかったです。また訪れたいと思いました。"

"The hotel is clean & cosy, staff are attentive and courteous and the location is quite convenient. Various dining options available and within walking distances. The sea view is amazing and treated to very beautiful sunsets every day. The only thing that I didn't really like are the pillows. For some reason, they are designed to be lumpy on one side and soft & smooth on the other side. Anyway, I will definitely stay there should I visit Miyako again. "
