ANA Holiday Inn Resort Miyazaki, an IHG Hotel

Super place to stay. Not your typical Holiday Inn. We think this is the best place to stay in Miyazaki, which is actually in Aoshima, or right next to it, and I think much better place to stay than the huge city of Miyazaki proper. The Ana hotel is right on the ocean with a great walk through the ocean park along the beach to the Island of Aoshima with a beautiful shrine and walk around the island. Check out the nearby Boranical Gardens. Watched dozens of surfers each morning out in the big surf from our 7th floor room. Spectacular views. Room was big and very comfortable. Furniture was in good condition, appropriately a bit older style to match the decor off the hotel. Well-kept and extensive fountain and garden grounds outside the hotel. Staff is great, with some good English speakers. They have accurate bus connection information (stops right at the hotel). Eat tasty fresh oysters you grill at your table at the Fisherman's Coop in town. Food delivered to your table by robot! Several food trucks near the beach. Also a restaurant by the beach public foot bath will cook seafood for you in natural hot water. Perfect!

This is a calm spot in front of the beach. We paid 110 a night for a room on one of the two top floor. Sure this hostel is old but our room was spotless!

View was a 10. We had ocean view. Nice walking paths to Aoshima island with the Ogre's rock washboards. Great to see people surfing from our room. Nice free parking. Buffet dinner was very good. Great English speaking concierge staff who went over and above.

The room is spacious, and the hotel is conveniently located just by the sea. There’s an ice and drink vending machine near the rooms’ lift lobby, which is a great and convenient feature. Bed is comfortable and staffs are friendly. You can park your car at the lots opposite the hotel which they will help to pay when the parking space are full outside the hotel

We’ve stayed there more than 30 times. It is our home away from home. Obviously we love it. The view from almost any room is gorgeous. Walk out the door and you’re right on the beach. The kids love it all year round. This time we stayed in a Japanese style room with beds. It was very clean and comfortable with a nice atmosphere. The premium coffee maker in the room was a nice treat. We’ll be headed back next week for more swimming, surfing, walls on the beach, breathtaking views and good food.
