Sheraton Grande Ocean Resort

Fantastic hotel, staff is amazing and helpful. Restaurants are top notch, though a touch on the pricey side but the quality and service merit it. Maybe one other mid price restaurant when you don't feel like going too fancy would be nice. We were not able to take advantage of the Onsen due to tattoos and the pool did not seem to be open for some reason. The shopping area is a real bonus and was quite well priced with some fun and interesting items there. Has trouble trying to cast from our computers onto the TV in the room but that was common in a lot of the hotels on our trip. Understanding that they want you to use the hotel and resort but a bit more information about the city and surrounding areas to visit would also add to the experience. Easily the nicest room and view we had on our whole trip in Japan though!

Very relaxing and luxurious time here. Excellent customer service. Spacious and modern rooms. Very peaceful feeling from the spacious grounds and seaside views. Good hot springs! You will be glad you came here! We’ll be back.

Great views, lots of stores and restaurants on site. The onsen was great and overall very relaxing experience.

Very nice place to live. Friendly and professional front desk people. Great food choices.

Please avoid this hotel if possible, I would like to give 0 star if possible. Very disappointing. It doesn’t feel like you are visiting one of the Japan’s hotel. 1) when I check in to the room, I noticed some blood around the bathtub area. After called room service, they just send someone here to wipe it off with a towel. No apologies or any kind of explanation. 2) the Onsens are far away from the building. Extremely inconvenient in the winter times. The Onsen facilities are dirty and unorganized. I see a family with young kids dip into the water without any pre-clean. No staff around to keep everything clean and organized. 3) no customer service, staff is cold and looks like they don’t even care if you are there or not. They don’t care about your visit. 4) can’t call a taxi for you. When I check out, I asked to call a taxi, they explained to me that they can’t call taxi. All you can do is wait till there is one come in randomly. I waited 30 mins in the cold and windy weather. No taxi came, I ended up with taking bus with 2 huge luggage. The entire visit is way over just disappointed, almost to a level that’s regrettable/horrible. I feel like escaped from Miyazaki. Don’t get me wrong, Miyazaki is a beautiful city with amazing ocean and forests view. Just avoid this hotel then you should be fine. Forget to mention the food is horrible. Half board is definitely a rip off.
