Miramare Resort and Spa

We went back to this hotel after about 10 years , we cannot recommend highly enough from the minute you walk in Yana Maria Helena on Reception were fantastic totally professional over the 9 days we were there i watched them deal with awkward customers with a smile and respect I doubt I would of had the way some spoke. The food was of great choice and rooms comfortable for our stay and we were given upgardes as the rooms were not so busy, nothing was too much trouble Thank you Liz and John Rowley

We stayed at Miramare Resort & Spa from 19–26 October 2026 and, unfortunately, came away feeling very disappointed with several aspects of our stay. Indoor Swimming Pool – €25 Per Person, Per Hour! One of the main reasons we chose this hotel was the advertised indoor swimming pool. Travelling in late October, we knew the outdoor pools were likely to be too cold to use, so having an indoor pool was an important consideration when booking. We were therefore extremely disappointed to arrive at the indoor pool, intending to use it, only to be told that it would cost €25 per person, per hour. For our family of three, that would have been €75 for a single hour of swimming! Having checked both the hotel's own website and our holiday provider's description, we could find no clear indication that the indoor pool was chargeable. We fully understand that spa treatments and certain additional facilities come at a cost, but charging such a substantial amount to use a swimming pool without clearly advertising this beforehand is unacceptable. Had we known, it would certainly have influenced our choice of hotel. Dining – Chaotic, Overcrowded and Stressful Our biggest disappointment, however, was the dining experience. We booked half board but ended up eating out on three occasions during our week's stay simply to avoid the chaos of the buffet restaurant. The restaurant felt far too small for the number of guests staying at the hotel and was clearly struggling to cope. It also appeared to be understaffed, with service extremely difficult to obtain. We knew that drinks were not included with our evening meals, which was absolutely fine, but actually managing to get someone to take a drinks order was a challenge. Even getting a coffee at breakfast was virtually impossible. The buffet itself was an incredibly stressful experience. There were simply too many people trying to navigate a relatively small space, resulting in constant crowding, pushing and jostling. Rather than being able to sit down and enjoy a meal, it felt like a battle just to get your food. Making matters worse, the restaurant frequently ran out of plates. This resulted in guests standing around waiting for more to arrive or repeatedly walking back and forth trying to find basic items. These are fundamental aspects of running a buffet restaurant, particularly in a hotel catering for so many guests. The whole dining experience felt poorly organised and completely lacking in the relaxed atmosphere you would hope for on holiday. It reached the point where we preferred to pay to eat elsewhere, despite having already paid for half board. Overall The hotel clearly has the facilities to attract guests, but our experience was let down by the organisation of the dining arrangements and the lack of transparency around additional charges. When you have paid for half board, you should be able to enjoy your meals without the stress of overcrowding, queues, missing plates and difficulty obtaining even basic drinks service. Similarly, when an indoor swimming pool is advertised as a hotel facility, guests should be clearly informed in advance if using it will cost a family of three €75 per hour. Unfortunately, these issues significantly affected our enjoyment of the holiday, and we would not choose to return.

​"I had an incredible experience with George. Hands down one of the best spa treatments I’ve ever had. They have an amazing intuitive touch, great technique, and paid attention to every detail of my comfort. I left feeling completely relaxed, stress-free, and rejuvenated. I can't wait to book my next session!"

So let's start with the good points about this hotel and area. The hotel is set in a very beautiful area, the views are stunning. The town is full of coffee shops and the usual tourist type shops selling tea towels, fridge magnets etc, a taxi from the hotel is between €8-10 but also a nice 20 minute walk, so a nice place to visit. That, unfortunately, is about it for me on the plus points! The area down to the beach, which is not run by the hotel, is littered with graffiti about bombing Nato sites, and the troubles in Israel, not comforting for westerners visiting. The room we had was with a swim up pool, which was ok. You are only allocated one pool towel each and you are expected to use it all week, so trying to dry towels every day is a right pain. I asked at reception to get clean towels and was sneered at by the reception staff, and given one extra towel, not much bigger than a hand towel! The room was kept clean daily, but the bedding wasn't changed during our week here. Also the room towels were only changed because we put them on the floor asking them to be changed. It did get chilly in the evenings and we were given 2 small blankets which didn't reach the end of the beds. The hotel is on a hill, so expect to be walking up and down stairs A LOT! The staff were all either rude or just complacent, not really giving a hoot if they smiled or not. Reception staff especially rude, it seemed as if the staff really were doing you a favour to do anything for you, despite being extremely polite our end. One shining light was Marlon in the restaurant, who was very polite, smiled every day, shame the other staff didn't take a leaf out of his book! This hotel has very little in the way of entertainment. There was a guy playing a saxophone one evening, then an electric piano another night, and a woman singing another, all very low key. No kids activities, no animation team, nothing! We had our 14 yr old and he was bored senseless in the evenings. There is a pool table, at €2 a game, this was in high demand in the evenings as there's nothing else to do! The pools are clean but freezing, no aerobics or games by the pool, so very boring at times. Food - very repetitive, we were AI but still the same foods pretty much every day. Not a huge choice either, especially if you are a vegetarian or vegan - good luck! All inclusive here is split into 2 bands (we didn't know this beforehand) so we were "white" which means its a limited choice of drinks, beers and cocktails. If you were a "brown band" you could have a choice of a few more cocktails. However, most of the decent cocktails and liquors you will still need to pay for, regardless of your white or brown band! Never had this before with AI! Also during the day you could only get an instant (out of a dispenser machine) coffee. Proper coffee was only available during breakfast in the restaurant. On the whole, this was by far the worst hotel we have stayed in. It has such potential to be amazing, but the staff and the way it is run is so outdated, it just doesnt match up to any 4* hotels we've ever stayed in. Such a shame. Avoid if you want a fun, action type holiday!

Lovely hotel ,its the small things that I dislike so maybe ive been spoilt before another holidays. 1st time in Greece, no pool towel change daily at the pool ,only place to get them if your lucky is a hike to reception. Bed sheets are not changed daily just pulled up tidy ,shame as it was baking overnight. Food is nice but extremely repetitive,,little or no snacks for kids ,it said pizza but we never saw it once ,70 euro tourist tax is daylight robbery. The main harbour is nice 👌 No not again but its not bad hence the 3 stars
