Miramare Resort & Spa

Great views and beautiful outdoor areas. The standard of the rooms varies significantly and it is random what kind of room you will get. The room was clean but worn and the view was limited. Pool areas are clean and beautiful. Food is ok but made for a large crowd. Snacks in the pool areas are poor: only donats, small pies and some times watermelon. All inclusive is not worth of the price.

We spent 7 nights at this lovely hotel. Our room was basic very clean. Bathroom was OK. The shower was an issue the shower screen was on the wrong side so when the shower was in use the floor was soaking wet .we reported this and was given extra mats for the floor which did the job .we was half board we could not fault the food a good choice of food. The staff in the restaurant were very friendly and helpful. The bar has a wonderful view with seating inside or outside. Again the staff were amazing. The bar manager was brilliant he always spoke to everyone and was very friendly and funny. I highly recommend the spa i had a treatment which was brilliant. The only thing I would say about the hotel is there is alot of steps so not ideal if you have mobility issues

So, where to start. The staff definitely make this place special. They are all very friendly and did so much to make our stay a truly wonderful one. From the moment we arrived to the morning we left they all showed us nothing but kindness, and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is perfectly placed for the short walk into Agios Nikolaos. There are also two beaches within easy walking distance. We had a pool room with a sea view, but discovered it was very public as there was a walkway right in front of it and very little shade. I requested a parasol but unfortunately this wasn’t available due to the high winds. Instead we were upgraded to a beautiful suite which was much more private and offered plenty of shade all day. We opted for All inclusive Premium (Gold Band) because we wanted the convenience of not worrying about paying for extras. We did get some extra types of drinks, including bottles of wine with A la carte meals every night if you’d like it (and for us, it was entirely worth it), a free massage each, room service, mini bar topped up every day, free safe and theme nights all included. The problem is the scheme is very confusing and some drinks aren’t included particularly a Mojito which is my personal favourite. It’s confusing because there are several tiers of Accommodation. Bed and Breakfast, half board, all inclusive and all inclusive premium. The food and drinks menus are marked with White and Gold flags to indicate which drinks were included for each category and quite frankly it makes no sense. I my opinion to simplify the packages all normally available cocktails should be included if you’ve paided for all inclusive irrespective of what colour band you have paid for. Then maybe have branded drinks for the highest band. The entertainment can only be described as poor I’m afraid, it’s a mixture of some of the worst piano playing and singing we’ve ever heard. However the Cretan evening was excellent. It was a supplement plus drinks for all other boards but included in the Gold Band. This in itself made the upgrade worth it. The rooms are a little dated, ours had a stereo with a cassette player built in, but again, they were well appointed and the toiletries were excellent quality. There were areas of the public spaces that have some issues with missing or broken fixtures. This is particularly important as there are some very steep drop off and stairways. The pools are cleaned regularly but along with the sun beds and parasols could do with upgrades. The food was ok, pretty standard fare for all inclusive these days. We especially enjoyed breakfast and the A la carte restaurant, and the views were breathtaking from all areas of the hotel. We spent all week gazing out to sea, and it’s not anything we’ll forget anytime soon. The staff, the views, the whole experience, we would return. The only major caution we’d add is that you do need to have a reasonable level of walking ability to get around. There are a few lifts

We have just returned home after staying at the Miramare Resort and Spa, we highly recommend this hotel, all the staff were so helpful and courteous, especially reception 10/10 The hotel is situated between 2 beaches, 1 pebble beach just outside the hotel entrance and the other sandy beach is a short walk along the coast ( 5 minutes ), the beach is beautiful and the sea is crystal clear, if you are a a guest at the hotel the cost of 2 sun beds and parasol is 15€ ice cold water is free as well ( Maria who is responsible for the guests ) is a wonderful and a lovely lady, very funny. We stayed on a B&B basis which was lovely, so much choice for breakfast, the resort is a 20 minute walk from the hotel along the coastline, the main centre is a lovely with loads of restaurants, bars shops etc. We can’t wait to revisit soon

We have just come back from our holiday her, absolutely fantastic hotel, staff are lovely. Food is tasty and fresh with many choices, bed linen and towels are changed frequently. The views are stunning. It was a very relaxing stay and we will be coming back.
