Miramare Sea Resort & Spa

We love this part of Ischia as it is still a bit secluded from the rest of the island. Our stay was amazing from the beginning from the end. The breakfast is ready from 07:00 in the morning on a beautiful terrace overlooking the sea. The choices you have are wide with a lot of fresh ingredients. The cakes are amazing, all made by the chef and not factory made. Good variety of cheese, hams, salami and mozzarella. Fresh fruits also available. The staff is very helpful. A special praise to Vito, our maître who took care of us in a very pleasant way. Very professional, a very good business card for the hotel as he knows his jobs very well. We did choose half board and not disappointed at all. The menu does include a choice of 6 starters, 6 mains and 6 desserts. If you stay few days you will not eat the same thing again. Dishes were nicely presented. Our bedroom had a colourful majolica tiles which did remind us a Italy that has nearly disappeared but always dreamed of. The terrace is spacious and ideal in the evening for a drink pre or after dinner. Beautiful!

Warning not a 5 star hotel My husband and I were eagerly looking forward to an unforgettable experience as we celebrated our 22nd anniversary at what was purported to be a 5-star resort. However, our excitement turned to disappointment as we encountered several issues that did not meet our expectations of a 5-star resort in terms of luxury, sophistication, and service. The hotel did not provide a shuttle service from the ferry port, so we paid 65 euros for a taxi to cover the 25-30-minute journey. Upon reaching the town entrance, we were surprised to find out that cars were not allowed, and we had to pay an extra 20 euros for a golf cart ride to the hotel because of this restriction and four pieces of luggage, we had no choice but to opt for the golf cart ride. This was unexpected and frustrating and added to our initial disappointment. Upon arrival, we were further disappointed by the lack of a complimentary drink or cocktail and the rushed, impersonal check-in process. Considering the high cost of our room, which was well over $1200 per night, we felt misled by the five-star rating and let down by the overall experience. Our deluxe oceanfront room, which we were told was one of the best in the hotel, did not meet 5-star expectations. The furnishings were lackluster and uninspiring Ikea-like furniture, the concrete floors felt sterile, and the lack of artwork made the room feel ordinary. Despite the stunning ocean view, the balcony and terrace did not provide the seclusion and comfort we had hoped.

Amazing This hotel is amazing!! We were there on our honeymoon and everything was perfect.
