Miramare Resort & Spa

Lovely hotel with great views. We went half board and were very pleased with the food and service. Rooms were very clean and lovely apart from small shower. Atmosphere was quiet and relaxed (April). Agios Nikolos was a beautiful town to potter around. We hired a car and would recommend day trips to: Spinalonga Island, Plaka, Sitia, Richtis Gorge, Cretan Olive Oil Farm Agios, Vassilakis Estate Free Olive tour, Krista and Ancient City of Lato.

Stayed last week at Miramare with my children. We mostly had a very positive experience. The resort was lovely and had amazing sea views throughout. The pools were always very clean. The pool cleaner works hard! Unfortunately the toilet by the Aegeon pool wasn't cleaned during the day. So by the afternoons it had used toilet paper all over the floor. We were all inclusive and the food was excellent. One night I had a whole seabass straight off the grill! Lots of salads, fruit and hot foods to choose from. I'm pescatarian and my eldest daughter is vegetarian and we always managed to find something to eat. The only down side is the labelling of food wasn't very good and it was a bit of Russian roulette if we were going to accidentally eat meat!! Breakfast had so much variety to choose from. We were originally placed in a sea view room directly under the bar. The view was lovely but unfortunately the DJ music blasted through our room and my youngest daughter was upset because she was so tired and couldn't sleep and my older autistic daughter was overwhelmed. I spoke to the receptionist who just shrugged her shoulders at me and told me to come back in the morning. We were very upset by the lack of sympathy and customer service. I not sure why the hotel would put a young child in a room directly under a DJ! The next morning however, we spoke to the loveliest receptionist who not only moved us to a quiet room, but upgraded us to a suite with a pool. The room was so lovely and I can't tha nk that lovely receptionist enough. She saved our holiday! We had rain and storms so decided to pay to use the indoor pool one morning. Unfortunately it wasn't heated and was absolutely freezing which was a shame. It would have been nice of the pool was heated. The children's club was awful! The playground had broken equipment and the club was dirty and filled with broken toys. It looked like it had been left neglected! Very disappointed! This is car hire at the hotel which is very handy for exploring the island. The walk into town was only 20 mins and easy enough. There is a beautiful sandy beach next to the hotel and we found a beautiful cove.
