Grand Hotel Miramare

This is a truly grand hotel in every way, the setting, the design, the food, the service, the gardens, and the view. We booked a suite and loved it. The hotel is maintained to perfection with everything in superb condition. The breakfast whether inside or on the terrace is wonderful with great service. The pool is magnificent. The sea is steps away. The live piano music at night in the bar area and the ambience is so inviting. We really could not love this place more. Such a special building too in this lovely village of Santa Margarita. For our first night we walked to Bistro Altro Eden 4 minute walk away based on hotel recommendation. Simple setting on the lovely marina but the food is INCREDIBLE. The pasta is so good we returned a second time before we left because we had to have it again. But even on one rainy night we ordered room service and that was also fantastic. Fully recommend this beautiful hotel.

From the moment you arrive at this beautiful hotel you are well looked after. All the staff tried their best to make you feel relaxed in these times of Covid. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. Really impressed with the breakfast, which is served in a lovely way, and was possibly better than a buffet. Dinner on the terrace was very enjoyable. Beautiful gardens with a lovely swimming pool. Will definitely return.

We stayed here at the tail end of August/beginning of September. The Hotel has a fantastic pool, a great beach club and largely great staff. A special 'shout out' to the chamber maids who happily co- ordinated the movements of our dog with when they could clean our room. Breakfast is included and is broad in it's contents. Unfortunately the major draw back of staying at this hotel during the height of the season is the 'policy' with regards to the beach club across the road that the hotel owns and advertises as a facility of the Hotel; so one would assume can be used by guests. Think again, during the season; June until the end of September more than 90% of the beds at the beach club are rented out to non residents for 4000 euros each. What this equates to is that upon arrival at the hotel you, as a guest may, or most likely not, will not be able to secure a bed/beds at the beach club. When we stayed there were 26 pairs of beds to facilitate the needs of the entire hotel. They say that beds are allocated on a 'first come, first served' basis but do not make it clear that from the outset most of the beds have already been reserved by non-residents. If the owners actually prioritised the needs of paying guests above collecting income from people who have holiday homes in the area this hotel would be fantastic. As an aside spending 3/4 days at the hotel costs more than the 4000 euros that securing a bed for the season generate from non-residents! I have to add that the Imperial Palace, Hotel Metropole etc do not operate this policy and all guests are guaranteed beds at their beach clubs.
