We stayed half board in a Grand Opal room set in the newer part of the hotel. Our room was enormous with magnificent views across the sea to Albania. A highlight of the room was the bathroom with super powerful showers, pleasant toiletries and a delightful sunken bath from which there was a dreamy view out to sea. The hotel is tastefully decorated and kept immaculate inside and out. A stroll to the Haute Living area is very enjoyable, taking you through pretty garden areas with fragrant plants and blooms. We never used the Panoramic pool area because it always looked busy. We take as we find and we could not fault the staff, they are calm and attentive without being in your face or over the top. A Special mention must go to the ladies in the Haute Living area who are just fantastic and went out of their way to ensure our stay was excellent. We recommend booking the hotel's evening shuttle service to Corfu town where you can enjoy the hustle and bustle of this cosmopolitan town and idle away for a few hours over a delicious Corfiat meal. We dined at 3 of the hotel restaurants, 1962, Makris fine dining and Antonino's, the latter was the best however food standards and service were good on all of our visits. The sea at this side of Corfu is calmer and warmer, it was simply delightful. There is a pebbly beach (take your sea shoes) but access to the sea is also via gentle steps that run the entire length of the hotel. If you enjoy peace and quiet away from lots of people make the most of the sea and pool area set in the Haute Living facilities. We had a wonderfully relaxing holiday at Miramare and expect to return in the near future.
