Santo Miramare Beach Resort

This is a beautiful, fairly new resort. It is on the far side (Southeast) of the island of Santorini, away from the hordes of tourists and gift shops in Oia and Thira. Spend a half-day touring Oia and Thira, then come here to escape the crowds, relax, and swim for the rest of your visit. The room was spacious with a small balcony overlooking the courtyard and pool, and a view of the nearby ocean. It's a 3-4 minute walk to reach the beach, which is immediately adjacent to the resort. There are several pools, but the ocean here is beautiful. The bathroom was large with a really nice shower. The tap water on Santorini is non-potable, but large bottles of water were available at the nearby (5 minute walk) mini-mart for 1 Euro per 1.5 liter. We needed about a bottle/day. The mini-mart also has a nice selection of sunscreens, as well as other sundries. The reception staff at the resort were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The buffet breakfast was varied and excellent. The resort offers a buffet dinner as well, but we preferred to eat (for about the same price) at the row of nearby restaurants along the beachfront. These are only a 2 minute walk from the resort. At the restaurants we had delicious meals of grilled fish and seafood, grilled souvlaki, grilled lamb, traditional Greek salads, and inexpensive Greek wines. The waiters were gracious, friendly, and spoke multiple languages. The resort also offers light fare from the pool bar during the day, and will take and deliver orders to you right on the beach. Christina, who serves the beach area, was gracious and friendly!

Great atmosphere. Really enjoyed the time spent by the pool and relaxing. Sun loungers were super comfy. Great balcony and view. Very clean. I loved that the resort was private and closed off as it meant we didn’t have random people trying to sell us stuff on the beach like other European places! Would love to return

Everything was great. Staff was great. Breakfast was very good, but some more fruits would be great. Parking along local street, but there was no problem. Beach with umbrellas and sunbeds free for hotel guests. Overall hotel very nice and clean. Need for car to move around the island.

The staff was amazing from the receptionists to the waiters. Quality services and clean rooms. Privat beach with umbrellas and sun beds free for hotel guest. We asked for late check out and it was offered. Breakfast should be improved and more varied. The iced latte and natural juices at the beach bar should be improved.

Our stay at Miramare was great, we had a beautiful and relaxing holiday. The resort is very well designed, beautiful mediteranean style, quality, timeless, having authentic and tasteful materials, with great pool, bar and restaurant and beautiful palm trees and mediteranean plants. Everything was calm, peaceful and relaxing. The room was very nice, clean, spatious enough, daily cleaned. The bed and pillows were confortable, the air conditioner was working well, good air, the view was really nice and relaxing. We had 2 meals: breakfast and dinner, both were very good, various and tasteful, couldn't want more; especially the dinner food was excellent, so many delicious and fine prepared dishes, some of them were greek dishes which we liked so much! The resort has a beautiful private beach which is in front of the resort, with nice sunbeds and umbrellas. It was my favourite, it is the nicest and relaxing beach, airy, not crowded, with beautiful fine black sand. The staff was pleasant, proficient, friendly and helpful. We received a bonus on our stay, exceeding our expectations. We had a beautiful good memory holiday!
