We've just got back, and had a really nice week at this hotel.
The staff were friendly and helpful, and the hotel itself was kept very clean.
We stayed in the hotel complex which is quite new and modern, although there are also bungalows which looked a bit older.
The food was excellent, but the all inclusive drinks were quite limited, and there was usually a queue at the bar (very rarely more than one person working each bar, and paying customers seemed to get priority).
The pool at the hotel complex was a decent size and well maintained, but there were far too few sunloungers for the amount of guests - we had to get up at 8 to get a sunlounger. This problem seemed to be caused by other guests getting up early (or perhaps the previous night) to 'claim' the sunloungers with their towels, and very often they wouldn't even turn up until late afternoon, if ever (I was quite tempted to throw their towels in the pool myself after seeing the 17th family that day walking around the poolside looking for a couple of sunloungers and a parasol to get their kids out of the sun for a bit, only to be turned away by the rows of empty sunloungers with a towel draped across them).
I couldn't recommend the hotel to anybody who isn't quick on their feet, due to the hotel being across a busy road from the restaurant etc. Although the road isn't too wide, the hotel's situated on the bend of the road, so you can't see if there are any cars coming, and quite often we had to jog across.
I would go back to the hotel, but only if I didn't have to through Corfu Airport - frankly there aren't many resorts or hotels that are worth that kind of hassle!

Just got back and had an excellent value for money 1 week break.
Hotel was spotlessly clean, beds comfy and air conditioned rooms were wonderful.
Management and reception staff were very helpful but the bar and restaurant staff would benefit from some customer services training.
The food was of good quality and there was plenty of variety. Although the restaurant was busy at peak periods it was very well organised and a clean table was always available. The all-inclusive package included a wide variety of drinks which was pleasing because from reading other reviews only beer, ouzo, brandy and wine were previously available.

Miramare Beach Hotel. We arrived to find a spectacular looking hotel, very clean and modern.
Quickly found that we had to cross a fast road daily to get to the restaurant and beach area which is not ideal with two small children lilos, beach towels.
Hotel food okay but bland. Drinks for all inclusive are not good. Only beer or red & white wine available in restaurant, the wine for all inclusive was not drinkable so we had to pay extra for a decent bottle of wine. Not allowed to get drinks from restaurant bar. Served shorts in bars but not the mixers e.g.gin and no tonic. Bar closes to all inclusive at 11pm when the evening disco starts. Poor service from bar staff unless you were buying the wine then the service dramatically improved. The excuse one of the staff gave was that 'the English drink all day' which we certainly did not only soft drinks.
Queueing at bar area. Only main restaurant available on all inclusive, to eat in taverna you have to pay extra and they only served at lunch time. BBQ only happens once a week. There was no terrace restaurant. Ice creams were limited to hours between 4pm & 5pm.
Rooms very clean and spacious but was appalled that my 4 & 5 year old to be sleeping in bunk beds, they had to top and tail for 2 weeks, plus the bunks a foot away from the bottom of my bed.
Animation team are a good bunch, kept the kids entertained, kids club great, but the animation shows are not professional but they kept us thoroughly entertained.

I would rate the Hotel AA a reasonable 4 Star - tops, it would never make a 5 Star Hotel in it's present condition and managed environment.
Restaurant was right on the Beach front and was worth a Kings ransom just to view the view, the main road [M4]to be avoided after drinking was shown on the Hotel layup in the foyer as having a bridge!?! Nobody ever explained what happened to the Bridge? Perhaps a large Truck?
The rooms were clean with accomodating chambermaids and the Hotel generally clean throughout, Bedroom Air Con was instant but you had to be deaf to sleap with it on, so the choice - stay hot and sweaty or stay awake listening to the engines of a 747.
The Food for the first couple of days seemed great, be it all tepid and warm, but after the fourth day it soon became obvious that we would be eating the same food over and over again - on a loop! Lucky we are here for only seven days!
Choice of Drinks poor, one choice of beer, with local spirits made by the local School children and supporting 1.5% by volume. Bar staff limited to one per Bar and full of ..... - "what you want" attitude.
Bottom line here, we paid

We thouroughly enjoyed this hotel, infact coming home was dissapointing. After reading some reviews before we left we didn't want to go but once there we realised we shouldn't judge because we were amazed.
The animation team were excellent and kept you occupied throughout your stay involving you in all the activities. At first we stayed around the bigger pool after realising the beach was all stones with no sand but we tried it one day and ended up staying there for the rest of our holiday. Infact there was no entertainment round the bigger pool in the main hotel but that wasn't a big problem because the beach was lovely and it was very hot!
Your room was kept clean with new bed linen and towels. If you do wish for a double bed make sure you ask for one before you go to your rooms after arriving. You do have to cross a road but it isn't busy!
In the evening you will find excellent entertainment upstairs above the dining room and a disco at 11 downstairs. Recommend a car so you can travel up in the mountains and you will find lovely sandy beaches especially in Sidari where the sea is lovely and you can go into caves either on a boat or a pedlo.
Have a nice time we really recommend it, wish we were back!

Hotel was very clean and perfectly located. Ideal for families with young children, easy access to narrow shingle beach (used only by hotel guests).
Only small problem - we were in the new part of the hotel on the opposite side of the road (not too busy) - but not safe for the young to cross alone.
Room was spacious with twin beds and bunks for kids - great views from balcony. Bungalows near beach looked nice - beautiful grounds.
Food - excellent, lots of variety and choice, all well presented. Dining area/restaurant can get a bit busy and can be difficult to find a good table overlooking the beach.
Entertainment Team were great - we expeciallly enjoyed the shows at night.
Bar Staff could be a liitle happier in their work and smile once or twice. Usual limited selection of drinks on AI deal.

We booked a really cheap deal on teletext to the hotel.
Having read all the reports on different sites, to say that we were apprehensive is an understatement. But there wasn't anything else to change to so we decided to try it.
How wrong we were! At the airport we were met by a very friendly rep from the tour company who organised our transport to the hotel. We were out of the airport in 5 minutes after collecting our stuff.
The hotel has 2 blocks (old and new) and we were given keys to the new building which was very nice (not luxurious) and pleasant. The pool area was simply divine and lots of sunloungers always free.
The food was varied and of very good quality as well as with lots of quantity.
Entertainment is of usual hotel standards with a magic show thrown in which was brilliant.
The resort of Moriatika is definitely pleasant especially at night with all the shops, restaurants nad bars having a good atmosphere.
Sunstar did have a rep at the hotel who was very friendly and she booked 2 trips for us. The one to definitely try is the Greek night out which is at this amazing taverna in a village in the middle of nowhere. We wanted something different one night and this was definitely it!!! For the first time in my life I danced on the table just like the Greeks do.
The only downside is the long hard slog of waiting to check in at the airport when you leave Corfu, but then again it's just one of those things.
Will be back next year I hope.

We arrived at the hotel in the early hours of the morning and after a long flight we then had to carry our suitcases to the top of a long slope to our room in the newer part of the hotel no help offered.
The room was basic but obviously new and did have a lovely view. We were glad we weren

On first appearance the hotel looked nice, we stayed in the new part and the rooms were excellent and so were the views. Unfortunately this is the only nice thing we found about this hotel.
The pool area was lovely but you had to battle with wasps everyday for your drink! There were lots of people with stings as they were just everywhere.
The entertainment team went home a couple of days after we arrived which left the only entertainment provided by the hotel being a TV! There wasn't a beach just a coast line which resulted in two very disappointed children.
There seemed to be only one member of staff working on the bar with a smile and she did an excellent job.
The All Inclusive was almost non existant, the only drink available being soft drinks, beer, wine (which was pretty undrinkable), ouzo and brandy. There were rarely any ice creams for the children and the 'snacks' (which was actually cake or peanuts) ran out about 3 days before we come home.
We found very little variety in the food, although it was OK. There were stray cats and dogs wondering around IN the restaurant the entire time which the waiters did nothing about. We were disgusted about this and complained several times to no avail.
We were also told that by some peope that were in the old part that the dogs and cats were regular visitors to their rooms!
There was a standing joke at the hotel between the guests that Miramare actually meant 'there wasn't any'! We paid a lot of money for this holiday and was extremely disappointed, we will not be going to this hotel again.
