" brilliant holiday! hotel in a great... "
Submitted By: Miss Jill Cronin
brilliant holiday! hotel in a great location right on the beach and one minutes walk from the center. nightlife is awsum would definatly recomend it to anyone under thirty! dont go here unless u like partying all night through till the mornin lol. the music at night is wicked, beware of how many free shots you drink though cos they wreck your stomach for the next night out and they can make u dangerously drunk before ya know it trust me ha! most workers here are fit brits and up for a laugh. hotel room was clean and tidy no bugs thank god! hotel owner was friendly. pool is nice and quiet so u can sleep ya hang over off in the day. ya hav to pay for sunbeds at the beach so we stayed at the pool instead. the road leading up to the main night life is fine in the day but gets really dark at night and as it is the road that leads to the beach i wouldnt risk walking it alone at night, stick together girls! food places are great some traditional greek and some british so you can enjoy a mix. all greek people we met were very friendly. fab place to go met some awsum people who made the holiday even better.

" Went from July 20th to August 3rd... "
Submitted By: Miss T Gwynne
Went from July 20th to August 3rd 2007 with all sorts of horrible thoughts in my head about the Apartment and Stelios and his family but on arrival found he was incredibly friendly and helpful. True he was out to get money on the air con but stand your ground and he gives up. For the two weeks we were there he was there whenever we needed him, this was mainly to get rid of things that had flown into our apartment, but also handy when locked out of your apartment!
Rooms were basic but you get everything you need, and the location is amazing. At night you can go on the roof and have a drink, (not that your suppose too), and watch the sun go down before going out partying, just one thing to be careful of, and that’s the dark alley up to the strip.
Overall a fab holiday, (I think I got a bonus though, that’s where I met my partner!) and would love to go back summer 2008, and would definitely stay at Mirimare again, ideal location and some fabulous memories of the place.

" I went Miramare last summer. There... "
Submitted By: Miss D Cooke
I went Miramare last summer. There were 6 of us. When we arrived we all paid 20 euros for the air con. We had two rooms - 4 in 1, 2 in another. The rooms were very spacious and the bath room was a good size. One of the rooms was looking over the pool, other was looking over beach.
The Miramare is backing onto Malibu beach which is fantastic!
To get from the night life back to Miramare we had to walk down an alley which had no lights! So be careful.
The only one thing we didn’t agree with is once we ran out off toilet roll they didn’t replace it, when we ask for more. The owner of the Miramare said we had to pay to have more!
Around the pool you are not allowed to take your own drinks, as we found out as we got our bottle water taken off us.
Overall the holiday was brilliant.

Submitted By: Miss L Northall
Despite getting this holiday for an absolute bargain and having an ace time this hotel really tries to rip you off! They try to charge you to breathe! lol! The shower was rubbish and you had to sit on the toilet to shower! lol! However Malia in itself is amazing and drinks are amazingly cheap! euro a drink! wahoo!
Beach is right next to this hotel, in fact its on your doorstep! However, again they also attempt to get as much money out of the English as possible. The beach has loads of activities such as windsurfing and banana boats etc.
Everyone was really friendly and we made loads of friends each night! defo recommend the Newcastle bar, its ace, cheap and fun! loads of offers from the PRs although annoying after your first night. Got bladdered every nite for about 20 euros.
Food was also really cheap and good quality, for those who can't eat anything but MacDonalds there is one on the strip, and a subway!
Ideal for groups or couples, best hol ever! Going back next year. Just be careful of the Miramare, ask for an apartment rather than a studio and also stand your ground with bartering!

" Stayed in Miramare for the last 2... "
Submitted By: Mr A Clark
Stayed in Miramare for the last 2 weeks in August. Best holiday me and the lads have had yet!
Stelios and the family who own the hotel were great, he sorted us A/C and Safe into one price per room and did us 4 drinks for the price of 3 at the pool bar.
Rooms were clean, tidy, basic but ideal for a wash sleep and change. A/C was needed as it was red hot every day.
Thanks to everyone at Miramare inc security who prevented any trouble or thieving on a night.
2 bad points one not really a major issue.
1. Loo roll was like gold dust
2. Malia strip at around 7am was just like a bombs dropped and stunk (so stay in bed till at least 3pm).
Other than that was a fantastic lads holiday. Wouldn't recommend to family's with small kids.

" Just got back from Malia staying in... "
Submitted By: Miss Z T
Just got back from Malia staying in Mira mare apt. Do not go here if you are over the age of say 23. Malia is full of drunken teenagers and I don’t think I came across any one over bout 23.
The apartments themselves are very basic and small although clean and are perfect for what everybody at Malia comes for.
It’s situated on the beach and has a small but clean pool with a beach and pool bar. There are always people outside the hotel on the beach drinking but are kept civilised by the security guard.
The nightlife is just a few minutes walk from the apartments and is a long strip of bars and clubs. 3 for 1 drinks free fish bowls and shots. These drinks are definitely not watered down and everywhere is open until the crack of dawn. The nightlife can’t really be heard from the apartments which was great as the strip is so noisy.
There are plenty of places to eat in the day the red lion an English pub is a must. Cheap and delicious
Do not get a quad they are so dangerous and drunken people riding up and down the strip at all hours. Once hired out, the Greek owners will steal them back then expect you to pay for them... I heard of this happening a few times.
A few tips, get a security box thing and do not leave your belongings anywhere. I left my digital camera in a my bag with money on a sun lounger for a second while I went for a dip in the sea and it was stolen.
Take loads insect repellent I was bitten badly.
Go on the Olympic holiday excursions... pub crawl... booze cruise and beach party, these were fantastic and had so much fun doing them.
We went in a group of 4 girls all aged 19 and against the odds of a few things happening (stolen belongings and stuff) we had a great time.
We went there for a fun packed drunken sun blaring holiday and that’s what we got.
Its what you make of it and we defiantly had a fantastic time.

" I'm 17 form Liverpool and I think... "
Submitted By: Miss S T Hayde
I'm 17 form Liverpool and I think these apartments are very nice, basic and clean. I went with all my friends, 10 of us altogether and 3 of us in one room for two weeks and we had a great time. It is right on the beach but the bad thing is you get sand everywhere in your apartment, but cleaners clean that up for you when they come. The people there are very nice and you get a good welcome.
Its down a long dark alley though so don't walk back on your own, but you don't get all the noise from the strip. The strip is really really good and the people out are very friendly.
It was my first holiday with the girlz and I couldn't have asked for a better holiday. You can't have people back in your apartment at night but we snuck our friends in all the time just don't let the security guard see you, you will get a 40 Euro fine per person.
I would recommend Miramare to anyone and I would go there again definitely!!

" These apartments are perfectly... "
Submitted By: Miss SE Bowran
These apartments are perfectly located smack bang on the beach. The rooms were lovely and spacious and very clean. We were lucky to have a room that overlooked the beach.
The pool area was lovely and also clean. There were plenty of sunbeds as most people went to the beach as it was so close. They actually built a bar around the pool area when we were there and although we didn't get to sample the drinks it looked good.
The beach bar serves all drinks and loads of good food at a reasonable price. Hello to Armando!!!
Stelios the owner and his family were fantastic and very approachable. They bent over backwards to make our holiday enjoyable. We had a small problem with a few cockroaches as we were on the ground floor and had a small hole at the side of our bathroom window where they were coming in.
On mentioning this to Stelios, he immediately sealed up the gap and laid poison down to ensure the problem went away. Which it did.
There is a security guard on site overnight to ensure that some guests do not ruin it for others. The apartments are located down a side road away from the busy town and it is quiet at night.
Overall this accommodation was fantastic and better than described on the website and in the brochure. However Malia its self was filthy dirty and full of drunken kids, if you are over 25 then this location is not for you.

" The Miramare is in a great location,... "
Submitted By: Miss G Woodward
The Miramare is in a great location, right on Malibu Beach, less than 5 minutes walk from the clubs and shops, and I had a really good time.
I went to Malia with three other girls; we were all 18 at the time. 95% of people staying at the apartments were under 24/25, obviously up for a fun holiday, it is Malia after all!
The apartments are what you'd expect for 2 star Greek standards; basic, cleanish...it could be better, its what you pay for really.
The pool was good though and the other staff were friendly, Yanis, who I think is some relation of Stelios is really funny.
The beach bar served an alright breakfast, you will need to give the pans n glasses in your room a good wash though before use, we ate out most nights.
There are loads of restaurants to choose from and there’s a McDonald’s and a Subway a quick stroll away just to remind you of home.
I would probably recommend the apartments based on their location, you will have as much fun as we did!

" Location of hotel was perfect, rooms... "
Submitted By: Miss H L Young
Location of hotel was perfect, rooms clean ect but Stelios the manager of the hotel was worst thing about the holiday. He let himself into rooms at night to check if you had guests in. He wouldn’t even let other guests staying at miramare into each others rooms checked our apartment before we left in the hope that he would find something broken and earn extra cash.
We were thrown out at midday and not allowed to keep our cases in our friends room and told if we wanted to shower and change before our flight we would have to use the one along beach. The hospitality here stinks and stelios really seems to have an unfair dislike of the English especially the youngsters. Be careful. Everything else about Malia was good and the other Greeks we encountered a lovely bunch of people.

The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing and at one pace. Everybody makes the effort to make you feel welcome....just what you need for your holidays!

" The location of Miramare is... "
Submitted By: Miss E Khoury
The location of Miramare is perfect...my balcony overlooked the gorgeous beach. Girls, be careful when walking back from the strip. Even though its a few minutes away, the road is unlit and very quiet, so take a cab, always!
The manager was a bit of a problem. I was charged 50 euro for having someone in my room for the night, so watch out. He'll try to make you pay fortunes for the air con and safe, so try to barter with him.
The rooms are a bit on the small side. I had a double to myself, and it was still a bit of a squeeze. The cleaner only came 3 times in the whole two weeks I was there, which meant there was always sand in your sheets.
On a better note though, the holiday was fantastic. The other guests in the hotel were wicked, and we all had the best girls holiday. Even with the moaning, I’d stay at Miramare again next year!
Enjoy!

Submitted By: Miss M Lawrence
I stayed in the Miramare in July 04 and due to the great location I chose to stay there again this year. I remembered the room as basic but that was all we needed. However this year I thought the room was terrible.
Our fridge didn't work! Warm water for a week! The room was filled with cockroaches, broken toilet seat & button on the shower. In fact nothing worked! Oh and there was a skeleton of a lizard on our balcony! & the cleaner took my towel.
So the room was rubbish & I’ll never stay there again, still had a great holiday though & met some wicked people. Hiya Tasos!
