Santo Miramare Resort

Santo Miramare Resort is a beautifully presented hotel with clean, modern facilities and a welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are comfortable, and well maintained, with wonderful views of the pool and the sea. The resort grounds are lovely, with several pools surrounded by beautiful palm trees and well-kept shrubs, creating a relaxing and peaceful setting. The staff work incredibly hard to make guests feel welcome and looked after. A special mention must go to Edmond, Denae and Sabrina who were outstanding — they were friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. A couple of small recommendations that would make an already great resort even better would be to have one pool designated as adults-only for those seeking a quieter area, and to provide tea and coffee-making facilities in the rooms. Overall, a wonderful resort with excellent staff, beautiful surroundings, and a very comfortable stay. Highly recommended

Admittedly, I am always somewhat apprehensive when booking a hotel, and as someone who naturally gravitates towards reading the lowest rated reviews, I arrived at Santo Miramare with a few reservations. However, I was pleasantly surprised, to the extent that I felt compelled to write a review! From the moment we arrived, we were met with a very friendly welcome. A member of staff (whose name I unfortunately did not catch) insisted on carrying our luggage as he guided us to our rooms, with no pressure to tip. Stepping out of reception, the resort immediately appeared very impressive, with multiple swimming pools and a great pool-side bar. This strong first impression was later confirmed when compared to other hotels along Perivolos Beach. The rooms are indeed somewhat basic, but they did the job, and I do agree with a previous reviewer that a complimentary bottle of water in the fridge would be a welcome addition. Throughout our stay, we were greeted every morning by a very friendly room attendant, who kept our rooms spotless (I did not catch her name, but she looked after rooms 120 & 121). The resort was also very attentive to cleanliness overall, with staff regularly sweeping up fallen leaves and keeping the grounds tidy. As is common in many resorts, some guests do reserve sun loungers in the morning with towels, especially those in shaded areas/with parasols. Despite this, we never struggled to find available loungers during our stay. The pool-side bar is great, with good food/drinks and friendly bar staff. Those circulating the pools with menus could be a little more engaging - perhaps asking guests if they would like a drink or menu - but being able to order food straight to your sun lounger is definitely a bonus. Also, the black-sand beach is only a short walk away, with plenty of loungers available. It was very easy to explore the rest of the island - booking a taxi through reception was seamless. The taxi firm also provides a card for pick-up, and you only need to send a text about thirty minutes before your required pick-up time. With regard to food, we were half‑board, and I would disagree with previous reviews that the meals were repetitive. There was a clear effort to avoid repetition in the evening dishes and to include some Greek cuisine, which was great. Breakfast is naturally more repetitive, but there was still some variation in the items offered. Overall, Santo Miramare exceeded my expectations. The friendly staff, clean grounds, great pools, and relaxed atmosphere made for a very enjoyable stay. I would definitely recommend Santo Miramare and would happily return if visiting Santorini in the future!

Very welcoming and clean facility, extremely friendly and professional staff, top-notch beach and pool service We stayed for a couple of days but will definitely return.
