Domes Miramare, a Luxury Collection Resort, Corfu

We are in the unfortunate position to make this comment while me and my wife stayed at domes Mira Mare hotel. Initially everything was perfect and the hotel was one of the best that we had visited. Furthermore the staff were very kind and helpful. Unfortunately the bad experience for us started when we asked from a mister at the reception to arrange our transfer for us as we decide to visit Corfu old town. While we were waiting for our transportation we recognized that our vehicle was a conventional white Opel, for a moment we were surprised as we waiting for a higher quality vehicle. To continue with the above, our driver was a kind lady but not professional at all. She went out of the car to welcome us with an e-cigarette at her hands. The vehicle was little dirty and the seats we sat on had white spots. During the transportation the driver had an unprofessional attitude while she used the brakes of the car unexpectedly many times with a result to make us feel nervous and little scared. Finally we arrived in the old town and she asked us if we prefer her to return us back to the hotel. We never call again we just found another transportation. Lastly, I would like to say that me and my wife we have been guests of many luxury hotels, but this service with such low quality vehicles was the first time we have faced it, we can’t believe that a hotel like that cooperates with a low quality vehicles like that. In conclusion, this one star review supported by the trust that me and my wife we gave to the hotel and the staff to organize our transportations.

We came to this hotel with our adult children and we had an excellent stay. The grounds are beautiful and both pools and the beach were great places to spend the day. The top pool has chilled music playing and the waitress is super friendly. All the staff in the hotel are very friendly and helpful. The brefast was excellent with plenty of choice. I am a vegetarian and there were lots of fresh vegetables, eggs and pasties. We only had one other meal in the hotel at the Asian restaurant which was delicious. My daughter said the sushi was excellent. For the rest of our meals we chose to walk to the village or along the sea front where there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. We went to Corfu town, once by cab which was expensive and once by bus which was easy and cost effective. We also did a boat trip to the blue lagoon which was organised through the hotel which I would recommend. We had a very relaxing holiday here.

Just returned from a fabulous week. The hotel is amazing. Beautiful. We stayed in a bungalow with a jacuzzi. Very private. The room was looked after daily by ladies who were cheerful and couldn’t do enough for us. A real treat. We went to all three restaurants the food was fantastic. The staff everywhere were a breath of fresh air. Cheerful and couldn’t do enough. Our last night was spent at the barbecue night. A great end to a special holiday. Thankyou

Unbelievably beautiful hotel. The entrance and lobby smells absolutely incredible. The staff on arrival are a delight and check in was so easy and simple. Breakfast is probably one of the best I’ve ever been to - everything you could wish for. I preferred going earlier (before 9am) when it’s quietest. There is a small supermarket less than 5 minutes walk away and then a small village with a handful of restaurants and bigger supermarkets about a 10 minute walk away up hill. There are also some lovely beachfront restaurants maybe 5 minutes along (Caldera lounge was particularly great) We had dinner in all 3 of the restaurants, the food in all of them was absolutely sublime. Service was a bit slow in Raw but we are on holiday with no rush to be anywhere so it was not a problem in anyway. There was ample parking for our hire car, and we went out exploring most days - staff at the front of the hotel always extra friendly and making recommendations to us. We were recommended Archontiko restaurant which is maybe a 10minute drive away, it has phenomenal views and a delicious menu - was our favourite meal of the trip. Our room was directly by the pool near the beach which is probably the best location we could have asked for. We preferred the pool nearer the beach as it felt cooler. We also loved watching the sunrise on many mornings. The room was very well air conditioned, beautifully decorated and the bed was ginormous and comfortable. The beach is a pebble beach but this didn’t impact us (it’s actually quite nice not to be covered in sand!) and the water is so clear. All staff were 10/10. Our room was cleaned perfectly every day and we were fully stocked with plenty of water. They allowed us a late checkout which was lovely and enabled us to relax on our last day. We also used the spa and had lovely massages - we also got exclusive use of the facilities beforehand which was such a treat! Highly recommend if you want a few hours out of the sun.

This is a lovely hotel with friendly staff and enjoyable food. The hotel and rooms are well appointed, and there certainly is a luxury feel to the hotel. Dinner in the main restaurant was good. Couple of negative things to say, the AC in the rooms are fixed at 23 degrees and cannot be overridden by you. Also, they turn off on a timer through the day and night, so if you don’t like a room to be warm through the night you’ll find yourself being woken by this and having to turn it back on. You can ask for the temperature to be reduced, which I did so twice, but neither time did it happen. On checkout they say it’s ’for the environment’, but in reality we all know it’s to save money, which is not what I’d expect from this grade of hotel given the nightly rates being charged. Regards the sun loungers round the pool and beach, sadly it’s the typical mentality that people get up at the crack of dawn and ‘reserve’ them by placing towels and personal items on them, with no intention of using them until later in the day, if at all. This kind of thing should not be happening and there was no sign of staff monitoring this. Around the pool and beach there was little to no staff either helping with loungers and towels or providing proactive service for drinks or food. So getting anything promptly was a little tricky. When you did interact with staff, they were however very nice and happy to help. Regards the location, there is little to nothing surrounding the hotel, except for a nice little taverna and small supermarket in the adjacent village (5 min walk max).
