Hotel Miramar?

[alathays]

One tip I would give for anyone looking for a "good" room in the Miramar, especially at peak times, is to give the Travel Club of Upminister a ring - I had run out of options after the Globespan collapse and could not book a sea view room directly yet Upminster had no problem securing exactly what I wanted. They obviously have priority and were very professional - no complaints at all from this end!

Surely somebody has stayed at the Miramar and actually liked it! I need someone to tell me how good it is.

We have stayed at the Mirimar although it was several years ago. Nice rooms although rather small and very small balcony. If you want a room with sea view very expensive. Lots of older ladies and gents use this hotel. Don't think I would stay again although found it very pleasant. Have stayed at Bahia,nice to have breakfast on the beach but rooms a bit basic and bathroom we had minute. Nice staff. That said enjoyed the location very much.
I would choose somewhere else to stay and go to Mirimar for drinks which is lovely. Waiters are a bit grumpy but seem to be under pressure to cover lots of tables. Apartment in Gommar this September this year.

Secondly the staff were terrific, made all my party feel welcome, played jokes with my 11 year old son and gave us plenty of attention. Fantastic and we will definately be back.

That is good to hear and thank you, I'm about to be staying there for two weeks soon so will report back in due course. I like good food also and don't/won't put up with bad manners from any staff.

If you like good food at reasonable prices then try "Na Ruixa", around the corner from the Sis Pins. Good choice of Spanish and Majorcan dishes. I'll certainly be paying it another visit this September. If the weather's a bit off then you can eat indoors but be aware that they permit smoking which can be a bit of a pain.

PS - The Miramar give a discount to residents but only if you agree to eat there all week, which is a shame. The Sis Pins offers a set price meal for residents (including wine) regardless of length of stay.

Just back from two weeks at the Miramar. I have posted on this thread already so will keep it very short. It was, as always, an excellent stay, with the staff always going "above and beyond", making us feel very welcome and the place exuding its normal charm by the bucketload.

Not the cheapest hotel but I feel you get what you pay for. The Daina and the Sis Pins are very nice hotels (have been to both) but they simply dont have the charm.

PS my son (11) stayed there with my ex wife about 6 weeks ago. He accumulated a fishing rod and net, some bats and balls, a bucket and a boggie board. The hotel staff, realising that he was due to come back with me, offered to store all of his stuff in their garage (for free) - brilliant!

Can you eat at Sis Pins if you are not resident?

Honestly the Miramar is fabulous! we have stayed there several times and it is so clean and comfortable. Our only (small) quibbles are; charge for fridge in room and no beach towel hire (means we have to buy one when we arrive if travelling light i.e. Ryanair, Easyjet). We also stayed several times at Sis Pins which was great but perhaps all different now?
