Miramare Sea Resort & Spa

We had the most wonderful stay at the Miramare. The staff were all lovely and our room was beautiful - we said it was more seafront than sea view! We loved it. The buggy service to the nearby thermal park and pools was a great value add. We’ll be back!

I would never stay at this hotel again. The pictures online are incredibly misleading. What I saw in person looked nothing like the photos. There are two hotels called Miramare in Ischia, and I had to make sure I was reviewing the correct one. First of all, I will say, the amenities they have- the thermal baths and private beach are amazing. BUT you have to take a motorized cart to get there, which is a hassle. (You can walk, but it’s very far and when it’s hot, you probably won’t want to do that.) Also, their complimentary breakfast is fantastic. But those were the only two good things about this hotel. Second, you can’t be dropped off by car right at the hotel. You will be dropped off at a location that’s a few minutes away, walking distance. That was annoying. So, if you want to stay here, be prepared to walk. A lot. (Or take a cart, but apparently they charge you a lot for each way.) Also, in the hotel, the elevators are weird and not sure where they go, so we had to take the stairs to and from our room every time. I personally didn’t mind that, but if you’re out of shape and/ or don’t like walking, don’t stay here. Third, the hotel room was incredibly small and the bathroom was super tiny. And the water temperature seemed to have a mind of its own. I couldn’t even get the shower water warm, let alone hot, despite trying everything. Last, but certainly not least, there were tiny ANTS all over our hotel room floor. See the photos I will attach. Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. I have read other reviews, and they say the staff wasn’t the friendliest. I wouldn’t disagree with those reviews, but I took way more of an issue with the other negative aspects of the hotel. Particularly the location of the hotel, and the *ants*. But, Ischia overall is so beautiful and has so much to offer. I would very highly recommend visiting here, but stay at a different hotel. Unless you don’t mind the things I complained about in this review. All in all, I would NEVER stay here again, and I would never recommend this hotel to anyone I know. Their amenities ARE fabulous, but all the other downfalls don’t make up for any of the positives.

Beautiful setting, but overpriced and not guest-friendly The hotel has a fantastic location, but everything else feels set up to overcharge you. Staff were generally disengaged, and service was slow. We were charged €15 for a 500-meter electric buggy ride, and there’s a €10 fee for room service. Even basic things like complimentary water weren’t provided. Two Caesar salads and a couple of drinks cost over €100 — the food was just average. Feels more like a cash trap than a true luxury experience.
