The Grand Miramar is a beautiful hotel nestled in the quiet hills of Conchas Chinas. The daily breakfast was great, with a variety of both freshly prepared hot dishes and fresh fruit, juices and coffee. The concierge was very helpful, handling all of our questions and requests promptly. We enjoyed an afternoon at the spa, with lovely massage therapists and a relaxing sauna. The women’s steam room was not working, which was a bummer. My husband utilized the gym, so that was convenient. The location is beautiful and quiet, with expansive balcony views and beautiful sunsets.
The reason I’m rating 4/5 is as follows.
The service and food our first evening was not very good, but we felt the breakfast mostly made up for the lackluster evening experience. The pool service could use improvement, employees are not attentive in that area.
The hot tub was more like a lukewarm bath and the pool was cold..and I know, the weather is typically hot..but the week we were there it was only 70F with a decent breeze, so a warmer hot tub would have been great. The option to adjust the temperature would have been wonderful.
And lastly, this was a sleepy hotel on a sleepy hill. The hills are cobblestone which make for a very bumpy (albeit inexpensive) taxi to and from town, with no nightlife or food options within the immediate area. And truth be told, the facilities are not great enough to want to stay solely at the hotel. Now that I know this, I would prefer to stay closer to town.
