Mirage Bleu

See hotel Magique. Only the rooms and are independant. The pool and bar are shared with Magique Suites and Mer Bleu beach hotel. The guests at this hotel have to go to Magique for the main restuarant and reception.

We had a wonderful stay at Mirage Bleu. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was rich, varied and offered plenty of choices.

The owner was kind and helpful, and made sure we could remain in the same rooms when we needed to arrange additional rooms. We really appreciated the excellent service and warm hospitality.

We would gladly recommend Mirage Bleu and are already looking forward to returning next year!

My husband, adult son and I stayed at Mirage Bleu for a week from 7th September and had an good holiday.

The hotel has a relaxing and calm vibe. Tragaki is a quiet location, but the hotel is close to shops, tavernas and a small but beautiful sandy beach. There is a bus stop nearby so travel to both Zakynthos town and Tsilivi are easy.

We stayed in rooms 446 and 447 which were at the far end of resort and on the 2nd floor. This wasn't an issue for us, as only a 5 minutes walk to get to Reception, the restaurant, pool and bars. (We were taken to our rooms in a buggy on our arrival, which was very welcome with luggage)

The rooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable. WiFi was good. Air conditioning and ceiling fans kept the rooms cool. The balcony was large, with 2 deck chairs and a little table. Housekeeping kept the rooms clean and pleasant. (Although we were rather surprised to notice there was a considerable amount of dust under the bed and some on the shelves, so perhaps after guest deep cleans could be more thorough).

All staff were great. The Reception team were helpful and knowledgeable. Waiting and bars staff were friendly and hard working, a particular thank you to Florianna at the pool bar. Housekeeping team were pleasant and polite.

There are multiple pools around the resort (although some are private for specific rooms types, swim ups etc), we enjoyed relaxing at the main pool and always found sunbeds available. Pool towels can be hired for a 10 Euros deposit each.

The snack bar was great for lunch options, we particularly enjoyed the delicious club sandwiches and toasties, which were made to order - thank you Marios!

Unfortunately, the restaurant and buffet were a little disappointing. Unusually the buffet area is downstairs but the restaurant upstairs, which is not ideal, as food must be carried up a flight of stairs with no handrail and this is somewhat of a safety risk. The views from the restaurant are stunning, but it could sometimes feel very hot up there. The food was often lukewarm, and the buffet choices were rather limited. There were no gluten free options, limited vegetarian choices and the majority of desserts were dairy based, which would be limiting for those with dietary issues. There were attempts to vary the dinner food choices with theme nights, including Greek, Italian, French and Chinese, but nothing offered was fine dining. At breakfast, food often ran out and the chefs seemed frustrated when asked if items could be replenished (bread, yogurt, fruit etc).

There were limited public toilets in resort and these were down yet another flight of stairs in basement at both the restaurant/reception block and pool bar area.

The all inclusive drinks selection was good, we enjoyed the wine, beer and cocktails. There were surprisingly only 2 bars in the resort (at the snack bar and main pool) and both closed at 11pm. Entertainment was minimal, which was a shame.

From a guest perspective, it rather confusing to describe the resort as having 4 hotels, Mirage Bleu, Mythique Bleu, Magique Bleu and Mer Bleu, as there is no clear definition between them and the facilities are shared.

The building by pool bar seemed rather wasted, it seemed hardly used - it included another Reception (often unmanned), a burger restaurant (which we never saw open) and an upstairs area used just once during the week for Greek night. Also, we saw there was a gym but the equipment incredibly limited.

All in all, however, despite these issues, we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday at the Mirage Bleu.
