The 70 welcoming units offer a perfect place to relax at the end of the day. Mirage Bleu was constructed in 2023.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Okay so probably not the best day to write a review as we have been plagued by false fire alarms going off. However it should be known that this is not a disabled friendly hotel, stairs and steps absolutely everywhere and no hand rails! Whilst there are ramps to some areas, getting to the outside bar, restaurants and pool areas requires considerable effort and determination. The restaurant in particular is a concern despite having a lift but who would have expected to do downstairs from a dining area whether via lift or stairs would require planning! The steps are lethal if food is spilt and with no handrails and a blind corner you risk being taken out by someone more able bodied. The lift to negotiate with a stick or walker and a plate of food- well you can imagine. The sun loungers are so low that they really only suit the height of a 3 year old and raising up from them requires tactical manoeuvring which ends up being undignified to say the least! I emailed the hotel twice prior to arrival to request a quiet room so in their wisdom we were placed next to both the pool bar and entertainment area (note I didn’t receive any response to my 2 emails-go figure!). The reception staff on arrival were sooooo slow and the gentleman driving the buggy thing was totally backfooted by the arrival of 4 voluptuous ladies he actually forgot where he was supposed to be taking us. The rooms are rather nice with the bonus of tea making facilities and well maintained by the cleaners who finally got the message I don’t need clean bedding daily. The food is varied and plentiful but the A La Carte restaurant is a joke as it’s only offering is burgers 🍔- who would have thought a burger was ‘A La Carte’? Some areas seem totally redundant such as the gym, playroom, upstairs outside bar area and the bar tucked out of sight at the back outside the reception area. At best it’s a 3.5 star.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay and couldn’t fault the hotel! We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a room with our own private balcony pool, which was such a lovely surprise and made our stay even more special.
The whole environment is incredibly peaceful and relaxing, making it the perfect place to unwind. The staff are all so lovely, friendly and attentive, and nothing was ever too much trouble. A special mention to Maurice at the front desk, who was absolutely lovely, extremely helpful and always happy to assist with anything we needed.
The food was delicious, with a fantastic variety of choices, and the drinks were plentiful with plenty of options throughout our stay.
Although late checkout isn’t guaranteed, the hotel was extremely accommodating and kindly granted ours, which we really appreciated and made our final day so much more enjoyable.
Overall, a beautiful and peaceful hotel with wonderful staff, delicious food and fantastic service. We had such a memorable stay and would absolutely return! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you to all…. Room 416
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.
