Friendly and efficient service. Hotel and grounds are stunning. Spacious large rooms that are clean and comfortable.
Dinners are amazing. Food is delicious and the presentation and small surprises are delightful. Walking Distance to shopping.
Spa is a treat. We just swam but it was so relaxing and warm. Great facility. Would highly recommend.
It was the nicest hotel in Ecuador and they took excellent care of us. The food was fantastic and the room was awesome. The staff was best ever and went above and beyond. We highly recommend this beautiful place
This hotel is a true mirage, highly recommend! The property is beautiful, very well maintained, and the service is impeccable, probably the best my husband and I ever had. We travel quite a lot and we were truly impressed by this gem of the hotel and by people who work there.
The Mirage Resort is a wonderful place to relax. Rooms are beautiful, huge and have all amenities. Fireplace was wonderful and needed in the evenings which are cool.
Restaurant was great. Sap is fantastic. Would recommend to everyone.
The place is nice, given the property size, the gardens were very well-kept and the place is beautiful! Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 babies) stayed in the family suite. We noticed a thin layer of dust all over the place when we arrived. Overall the rooms feel outdated but were as advertised on the listing. Kudos to the listing photographer because we felt a bit fooled by the pictures vs the actual feel of the room.The hydro message was not working and pool was a bit cold for the babies, still the atmosphere is very nice and relaxing. One of our babies has access restrictions, the family suites are really not stroller friendly (or even wheel chair accesible for that matter). When you enter the familly suite you are faced with 3 stairs to get to the door and then inside a flight of stairs that decends down to the actual room. Personally would recommend for couples only even though it is advertised as family friendly.
I visited La Mirage Garden Hotel & Spa with my sister late April / early May. We had a fantastic experience. The property was absolutely stunning. The breakfast was fabulous. The concierge was in constant contact with us and helped us with whatever we needed, including setting up our rides to and from the airport with a reliable driver. Each morning they would make up our room, and each evening they would place a heater in our beds and build a fire in the fire place. Everything about our stay was absolutely fabulous. You need to see this place for yourself!!
Visité el La Mirage Garden Hotel & Spa con mi hermana a finales de abril / principios de mayo. Tuvimos una experiencia fantástica. La propiedad era absolutamente impresionante. El desayuno fue fabuloso. El conserje estuvo en contacto constante con nosotros y nos ayudó con todo lo que necesitábamos, incluyendo organizar nuestros traslados hacia y desde el aeropuerto con un conductor confiable. Cada mañana arreglaban nuestra habitación, y cada noche colocaban un calentador en nuestras camas y encendían una chimenea. Todo acerca de nuestra estancia fue absolutamente fabuloso. ¡Tienes que ver este lugar por ti mismo!
Super verblijf! Alles klopt hier, van de ontvangst, de spa tot het diner en ontbijt. Uitstekende service en gastvrij. Extra vermelding wat ons betreft betreft het diner; in een sfeervolle ambiance wordt een uitstekend diner geserveerd.
Fuimos en viaje de pareja, desde el momento del recibimiento se siente la calidad en el servicio, están atentos a cada detalle.
Tuvimos la oportunidad de hacer uso del SPA en pareja y fue una grata experiencia, durante la sesión de masaje tienen prendida una chimenea.
La habitación es estilo antiguo muy bien cuidada y limpia.
La piscina de igual manera.
En cuando a la cena y desayuno tienen buenas opciones para una cena romántica y un desayuno genial con panes recién horneados y un buen café. 100% recomendado.
