Reviews and Ratings
My stay at La Mirage was truly magical. The rooms are spacious, beautifully appointed with a touch of European elegance, and the staff even lit the fireplace for a cozy evening. The service was impeccable, from thoughtful gestures like lighting the fireplace and preparing hot water bottles to the cheerful greetings at every encounter. The location in the charming town of Cotacachi offers breathtaking views and a tranquil ambiance. The dining experience at La Mirage exceeded my expectations with fresh, delicious offerings. While the facilities were excellent, some elements could use a little improvement.
Staying at this hotel was truly a delightful experience. The rooms were beautifully designed, offering both indoor and outdoor sitting areas. The hot-water bottles under the covers were a lovely touch, keeping my feet warm throughout the night. The garden paths led to a charming atmosphere that was both sophisticated and cozy.
