There aren’t enough words to describe La Mirage! Beautiful, luxurious, an oasis!! my suite was one of the larger boutique garden houses located along lush tree and flower lined pathways that wind through the grounds. Mine was near the swimming pool spa, and full-service luxury spa… Every morning was a delight to wake up in a luxurious suite with gorgeous canopy bed, with comfortable bench seat at the foot, adjoining living room with fireplace looking out onto private Garden Terrace with two chair canopy patio table outside, beautiful bathroom with sunlit tile shower, nice big vanity with sinks for dressing in the morning. Getting up and out for breakfast meant walking along a flower lined pathway to a garden house filled with windows, where a delicious breakfast was served overlooking the rear gardens with ponds, fountains, garden patio seating areas, and a pathway to a small forested area behind the hotel. enjoying coffee while watching hummingbirds buzz around their feeders, tropical birds in the trees, and a small colony of the hotels white and coloured peacocks roaming the grounds. The staff was wonderful, very accommodating and helpful, always a cheerful greeting and a welcome smile whether at breakfast, offering to drop off coffee and snacks at my suite to enjoy on the outdoor terrace for an afternoon siesta, Stopping by to let the word fireplace in the room, serving an amazing meal for dinner in the (I would give it five stars) hotel restaurant, or just walking around the property enjoying “tranquillo” of my stay.

it’s a higher end hotel with no others like it in town, so yes it comes with luxury hotel prices but…. Wish I could’ve moved in and stayed as a resident. Well worth treating myself!

This is a fine and beautiful boutique hotel which is located located near the Otobalo Indian Market in a green and flourishing mansion where beautiful peacocks are freely scattered. The hotel serves chef meals and the spa offers excellent treatments. The service is courteous and majestic. Vacation from the dreams.

everything was perfect

the grounds were beautiful. the staff very attentive and the food very good.

the pool was a bit cold and some of the information was not up to date. eg it said that there were far more spa treatments available than there were.

it was a beautiful environment that was beautifully cared for.

our weather was not great but one cannot blame that on the hotel

Tranquility

What a absolutely stunning oasis! we booked this hotel while we were house hunting in the area. We’ve stayed in countless hotels in many countries and have never felt so pampered. The staff take care of the smallest details from giving you helpful information to sending someone to light your fireplace in the evening. Clemencia and Euphenia in reception are incredible! Each suite is set privately in your own garden. Wandering the tiled pathways throughout the mature gardens, flitting hummingbirds and strutting peacocks greet you. Breakfast is served in the morning room with classical music, rose strewn crisp white tablecloths and peaceful views of trickling fountains, lush lawns and resplendent peacocks. The breakfast is served by lovely staff in authentic dress. There are multiple courses, fresh fruit, unique juices, croissants and sweet breads and your choice of eggs. Dinner is served in the dining room full of interesting Ecuadorian antiques. The menu is interesting and varied and the dining experience is romantic.

The property is perfection

The hotel is beautiful! Surrounded by well-kept gardens, beautiful infrastructure and decorations, and very friendly staff. We really enjoyed our stay; the suite was great, the food delicious, and we swam and played tennis! Highly recommended 👌 (and Cotacachi is a beautiful town)

Excellent service and the best food!

Best hospitality Amazing food Beautiful rooms Wonderful gardens It’s the perfect getaway

Everything was exceptional, the kind staff, massages, chimney, desserts, the food at the restaurant, the fauna. EVERYTHING!

A bit of more variety on the menu for lunch and dinner and we forgot our toothpaste and there wasn't any in the bathroom

It is a spacious property with wide stone pathways leading to habitaciones and the pool, breakfast cottage, tennis court, and entryway. It felt very safe and cared for by the staff. It is within walking distance from the small town of Cotacachi. Beautiful swimming pool and spa we visited every day.

We did not have a car so we were a 1/2 half hour taxi ride to the lakes and waterfalls we wanted to see. I also thought the resort had horseback riding and bicycles to rent, a misunderstanding caused by my guidebook.

The location, accommodations and staff were exceptional. The room was large with a sitting room and having the staff light the fireplace as we out to dinner is a real pleasure. The SPA is world class!!

Cannot think of any negative aspects!!

We loved the Elizabethan appointments of the property from our room, our sitting room, the dining room, the breakfast area, the swimming pool to the gardens. Most of all, the genuine warmth and thoughtfulness of the staff. Unbeknownst to us, they built a fire in the fireplace room n our room and put hot water bottles in our bed to warm it while we were having dinner! Just lovely!

The only recommendation would be to replace the mattress on the bed. It was the hardest mattress I’ve ever slept on!
