La Mirage Garden Hotel & Spa

We were lucky enough to return to this lovely hotel , gardens and spa. We were here four years ago, and as luck would have it, we were put in the same suite as before. Just absolutely lovely. The dinner here was special, just like before. The presentation over the top. The staff couldn’t be more welcoming. Highly recommend this wonderful experience.

Luxurious hotel for an indulgent splurge. The grounds are a virtual botanical garden, with all manner of birds to be seen partaking of the nectar from the many species of flowering trees and shrubs. Guest bungalows are beautifully furnished and quite large, with separate sitting areas, glittering chandeliers and a fireplace to ward off any night chills. Ours (#112) was occupied by the Queen of Spain during her visit to Ecuador in the 1990's. Bed warmers are also set in place during the nightly turndown service. There also a beautiful spa, with a lovely indoor pool and serene massage and treatment rooms. The delicious included breakfast is served in a glassed in setting that allows you to watch peacocks strut around the lawns outside and if you'd like to feed them the staff has bags of breadcrumbs ready for you to toss. The hotel also operates the most elegant restaurant in the area, if not the country and while the prices are above average for fine dining in Ecuador, the food and service more than justify the cost. That said we are not talking serious money by US standards. The most expensive main course, Duck La'Orange, being around $30, at lunch. Bottom line, after braving 13,000 feet to explore northern Ecuador, go ahead and treat yourself to this very special place.

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 Overall the rooms feel outdated but were as advertised on the listing.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.

Great place service cleanliness room and good.

The best place in the middle of unique nature. Lots of peakok among the sweets Great service Excellent spa One of the moat experience we had by all means The dinner was like a chef dinning with huge variety of vegan, fish, meet and small dishes between

Beautiful property and wonderful service.

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.

Owner, staff were impressive. Any visitor will reflect after a stay and know they just witnessed a blessed event.
