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 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 grounds. The peacocks ate right out of our hand. Food is excellent and served quietly by women dressed in indigenous clothes. We enjoyed the fire in the fireplace in our room and our own private patio fill of flowers and trees.

I have stayed at hotel La Mirage in Cotacachi just one night and I ha been surprised by the quality, level of details and friendly welcome we have been offered. Welcome fresh fruit juice, flowers, chocolate bonbons, COVID - related safety measures well and thoroughly applied, spacious and luxurious suite, wonderful gardens, with trees, flowers everywhere, peacocks roaming free etc. At dinner, personnel gave us (and also to the other clients) quite a secluded table (inside, it was raining) from which we could enjoy the view of the garden well illuminated as well as the warmth of the chimney inside the restaurant. The service was impeccable, quick, perfect.... Couldn't be better. Price is correct compared with the quality received. A place I do recommend.

We spent a couple of nights in the La Mirage Garden Hotel & Spa. First off, They take safety and covid very seriously so there are no worries on that front. It might be the most impressive set up I have seen for both the hotel and restaurant. The cabins are incredibly charming with nice bathrooms and a spacious layout. It was a little warm at night and did not have AC or a fan but other than that, we loved our room. The restaurant was great. We ate there the first night out of convenience and it was so good we did not look elsewhere for the next night. I would be very surprised if the area has anything better. Both nights meals impressed.

Went for a day at the spa. Needless to say it was just perfect and relaxing. Lunch followed with a perfect high cuisine menu that included roasted lamb, ending with a delicious rose ice cream, and figs in a red wine sweet sauce.
