There are many reasons why we loved Hotel El Mirador. Location is superb. We walk whenever we can and this hotel is very well situated to walk to the gym , beaches , restaurants, busy streets for shopping and food , Chedraui is close by too ! If you want to go to the further beaches and I’m sure you do , you can take a taxi right out front or a collectivo as well. The rooms are very clean , bed was very comfy. lots of hot water, good view of the ocean, two very large and clean pools. The 2nd story pool was just retiled and it’s like new. The staff are very friendly and kind and will help you out if need be! The air conditioner works superb ! A special thank you for making us feel so welcome! Like any hotels one does hear noise occasionally but at bedtime , the noise stops so no worries there. There is a great place to eat called La Luna , 10 meters close that is associated with the hotel. We ate most breakfasts there and Gloria takes care if your preferences. We will be back for sure. Muchas Gracias for having us!
Hotel super cómodo, limpio, sus instalaciones son bonitas y están bien cuidadas, acorde al precio. La habitación a pie de alberca que tuvimos estaba muy amplia y el balcón excelente para llegar y sentarse con una bebida muy muy a gusto. La ubicación nos gusto mucho porque tienes todo a minutos de distancia (playas, Oxxo etc) Ideal para familias con niños ya que tiene 2 albercas. El personal muy atento y amable, mil gracias por todo!!!
Un hotel muy agradable y tranquilo, a pesar de que llegó mucha gente, estaba todo muy bien, la vista hacia Zicatela y Punta Zicatela, hermosa. Quedamos muy a gusto con el hospedaje
Nor happy rooms are not up to part based on wha6they charge
Qué grata sorpresa. Este lugar parece pequeño desde la autopista, pero en realidad es bastante grande. Nuestra habitación tenía una vista excelente y estaba limpia y cómoda. Una excelente relación calidad-precio. Caminamos hasta los restaurantes y las tiendas, y aunque hay muchas escaleras, fue una estancia estupenda. Juan Carlos, de recepción, es excelente. Nos alojaremos de nuevo pronto.
Wow this place has the nicest staff ever ! So clean and organized . Just a great room. A.c. was super fresh.
Un gran lugar para disfrutar, bien ubicado un Oxxo y Chedraui cerca. Dos albercas , habitaciones amplias. Trato amable, entrada a la 3 pm si llegas antes que fue nuestro caso te permiten usar las instalaciones. Recomendable además es ambiente tranqui
Beautiful views. Rooms were clean and spacious. Dog friendly also which was amazing because I have a big dog. WAVES

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
