I loved how the property is truly ocean front. The rooms were nice and I appreciated the amenities. The cons were this sulfuric smell that I the air conditioner created. It was so bad that I asked to be moved. However, the staff was kind and comprehensible to my request and didn’t give me grief. I honestly enjoyed my stay and look forward to another trip in the future.

Amazing experience — stayed twice! I had an amazing experience at Hotel Mirador Plaza and actually stayed here twice during my trip. Both stays met and exceeded my expectations. The service is top quality, and the staff made me feel very welcomed and taken care of. Breakfast was honestly my favorite part of every morning—delicious with great variety! The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very clean. The pool area is beautiful and relaxing, and you can even enjoy a drink while in the water. The location is also very convenient; everything feels close by, and I had no problem taking Ubers wherever I wanted to go. After experiencing other accommodations during my trip, I appreciated Mirador Plaza even more. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!
