The Mirador is a low-key stop-off. Predating the revolution by five years, the hotel was built in 1954 to accommodate spa-seekers headed for the adjacent Balneario San Diego. Well-tended terraced gardens slope up to simple, slightly dated rooms that look for the most part onto balconies with garden and balneario (bathhouse) views.
Downstairs there's a pleasant swimming pool and an outdoor grill that does whole roast pig on a spit. There's also a proper restaurant con una vista (with a view) inside, serving Cuban cuisine. It's popular with cycling groups, birdwatchers and holidaying Cubans in the summer.
