We have stayed at several hotels Prelicano, El Faro before it was tore down, this fell right between the 2 for service. We stayed in room 301 and had a direct view of the ocean. the room was clean and in good repair, the bathroom was small but had good water pressure and lots of hot water. We had clean linens and towels every day and the room was cleaned very well. 5 of 7 mornings we got a free americano breakfast and the other 2 we had Continental. On the beach we learned to keep beach towels till we got clean ones they were not always available. I was kind of surprised when we arrived they wanted payment in full CASH. luckily I had paid the deposit on pay pal and was able to pay the balance on pay pal. check your total they tried to charge me 8 nights and I was only staying 7, she tried to say it was by days and not nights, after talking about it and showing my confirmation she agreed. but all in all we loved the small hotel beach experience. No need to go out 6:00 am to reserve chairs

Mimi is still a cool place- (our third stay) but- Ownership is cost cutting and let the manager go - (Rene- a really good guy)-consequently service quality is down -overheard more than one guest questioning why they were not receiving the usual free breakfast, etc.--and Mimi -at least at the time- was only taking cash- they did offer pay pal as a way to pay, but it's all a little strange-several guests making trips to the ATM at check out time, Otherwise - still a perfect location and nicer,clean place to stay in P.D.C. Really hope ownership gets everything back on track-

This is our third visit for Mimi del Mar. We like the location (literally right on the beach). To get there you ask one of their waiters to help you carry your suitcase across the sand. In the morning you leave your room and walk on to the beach to have a free continental breakfast (included if you reserve directly with the hotel). Then you choose your lounge chair (included with room), and relax for the rest of the day. The waiters can bring drinks, and their beach restaurant has excellent cerviche. About 4, when it starts getting cooler and the restaurant closes, you go back to your room, take a shower, and then wander off to Fifth Avenue, which is a block away. We did this for a week and thoroughly enjoyed it. PS- there appears to be wifi, although I'm not sure who is providing it.

We love the Mimi. It's a great little hotel, the people are so nice and helpful. And the location is perfect. You are right on the beach and barely off 5th avenue you can not beat it. And the price is awesome. This is our 2nd stay here, we also stayed here in June 2010. And we are planning our return trip already. Raul and Pancho at the bar keep you covered with cold beers, great services, and great food.
