This time, I’d like to share what it was like staying in a Superior Room Harbor View at 🏨 Hotel MiraCosta.

When I wrote this in November 2024, most of the attention was on Fantasy Springs Hotel, and getting a room there was proving quite difficult. But back at MiraCosta, rooms on the Porto Paradiso Side—the harbor side—were still as popular as ever. That was especially true of any room with Harbor View in its name, whether it was a standard room, a Speciale room with breakfast included, or a room with a Balcony. The Terrace Room Harbor Grand View was among the hardest of all to book.

💚 The appeal of these rooms was that you could watch the shows from inside. A Balcony or Terrace would bring you even closer.

We'd stayed in Harbor View once before, but a storm meant the park canceled the show that day. When we planned our return for 2025, I made sure to book Harbor View again.

I put these diagrams together to show roughly where the Superior Room Harbor View rooms for three and four guests are. I'd found a Japanese website that explained the layout very clearly and wanted to share what I'd learned. The link is in the comments on the original Facebook post.

We stayed in a room on the fifth floor of the right wing earlier that year, in 2024. For a look inside the room and at the view from its window, see the video at the end of this article.
