Labranda Kiotari Miraluna Resort

⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5)

We recently stayed at Kiotari Miraluna Beach Resort and, overall, I’d describe it as an average all-inclusive experience. We still managed to enjoy our holiday, but there were several areas that really need improving.

The biggest issue was the air conditioning. It struggled to keep the rooms cool, and the restaurants were also uncomfortably warm during meal times. In the summer heat, this made eating indoors quite unpleasant.

The WiFi throughout the resort was unreliable, and mobile phone signal was poor, so staying connected wasn’t easy.

The food was exactly what you’d expect from a typical all-inclusive buffet – plenty of choice, but nothing particularly memorable. Drinks were another disappointment, especially the soft drinks. The Pepsi and other fizzy drinks seemed to have little or no carbonation, which wasn’t very enjoyable.

Meal times could also be frustrating as finding a table was often difficult, particularly during the busiest periods. It felt like the resort wasn’t quite equipped for the number of guests staying there.

Our room was in need of refurbishment. There were several maintenance issues, including four broken floor tiles, and various fixtures and fittings were showing their age. We also had ants in the room throughout our stay, which was disappointing.

One thing worth mentioning is that the majority of guests were German, Polish and Russian. That’s obviously not a criticism in itself, but English didn’t seem to be the main language spoken around the resort, which may be useful for British travellers to know.

The beach bar was another let-down. Despite charging extra, it didn’t appear to offer anything different from the drinks and food already included in the all-inclusive package, so it didn’t feel worthwhile.

Finally, the resort is very isolated. If you like exploring the local area, be aware that there isn’t much within easy walking distance, so you’re largely confined to the resort unless you arrange transport.

Overall, we had a pleasant enough holiday, but there are several areas that need attention before we’d consider returning. With improvements to the rooms, air conditioning, WiFi, and dining experience, it could be a much better resort.

Close to the hotel, wonderful location, relaxing atmosphere, quite massage rooms, sauna, good value for the money, clean and quiet, good opportunity to relax ant take time off, service at the he reception and treatment by therapist are excellent. Shower and wc facilities are very clean but already quite old and would enjoy some renovation.
