Luna miramar is a lovely hotel in a very central location. Within 15 minutes walk to old town and half hour to new town or taxi only 5 minutes around €5. The apartment was clean and spacious with fresh towels and housekeeping each day. Staff were pleasant and any requests we had were dealt with no problem. I would not fault this hotel and reading some of the reviews would be off putting. I think it deserves better rating.
Our recent stay was an extremely disappointing experience, and unfortunately there were problems from the moment we arrived.
Upon checking in, We were told we were being given an “upgrade”, which honestly left us wondering what the original room would have been like. We had booked a double room but were given twin beds instead. The room was extremely dated and poorly maintained, with stains on the couch and shower curtain. The shower thermostat was literally being held in place with a toothpick.
The most serious issue, however, was that €200 went missing from our room during our stay. We reported this to the hotel, expecting the matter to be taken seriously. Instead, we were repeatedly told that we should have used the safety deposit box. That response was incredibly disappointing. We were also told we would have to pay €100 to replace the room key, which seemed an absolutely ridiculous charge.
Booked through LoveHolidays which gives the impression that it has gym facilities, but we subsequently discovered that the gym was actually located at their sister hotel approximately 20 minutes away.
Overall, the stay was a catalogue of disappointments: a supposedly upgraded room that was anything but, a room that didn’t match the type we booked, poor maintenance, an absurd €100 replacement-key charge, misleading expectations around the gym, and most seriously, €200 going missing from our room with what felt like a complete lack of concern from the hotel when we reported it.
Power cuts during the day and at 4am in the morning. Staff did not care after complaining 3 times. Beds were like a brick wall. Unable to lock balcony door. Dodgy lights hanging by a tiny wire from the ceiling, looked like it would collapse at any point. Staff told us that an engineer would come to fix power but did not show up. Reception staff repeatedly played with the fuse box and stated that “it’s on its way out”. We were offered no room change and no refunds. Even though the fridge had stopped working due to the power resulting in food wastage. Staff simply did not care at all. Do not book. Avoid at all costs.
Just come back from a stag do (12 of us) at this hotel and after all the bad reviews I was dreading it but found it to be OK. Arrived to welcoming staff and didn't have to pay the deposit. Yes its a bit dated but you get what you pay for. Most of the day was spent round the pool enjoying ourselves and no one from hotel said we was loud. Only problem I had is I booked a balcony room and what I got can only be described has a step and couldn't even fit my full body outside. Otherwise it would have been a 5 star stay
Rooms are spacious, pool area is okay, location is good!
However, it is a stag and hens hotel, there is no pool supervision so stags especially can scream and shout and comment and and annoy people as they did when we were there, very hard to relax, rooms are dated half of the balcony doors aren’t working and using cross bards to jam them shut as the locks are broke. Room cleaning was poor, beds barely made and towels not changed. Will defiantly not be back
