Relaxing Hot Springs

“I had an very nice time enjoying the hot springs at Luna Volcan. The four thermal pools were well-maintained and provided a soothing experience. I loved that I could unwind with a drink in the pool while taking in the stunning views of the mountains and city. It's a peaceful retreat, perfect for relaxation!” view full review

Satisfying Dining Experience

“The dining experience at the on-site restaurant was quite good. I had some grilled salmon for dinner, and even though it was overcooked, the overall meal was satisfying. The 'cod in shrimp sauce' was a highlight for me. I appreciated the option between dining in a cozy indoor setting or outdoors with beautiful garden views.” view full review

Charming Accommodations

“I stayed in a cozy cabin that was beautifully decorated with woodwork and charming wall paintings. The views from my room were amazing, especially at night when the city was lit up. The cabin had all the essentials, including complimentary water, a safe, and comfortable bedding, making my stay truly enjoyable.” view full review

Impressive Spa Facilities

“The spa facilities are great at Luna Volcan. I loved having access to shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the showers after enjoying the pools. The cleanliness and amenities made for a refreshing experience, which was perfect after a long day of relaxation in the hot springs.” view full review

This hotel is truly a gem, nestled in the mountains with breathtaking views of Baños and the imposing Tungurahua Volcano. My suite was charming and cozy, especially with the heated floors and a splendid view. However, the pool area got quite crowded at times, and there were long waits for breakfast on a couple of occasions, which could definitely be improved.

I loved my suite, it was clean, comfortable, featured large floor-to-ceiling windows, and had its own private jacuzzi equipped with bubble bath. The themed decor was picturesque, matching the enchanting surroundings beautifully.

The service was hit or miss; while the staff tried their best to accommodate us, we experienced a bit of rudeness during a price dispute at reception, which was disappointing.

The meals at the Runtun restaurant were quite good, but we had to eat at the Cafe Cielo one night due to a reservation issue, which had a limited menu and was quite noisy.

The pool area is lovely, but tends to get busy, making it hard to enjoy a peaceful dip. The spa services need improvement as they felt a bit lacking compared to the hotel's overall standard.

Staying at Luna Runtun was a beautiful experience with stunning views and relaxing hot springs. The room was cozy, featuring heated floors and breathtaking views of the valley. However, the service fell short at times, especially in the dining area, where I had to wait longer than expected. The hot springs were the main highlight for me, but be prepared for a higher price tag compared to other options in Baños.

The hotel offers stunning views and spacious rooms with private jacuzzis, but there are significant issues with service and dining options that detracted from the experience. While the pools are lovely and well-maintained, the high price does not match the quality of some amenities and the lack of attention to detail in service and dining areas.

My stay at this hotel was an interesting mix of highs and lows. On the one hand, the thermal baths were exactly what I wanted to unwind after a long journey, but access was denied even though the baths weren't full. The spa treatment I booked was top-notch, which made up for the inconvenience somewhat. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, but the service could definitely use some improvement, especially considering the high price point.

Rooms
