Luna Runtun Hotel - Ecuador

Luna Runtun is a 4 star hotel situated in the hills on Banos, overlooked by the volcano. We found Luna Runtuns advert on a place mat in a restaurant. It was soon our anniversary so we thought we would ditch our backpacker status and `Flashpack` instead. For what it offered it was actually reasonably priced, In England you would probably get a nice room for the same price and only that. Here they boasted private terraces with Jacuzzis.

Having made a reservation for one night we headed up to hills. Luna Runtun also has a spa connected to the hotel that guest could us. Check in was not until 2pm so we took full advantage of this. When it was time for check in we were pulled to one side and the receptionist pulled a face giving away bad news instantly. The people in our suite had disappeared and had not checked out so our room wasn’t ready…BUT.. . they could upgrade us to the best room in the house. Which was an amazing solution presented on their behalf and we quickly confirmed we would be happy to take the new (better) room with no hesitation.

The upgrade room turned out to be somewhat of a Honeymoon suite. Petals where scattered everywhere when we walked through the door. The man was very helpful and showed us how everything worked. They even had an umbrella by the door, just in case. We had bought a bottle of wine but had no corkscrew. I called room service who confirmed they will be round with one asap. A minute later we had a knock on the door by one of the staff who had our corkscrew in hand. This was brilliant, we had lived like peasants for the last 4 months, this luxury was almost too much.


The package even included a dinner and a brilliant breakfast. It really was a great deal sweetened with our upgrade. Here are some pics:
