You can't get more relaxed in a place like this. The service was incredible, the view is completely amazing. The food is great. We loved it.
We didn't have to leave the hotel to get the best experience of Baños. The price is very fair, the breakfast and dinner are included and the food is GOOD. The spa is the best-- the massages are very cheap. The service is world-class quality. We will come back again for sure.
Unforgettable views - very good food - excellent massages - very very relaxing !A special thanks to Ricardo, Cecilia and Carmen
Some friends recommended us Luna Runtun. However, we never imagined that this place was so beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed the good food and accommodation, the nice staff and the incredible views from the swimming pools. 3 days were really too short!
Incredibly relaxing, fabulous view- Luna Runtun is a real treat!
A very good mixture of rest (spa) and activities ! We have enjoyed the perfect service at all times, the very good food, the extraordinary and unique location with its breathtaking views and the company of an well educated guide, Rodrigo. It has been a great experience for the second consecutive year. We will be back with all our family and friend. Thank you again.
Imagine the most beautiful, rustic, secluded, yet luxurious place on earth...you have Luna Runtun. Nested in the folds of the active volcano's base, you have a view of the entire town of Banos down below. We hiked the three hours up the volcano from Banos, but you can also take a taxi up the backside of the volcano. Don't miss this. If the rooms are out of your price range, go up for a massage during the day and then have a magnificent dinner in their open air restaraunt. You will not regret it!
Baños is amazing! Luna Runtun is a beautiful place with a wonderful atmosphere, but for the price the rooms could be of better quality. The place lacks a playground for children.
Luna Runtun is set in the most spectacular setting, above Banos with huge views of Llanganates National Park and Tungurahua Volcano looming overhead. Treat yourself to wonderful spa treatments at a fraction of what they'd cost in US and Europe. There are lots of adventurous activites in the surrounding area. Luna Runtun is in a class way above the hostels and budget hostels in Banos and cost is also high compared to the rest, but if you want to treat yourself to a world class relax its worth it.
Beautiful location. Perfect for honeymoon. Great spa and trips. Rodrigo was a great guide. Highly recommend staying here.
I LOOOOVED the half- day spa treatment here, but found the lunch overpriced -- $20 for just your basic Ecuadorian fare. The views and atmosphere are breathtaking though.
