ILUNION Miramar

I kept hearing about and seeing this apartment hotel recommended, so I decided to book it. The staff had my room ready when I arrived, which was appreciated, and the room itself was a decent size.

However, I had requested a top-floor room and was instead given a room on the floor below. As a result, I could hear noise from the room above, including furniture being moved.

The internet was very slow throughout my stay and disappeared completely for a full day midweek. There was also no shampoo or conditioner provided in the room. The hairdryer was extremely outdated, and if you have curly hair, don't expect your diffuser attachment to fit.

Unfortunately, cleanliness was an issue. There was dried urine underneath the toilet seat, which was unpleasant to discover. Thankfully, I had brought toilet seat covers with me.

The room was also missing basic items such as a pen and notepad. The hotel is both dog-friendly and smoking-friendly, which may suit some guests but wasn't ideal for me, as I could smell cigarette smoke in my room.

The sofas looked well past their best, appearing worn, unclean, and sagging in the middle, suggesting they haven't been replaced for many years. I certainly wouldn't have felt comfortable sleeping on them.

On a positive note, the staff and cleaning team were always pleasant and friendly throughout my stay. I have tried it and I won't be booking again

First time staying here, wherever we go we usually stay on the beachfront, but I couldn't find anything suitable this time, so based on the reviews, we booked here for 1 week end of May half term 2 adults 2 kids 11yrs and 7yrs. So happy that we did, really liked it here, we never go back to the same accommodation, usually trying somewhere new, but can honestly say we would return here. Had a relaxing holiday. Apartments were well equipped, and clean, not cleaned everyday but that didn't bother us. We went half board, breakfast was great nice selection of cooked items and bakery items, juices, coffees and fruit etc, dinner was repetitive and not much choice, didn't cater great for my daughter with a nut allergy either, would probably only pay for the breakfast next time, hence 4 stars and not 5. Pool area was great, we went in half term and didn't ever have a problem getting a sunbed and parasol, in fact we didn't sometimes get round the pool until gone 11am and still got sunbeds on the front row of the pool which was brilliant to be able to watch the kids. Pool opened at 10.30am and closed at 6.30pm until May turned to June when it then closed at 7.30pm. Pool bar is nice, cocktails, soft drinks and ice creams, seating under umbrellas at the pool bar too which was nice to get out of the sun if needed. Restaurant does menu throughout the day, burgers, chips, pizzas etc food was good prices were as expected. Huge supermarket and shopping centre across the road, we found this really convenient. Especially as even though we were half board we still had kitchen with fridge, microwave and hob in our room. Also noticed you are able to bring shopping back to hotel in a trolley and leave the trollies to be taken back. Bus stop outside hotel. Taxi to Fuengirola beach front costs around 7euros or you can walk approx 15/20mins. Our room had a bedroom with two twin beds pushed together. And two large sofa beds in the living room. We slept well on the sofa beds. TV in bedroom and living room both had a selection of British channels, BBC, ITV, channel 4, channel 5, film 4 and CBBC Balconies don't get a lot of sun but this didn't bother us we aren't often in the room. Staff friendly and helpful. Wouldn't hesitate staying here again.
