We stayed at Hotel Ilunion in Mijas in mid-April for 9 days as a family of four. The hotel itself is visually beautiful—reception and common areas are absolutely stunning and give a great first impression. The amenities are excellent, and the overall atmosphere is lovely.
However, the rooms feel quite dated in comparison. While our room was spacious and the mattress very comfortable, the bathrooms looked old and gave off a feeling of being unclean, even when they were clean. It feels like the rooms haven’t received the same care as the rest of the hotel.
Our experience at check-in was a bit awkward. The receptionist on duty made me feel uncomfortable, as he wouldn’t look me in the eyes and didn’t seem warm or welcoming. Strangely, he appeared much friendlier when speaking to my husband, which left a sour taste. We had to request a room change to better accommodate our family, and fortunately, the new room was much better.
From then on, the staff made a huge difference. Oli at the reception was fantastic—kind, warm, and professional. Livia L. was also wonderful, always smiling and genuinely helpful. The rest of the team was equally great throughout our stay. The restaurant staff were especially outstanding, always attentive and friendly. A special thank you to Carmen, who was incredibly sweet and caring every day. I also want to thank Miriam, the cook, for going out of her way to prepare egg- and pork-free chicken dishes for me—twice! That really meant a lot.
As for the food itself, it was a bit of a hit-and-miss experience. Some days it was excellent, others not so much—it felt like a bit of a roulette. Still, the service from the waiters made every meal pleasant regardless.

In summary, this hotel has great potential and truly outstanding staff, but the rooms need some love. With a little renovation, it could easily be a top-tier destination. Would I stay again? Possibly—but I’d request an updated room and hope for better consistency in the food.

We stayed as a couple and had a really nice trip the room was beautiful but did have small things wrong like a few ants on the bathroom floor and the tv didn’t work. However the hotel was in a beautiful location with amazing views and 5 minute taxi to the local town of Mijas Pablo - which was stunning. The hotel also had a private swimming pool, sauna and steam which we enjoyed. Overall we had a nice stay and would come back again.

We had a lovely stay for our honeymoon, the staff was made aware and would congratulate us. We were received with a bottle of very nice fizz in our room.
Excellent service, very clean and beautiful views. Buffet for breakfast had plenty of options. Would definitely recommend.
