Overall the property was nice. I took my 2 daughters age 17 and 19 and we booked a 1 bedroom with a pull out. The room was good but no pull out. It was a very small, uncomfortable couch that the back folded down on. There was also no linens provided for it. Needless to say my youngest daughter was not impressed. Also, there were only 2 indoor and 2 pool towels provided. We emailed asking for some additional clean towels mid week but they were never delivered. Lastly, the roof top pool and patio was very nice but there were no umbrellas. It was extremely hot up there with no escape from the sun. Nice property but the small things add up after awhile.
We enjoyed having such a comfy place to land at the start of our San José get away! Very convenient and close to everything downtown!! We’d love to come back!
Very big space but poor build you can hear everything from above you and outside
( big door gap underneath not help as well)
Great location, very convenient, nice pool.

The Lumina is a really nice place to stay. The reason i didnt give 5 stars is because for a one bedroom unit, they say theres a "pull-out" couch. There is not. There is a very short convertible couch that folds down. No mattress. So unless you are 4 feet tall, your legs will not fit because of the armrests. It was incredibly frustrating to assume there'd be a proper pullout couch with an actual mattress for an adult guest, and then realize a short couch was all that was available. They do not clean your room automatically unless requested. We stayed for 2 weeks and did not have our room cleaned. We had to request fresh towels and toilet paper often. Not a huge deal, but just something to note. Everything else was great. If they exchanged the couch situation, would be 5 stars.
We had a great stay at Lumina. It was close to all the action down town and a pretty easy walk to the beach and groceries. The place was clean and full featured. The roof top pool was a great place to hang out even if it wasn't hot enough for us to brave the pool for swimming. I would definitely come back here again!
Great place! Spacious, and clean. The location was perfect. Walking distance to everything! I would stay here again in a heartbeat! The only thing missing was a TV in the bedroom and laundry if you stay longer.

New Apt in a great location. There aren’t hotel services if you need that. They are still working the kinks out of the building and I never did get warm water. They told me to just run the shower but running water in a desert for 20 minutes seemed a waste. All said great location and value though.
Sunrise from the rooftop was amazing. We wanted to put the rooftop fire on one night but you need to reserve your “20 minutes” of use, a day ahead. Great having underground parking. Included kitchen items for my week stay were 4 coffee pods and salt/pepper. Very walkable area with lots of music to enjoy.
I was on a solo trip for business. The apartment was modern and well-equipped. Comfortable bed, nice sofa tv, the kitchen had all i needed to make a basic meal.
The owners have put nice personal touches on the property - i loved all the photos of the local area.
The rooftop pool is gorgeous - great to chill at. There is a rooftop gym area which was great for a sunrise workout.
Lots of restaurants, cafes & shops right on the doorstep.
I would stay at Lumina again!

Directions to the place were bad . Sent us to wrong location. We had to rent a hotel the night we arrived for 169.00 dollars . We tried numerous times to contact the owner no one answered. The next morning we searched for another hour and finally found the place. The place is nice am disappointed we had to rent a hotel the first night.
Me and my 9-year-old son had a great time. It felt like home. We enjoyed the pool and the location. All my questions were answered right away. It was our first time here, and it won't be the last. Thank you everyone.
I’m going to tell you the truth - this property was nice, clean, and in a decent location away from the partying Cabo (about a 35 min drive). However, there was a host of problems from the moment we checked in. The owners of this place aren’t on premises and do not answer the phone that’s posted; they only reply back through Expedia messaging which takes lots of time if they’re paying attention. We arrived and had not received the “email” with the room or passcode and the front desk didn’t know anything about it because they are security and have nothing to do with reservations from private owners. We waited 2-3 hours going back and forth through messaging with owner who gave us 3-4 wrong passcodes to the room. They finally got it right and we were extremely frustrated having to stand in the sun playing with codes. We didn’t receive a parking space or passcode to garage. The owners claim to have requested for a license plate via email in order to get a spot and passcode but once again, receiving emails through Expedia in another country with very limited cellular data and wifi is going to make life hard because it takes time or doesn’t come at all. Instead of answering the phone, they only email and this kills so much time. The air conditioner didn’t start working until night time so it was muggy everyday until PM. There was only two large dry towels and no face clothes. No washer or dryer on premises. No microwave. It was terrible. Go elsewhere. Cute place but bad management
