I have been all over the world traveling and I know great service when I see it! Luna Beach Resort has you never wanting to leave! The food is good, service is great, drinks are AMAZING, rooms are beautiful, and the sceneary is breath taking! I honestly can't think of any complaints to make about Luna. I just returned home and I am already planning a group trip with all my friends for the summer time.
As for the island itself I love it! It's beautiful and green with crystal clear water. I could not stop taking pictures lol! The people are as sweet as can be and are most deffinitly "laid back"! There are tons of things to do and I am planning on getting certified to go diving next trip. I am in love with Roatan, Honduras and Luna Beach Resort! I guess you can say that I have found my new favorite vacation spot and I wish I would have came here sooner.

The rental house was nice enough....plenty of room, a full kitchen, clean and well-furnished. The location is typical for Roatan.....safe during the day, and semi-sketchy at night. Between the resort and West End the beach is dark but all the locals report it as a safe walk, provided you are not alone. We did see numerous policemen armed with AK-47s patrolling along that particular strip of sand and had no problems at all. We were repeatedly warned not to walk the other direction down the beach (towards West Bay) at night and as such never attempted to do so. Even the locals said they would not make that journey on foot for fear of being robbed.

The food at Luna Beach pretty much just sucks. They nickel-and-dime you to death with every single meal...charging for water for an "all-inclusive" plan is just ridiculous. The burgers reminded me of elementary school mystery meat and everything else is just plain old-fashioned nasty. Ordering nachos one day, we received fresh chips, but that same bag of chips was dragged out for our entire week-long stay. We asked for fresh chips later in the week and were told that there were not enough guests eating there to justify opening a new bag. Are you kidding me?? We are out or cooked in the house almost every meal as their fare was bordering on inedible.

As for the sand flies, I understand that is a problem that is island-wide and not exclusive to Luna Beach. Even still, they were simply atrocious. It is impossible to walk outside for any reason whatsoever without completely dousing yourself in DEET, which then gets you lectured by the hotel and dive staff. Hey, when you guys control your pests, I'll stop spraying chemicals. But as long as these vicious beasts are carrying off my travel companions one bite at a time, we are gonna be spraying the Off. Just don't buy it from the hotel, since they want $14 per can!

The dive shop is a mother-may-I philosophy. No dives under 60 ft unless you're an advanced diver, regardless of your experience level. No going near wrecks (never mind penetrating them, I am talking about going near them) unless you have a wreck certification. You dive for XX minutes then surface, regardless of the air you have left.

Overall, not a terrible place to stay, but if I am going back to Roatan I will try my luck elsewhere.

Just returned from Luna Beach Resort with my daughter and I can't say enough about the place. I have already booked the first week in December and bought and airline ticket to return even before Ieft. The staff was great. Whitney made it so easy and set all our adventures up for us. Hyrum took care of us at the bar and he makes the best " Monkey La La's " and Robert and Ferman was awsome from the Dive shop. We were out on the reef eveyday twice a day. Ferman was like an ecyclopedia with his knowledge of the sea. We had the "a" unit right on the beach and it was a beautiful to wake up and see the caribean at my door step. Debbie was so easy to talk to from the first time we spoke and I booked right away. It is a 10 to 15 minute beach walk to west end and we did it at night and felt real safe.( i would suggest to bring a small flashlight , as the first 5 minutes it is dark and the light would help. Can be done without though. Bottom line is this is the place to stay.

Very nice rooms, the dive shop was amazing. We became certified scuba divers in the week we were there! Everything about Roatan made it a place we would want to return to over and over, but the sand flies made sitting at the beach, on our lovely veranda - any outside activities very uncomfortable (even with deep woods off applied regularly). We came home and suffered with itching for a week. The southern West Bay area seemed less affected with the flies.
The staff were alright, the food plain and expensive. We went into the West End every night for dinner. There are many very good restaurants there and we didn't ever feel unsafe. Take a flashlight for these night walks.
The diving was amazing, and we would highly recommend all the dive staff.
The management: the owner was a lovely engaging fellow, but his daughter - who was in charge - seemed very focused on the money being made ahead of our needs. There was no sugar provided in the room, but coffee was. We borrowed a sugar container from the bar and she wanted to charge us for it!
the water taxi's are the best bet for traveling short distances and cost 50 limpira each to go from Luna Beach to either the West End or West Bay.
We met our daughter (who was traveling through Central America) and she was astonished at the 'gringo pricing' - taxi's cost 3-4x more etc. than she was used to paying as a back packer, food was much more expensive, but we accepted this as the cost of traveling in a more deluxe way.
US dollars are accepted currency, but some shop keepers have trouble doing the math. Our daughter caught them a few times, but it wasn't a great deal of money.
Overall - we would recommend Luna Beach as a nice quiet relaxing place to stay. we would consider returning there if it weren't for the bugs.
