The Resort
Luna Beach, the Premier Resort Experience in Honduras
Construction on Luna Beach Resort in Roatan, Honduras started in early 2000. The current owner purchased the resort in 2002 and began to develop the area for divers as well as vacationers. Focusing on both diving vacations and other features of Roatan. Honduras travel activities, Luna Beach quickly has become one of the premier resorts in Roatan. We have developed the Dive Shop into a first rate operation, built rooms on the beach and the large Premium Houses up on the hill. With the purchase of 19 more acres we have built a new road into Luna Beach Resort from the West Bay road, this road is almost a mile long leading you down thru the jungle with all of its beauty. We are busy making every upgrade we can along with a new full service generator system, and many improvements to the grounds, beach and common areas. Our mission is to continue to improve the property in order to provide a world-class experience for Honduras scuba divers and vacationers coming to the Roatan Island from around the world. And, our attention to detail and to personal service ensures that you’ll not only enjoy your tropical vacation, but you’ll come back time and again for more of some of the best dining and diving in the world.
The Owner
Mr. Chuck lives on the premises of our Roatan resort and is actively involved with its daily operation of the resort. An American from Colorado, Mr. Chuck’s love of diving has taken him all over the world. However, it was in Roatan that he discovered diving that was unrivaled in his experience. Finding this paradise brought him back again and again for diving vacations, until he decided to move to Roatan and now considers the island his home. With the beauty and perfect weather that he experiences every day in this dive paradise, he doesn’t miss the Colorado winters!
Spend a day with Mr. Chuck and you’ll marvel at his energy and love of life. Mr. Chuck meets every guest and makes it his personal mission to care for each and every person as if they were family. His goal, and the goal of his staff, is to ensure that you leave the island with your dream of paradise fulfilled.
You’ll find attention to detail everywhere – right down to the story behind our logo.

My name is Lars Peeters- Education: US Army Helicopter test Pilot, BS in Liberal arts and Aviation Management. Born 20 Dec 1961 in Leiden Holland. lived in Holland until the age of 6 and moved to St. Maarten. Went to elementary school there and learned English since my first language is Dutch. At the age of 11, family moved to Aruba since a highschool didn’t exist on St.Maarten. Father was in the furniture and interior design of and hotels. Learned both Spanish and Papiamento in Aruba due to the multi-cultural population. Finished high-school in Aruba and went to work for my father for the following 3 years. Became a private pilot during that time. Was married and moved to the US to pursue a helicopter license. After becoming a commercial helicopter pilot, I decided to join the US Army since I could not get a job as a helicopter pilot with very little experience. Joined the US Army in April 1987, became a helicopter mechanic, since I was not yet a US citizen. Spent 4 years as a mechanic and participated in the Gulf War. Applied for US citizenship in 1990 and applied for flight school. Started US Army helicopter flight school in June of 1991 and graduated as a Blackhawk pilot in May of 1992. After graduation, I spent numerous tours overseas to include Germany, Turkey, Northern Iraq, Korea, Honduras and several years in the US. Spent 2 years as one of the intercept aircraft at the Crawford Ranch during the Bush Presidency.
Retired from the Army in August of 2008 and had been to Luna Beach several times before. To this day I still love the place and made a promise to Mr.Chuck that one day I would come there and help him out. Currently still reside in Central Texas, but spend most of my time at Luna Beach Resort.
Reservations – Debbie
When you call reservations in the US, you have reached Debbie, in Arvada Colorado. I am the daughter of the owner, Mr. Chuck, of Luna Beach Resort. Being a Colorado native that hates the cold, at least I can warm my soul with thoughts of the warm tropics of Paradise when anyone calls for information about Luna Beach Resort and Roatan. Because of my connection with the owner, I have been to Roatan many times and am well informed of the Island, Luna Beach Resort and the local culture, so ask away. The best part of the job is getting to know all of you and even better if you are there when I am, what a thrill to actually meet you in person. I have been married 29 years and have one daughter 27 and a son 23, so just your typical family life. I look forward to talking with anyone that needs my help and hope I can make your vacation just a little more special.
