What a beautiful place to vacation!
I just wanted to thank the manager Lars, owner Chuck and their staff, especially Daisy and Scott for the wonderful hospitality and personal touch ..I still cannot get enough of the Monkey La's La's.
The girls did a wonderful job of keeping our 3 bedroom house neat and tidy. The hibiscus displayed on our beds every day were a delight.
WE look forward to seeing all of you again .
Thank You again for a wonderful vacation, one week is not enough time-- make it 2.

Alright, settle back and let me tell you about the Luna Beach Resort. It all starts with Debbie (the owner’s daughter living in Denver) who, unlike other people I have dealt with, makes signing up for your vacation “get-a-way” as easy and pleasant of an experienced as I have ever had. She gives you options and suggestions which fit exactly what YOU want. I would have paid extra for how simple she made the whole operation.
Then you’re off to Roatan. You arrive at the airport; tell the taxi driver “Luna Beach”, and you’re there in about 25 minutes after driving down about one mile of the most beautiful driveway I’ve ever seen. Go to the office; check in, and in no time your laying in your own personal hammock (for sale in the gift shop, I just had to have one). The grounds are pristine and delightfully free from any of those pesky sand flies due to a neat (non-toxic) system they have installed. Every day you see a team of people cleaning, raking, washing, and beautifying the site. The buildings are especially nice. Some separate, some linked together, some fully self contained, but all with beautiful views of the ocean only a few steps away. The layout of the buildings and the rockwork indicated to me how much care and passion they took in creating this place. The rooms were great, clean, and spacious. Make no mistake, if you want telephones, TV’s, $150/yard carpet – you need to go to the Radisson in LasVegas, but in my mind this place is great.
The staff is superb (I’m running out of adjectives). You will find the owner, Chuck, working every day, but usually at 4:04 PM you’ll find him in his chair at the outside bar. He’s a great gentleman and you can tell his main focus is on making your stay there the most pleasant possible. One day when he was adding some costly improvements I asked him why he was doing that since it wouldn’t be increasing his revenue a bit (me being a capitalist and all). He simply said “it’s about making the guest as happy and comfortable as I can”. What a concept. Close by you will find Lars the property manager. He also will do everything he can to make your stay comfortable. If all the guests are in bed or in West End whopping it up, and you show up wanting a beer – he’ll see to it, and maybe even have a gin and tonic with you. It doesn’t stop there with the staff. In the office if you want a taxi, to rent a car, or do a “zip-line” – they see to it and most likely have you picked up right there. The bartenders (you have to try their “monkey-la-la”), waiters, waitresses (hi Daisy), maids (you were great Cruz), etc. - all friendly and waiting to serve.
Then the dive shop. Can’t be better. Neil, the dive instructor, along with the dive masters, and boat captain are all there for your safety and fun. Three times a day the dive boat heads out for one of the countless dive spots out by the near by reef. Especially the second two daily trips are just what a snorkeler lives for. The boat stops; divers off to one side where deeper depths can be reached, and snorkelers set out right next to the reef where you won’t take a breath without seeing some great sea life. They offer a half day “discover dive” for those starting out and just want to see what it’s like, and if they want to continue with the 3 day certification class (also taught there). In short – the diving and snorkeling (which can even be done from the shore if you want) is wonderful.
The location. I rented a car for a day and traveled from one end of the island to the other. My thought was this. You have 3 different kinds of places to stay. First, the remote resort where when you are there – YOU ARE THERE. No night life; no gift shops, no town, no other places to eat, no other places to drink or hang out; just THERE. Second, you have the places in town which, for my taste, are loud (especially on Friday and Saturday nights); crowded; usually separated from the beach, and many – not very clean. And third, you have Luna Beach. Remote, but not too remote; located between West End (10 minute walk along the beach) and West Bay, has its own beach; has it’s own security; no sand flies, and in my mind – just the perfect location.
If you need someone to go back there and order your drinks for you – give me a call.

We wanted to thank the staff especially Lars for their wonderful hospitality and service. The food and drinks were wonderful as well. The resort exceeded our expectations in every way.
We have traveled all around the world and Luna Beach is our favorite Island resort.
We stayed in the 3 bedroom tropical house which was just so beautiful.
We will definitely be coming back in the future.
Thank you again for an incredible vacation.

We could not have picked a better place. The staff ecspecially Lars made our trip worth while. This will go into my log as one of my favorite vacations so much so I'm planning for next year. Our hopes are that all the wonderful people we enjoyed will be there as well. Thanks again Luna Beach!

My mom and I we're so pleased and amazed with LBR!!Out of all the resorts we researched and saw on the island, this one was the BEST one for us! The entire staff was amazing, friendly and helpful. We felt like we made a real connection with everyone. Our room was comfortable, the food was great, everything and everyone there made it our best mother daughter vacation yet! We will see you all again VERY soon.
I already miss it and we've only been home 2 days.

We had a lovely quiet stay at Luna Beach at the end of April (we must have avoided the cruise ships / weekends I think)! We stayed in the most basic room which had plenty of space and was just metres from our empty beach. We didn't barely need the pool as the beach was so perfect for a swim. As the restaurant was closing early we enjoyed our evening walks up to West End for a great choice of food. All the staff were really helpful at Luna Beach with all our requests.

We had only visited Roatan as a port of call from the Crusie ships prior to our time at Luna.
Great choice for a vacation destination and great resort for a week on Roatan!
The accomodations were superb and the staff so very freindly. The food at the Resort made it hard to go elesewhere even though we did some. The location with West End a short walk and West Bay Beach a pleasant hike in the mornings was perfect.
We really enjoyed the snorkeling, the trip to the East end of the Island, the swim with dolphins just to name a few.
A big thanks to Chuck and all the staff for a wonderful 8 days!

Before the time slipped away, I wanted to let you know what a WONDERFUL time we had in Roatan! I rather hate to tell everyone because I certainly don't want the island to lose its charm and become crowded!
Your resort is beautiful and after touring most of the island, we could not have been happier with our selection. It was great to be so close to town and we wandered to Sundowner almost every night for the best view of the sunset and adult beverages. Your staff was very kind to us, the dive staff was OUSTANDING and the diving was beyond belief!
My husband has always said that he doesn't understand why people vacation and visit the same place, but he is already talking about coming back to Roatan!
Thanks again for all your assistance!

Thank you everyone at Luna Beach! We hooked up with my sister and her husband for a Caribbean vacation at Luna Beach and we experienced a week in paradise. Our tropical house was perfectly secluded with a spectacular view of the ocean. Although none of us are divers, we experienced the best snorkeling ever. The dive staff even let us hop on the boat and go out to the reef to snorkel. At the end of the day we enjoyed meeting other guests at the dock for sunset and visiting. After sunset we either ate at Luna Beach restaurant or walked up the beach 10 minutes to enjoy the town of West End. At the end of the evening "in town", we loved walking back home along the beach to peaceful secluded Luna Beach.
Everyone at Luna Beach went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. I especially want to thank Debbie for her unbelievalble customer service. During the trip planning phase, Debbie's response time to my questions via email or telephone was incredible!
Chuck, you have created an amazing place!
