Laluna Boutique Hotel & Villas

First time traveler to the "Spice Island" of Grenada and although most of my reviews are rather lengthy I may struggle to get out more than what I received at this resort. First things first it is located about 15min from the airport by car. There is NO Uber here but they do have a similar service using an app called "Haylup". I strongly suggest you use this if you decide not to use a rental car. Upon arrival I was greeted with a "Welcome Drink" from the bar...standard yet easy check in and a small tour around the property. My bags were transferred to the Villa (#5) and I was taken in a golf cart up a small hill and down some steps to the home away from home. First impression was that the pics online don't do the accommodations much justice. Its not as "Rustic" as it appears in photos. That was not a disappointing thing to me. The bed was what appears to be a king size, seating areas, nice cozy lighting, mosquito net around the entire bed and of a ductless AC that worked to perfection. Closet space, a digital safe and small fridge filled with overpriced soda and beer and a bottle of wine. 2 cans of equally overpriced pringles for snacks and from here we head to the restroom. The walls were painted blue...working sink, separate toilet room and a semi outdoor shower. I say semi because the shower is surrounded by 3 walls for privacy and there is in fact an overhead roof so its not necessarily "Outdoors" but the open air which is allowed threw an exit from the bathroom to the "Plunge Pool" and a large window with a bamboo shade allows for the outdoor feel. As I stepped out to the deck the "Plunge Pool" is simply that. Its design is small and looks more like a Jacuzzi but there are no bubbles. That would have certainly been a better feature but its more like a location to Sit and relax to cool off or at night to sit and star gaze. There is no light in the pool although one was clearly visible but didn't work so at night it wasn't operable unless u like to sit in the pitch black dark. In addition the filtration system was not working. I literally checked 3 times myself. I made a front desk call about it on day 2 but nobody ever came to fix the issue. I should also mention that a previous guest complained about the pool being dirty and never cleaned. I must add that although there was a reply by management to said post I can speak on my own account that not one time was my pool cleaned or did I see any pool cleaned for the duration of my entire stay. The pools all have a floating chlorine tablet in them and they give you a small net to clean out floating debris. But after using that several times I can say the water in my plunge pool was cloudy and the filtration pump was not working. So for the entire duration of my stay I didn't use the pool...that was disappointing. Other than that the villa itself is beautiful. Note they have European outlets primarily and one us type socket located in the cabinet with the mini fridge so if you are coming from the

Absolutely stunning location, beautiful views over the sea. Quiet, tucked away resort, with maybe 15 rooms. Nice huts with plunge pools and great outside areas for relaxing. Taxi is required to reach other restaurants or bars, but other than that, this was perfect for a quiet vacation.

This is a lovely , chic bohemian hotel Great touches like the enchanted forest, monkey bar and art felt like a mini festival vibe We stayed in the beach bungalow Very private but close enough to the bar and restaurant area. The sea was a little rough when we stayed and gets deep pretty quick so maybe exercise care with small children Every day we had the room nicely cleaned and the turn down service This was a delightful touch as we made use of the coffee making facilities and each day everything was washed and ready for next morning No bugs or lizards in our room, the outside opening bathroom was spacious and clean We were advised to use the bathroom fan so it didn’t get stuffy, which worked Good Aircon and mosquito nets in the room so not bothered by bugs at all Comfortable bed, lots of storage and walk in wardrobe Honestly the best room option For the most part the staff were delightful , welcoming and friendly Food was adequate like most of the places we stayed in Grenada Better than many on the island but not international standard I guess the reason why this has an Italian restaurant is that is what most visitors prefer We would have preferred more local options. Breakfast eggs, fish often over cooked which was a shame given the ingredients were so good. Unimaginative sides. Pasta was excellent though, al dente and tasty We did choose to eat out more as a consequence but apart from a couple of other places I don’t think Grenada is a place for foodies Wholesome and filling is what you get which is fine. Bar service and drinks were excellent as was the spa which we visited and enjoyed a Balinese massage Daily yoga/pilates were very welcoming and situated in a wonderful pavilion on the beach. Excellent well equipped small gym with new equipment, well maintained and clean I would rate this an excellent boutique hotel Very friendly welcome with tour of the grounds and expert demonstration of room facilities Wifi coverage all over the resort including the beach La luna thanks for making our weeks stay so pleasant and trouble free Friendly thought Maybe a buffet dinner or breakfast, featuring some local foods ( The Belmont estate does an excellent buffet) We heard that your monkey bar did an “oil down” which we didn’t have time to experience due to leaving on that day and I also heard that maybe an outdoor kitchen being installed there? Maybe that would address some of the food options All in all I would thoroughly recommend this hotel over the International all in resorts on Grand Anse, far nicer!
