Laluna Boutique Hotel & Villas

Grenada, Caribbean

Virgin rating

The hotel

This boutique Caribbean getaway is located in Portici Bay and has just 16 cottage and villas, guaranteeing peace and privacy. Laluna has been designed to incorporate a blend of Caribbean, Italian and Balinese influences in the architecture and style. This blend of cultures also extends to the dining experience as the restaurant serves a bounty of Italian dishes created with local organic produce, opening directly onto the beach so you can dine with spectacular views of the sea. Laluna embodies the slow pace of Grenada life by providing you with many ways to get that well deserved R&R, so book yourself in for a traditional Balinese massage and let your worries slip away. The most magical time of the day, however, is sunset - head to the bar and ask for the 'Sunset Point Carry Bag', and enjoy a glass of wine with a glorious view.

Everything was wonderful especially the staff. The water was clean, the hotel was marvelous, the food was delicious, the drinks were tasty, and the villa was perfect. What more could you expect! WE will definitely consider a return visit next year.

Looking for a fantastic place to release stress and anxiety and reconnect to the world? We were, and spending a week at Laluna Resort worked wonders. The spot is unique: a secluded beach bounded by two promontories where tropical trees grow in the sand offering a calming shade, the water is emerald and pristine and the only sound you may hear comes from the birds, the wind blowing through the leaves and the gentle lapping of the waves. The resort is beautifully embedded in the rock, perfectly in tune with the nature all round. Super clean and kept superbly well. The staff is amazing, friendly, polite, and always available. Although there are outside restaurants around, we ended up eating at the resort, since we liked the atmosphere and the food, of course: an interesting combination of Italian cousins mixed with tropical flavors. What else??? Ah, yes: Bravi, Bernardo e Wendy, a presto! Kip & Cristina Read less

LaLuna was maybe one of my favorite resorts. First off Grenada was a beautiful place to visit and the vast majority of local people we spoke to were incredibility friendly and hospitable. We stayed in a deluxe cottage with Caribbean Sea View which was truly amazing. I would classify as refined rustic. The views from your front porch, your bed, and even your open air but enclosed shower are incredible. I would have loved air conditioning in the bathroom, but the unit in the bedroom would have to suffice. Although there is only one restaurant the food was excellent with enough options for several meals there that week. The service was second to none. Everyone was extremely friendly and none of it felt forced or contrived. Although the pool and beach area is smaller, there is no need for anything more since it is so private with so few guests. Definitely visit the spa! The Balinese Couples Massage was incredible. We will definitely be returning and cannot say enough good things about the resort or the staff. Read less

My husband and I visited Laluna to celebrate my birthday on Thursday, March 14, 2024.

My husband and I visited Laluna to celebrate my birthday on Thursday, March 14, 2024. We purchased the $99 US per person day pass which included a morning yoga class, two-course lunch, 2 cocktails each, and access to common areas, shower, pool, beach chairs and WiFi. Check-in was casual and we were given a brief tour by a staff member. However, the extended check-in process meant that I arrived slightly late for the Vinyasa yoga class, led by an older white male instructor, which felt particularly awkward for a few reasons. The beach at Laluna was picturesque, but the surf was really rough, making swimming unpleasant. I even stepped on a piece of cactus in the water and had to pull a spine out of the sole of my foot, which was painful. We took a stroll to the neighbouring Silversands Beach House, which is newly opened and gorgeous. Lunch at Laluna was a mixed experience. For starters, my husband had the Caesar salad, which he found to be mediocre because of the milky dressing that doesn't resemble Caesar dressing. I had the jar callipo tuna and white beans, which was excellent. For the main course, I had the grilled fish with vegetables, which was quite good. His Laluna sandwich was average with the same milky dressing. The service was disappointingly slow, and we spent too much time waiting, as the entire meal took 2 hours to complete, which is ridiculous for a casual lunch. The server kept disappearing or ignoring us. After relaxing on the beach, we used the private bathroom, which was well-equipped with full size bath and body products and towels. Just be sure to turn on all the lights (as the lights are motion activated and turn off while in the shower). For dinner, we arrived just before 6:00 to choose a great table to enjoy the sunset. I enjoyed a delicious raw fish tartare topped with a very spicy raw green leafy veg (perhaps callaloo). For the main course, the lobster was not available. I had the conte artisanal pasta al ragu, which was average. My husband had the pumpkin ginger soup for his appetizer followed by "spicy Thai peanut chicken curry" on noodles, which were disappointing but that is to be expected at an Italian restaurant in Grenada. We spent EC 282.83 for a two course dinner for two ($104.75 US) without drinks. Service at dinner was better than at lunch. Despite it being my birthday, there was no acknowledgment from the staff at any point during the day or night. They definitely knew it was my birthday as I had mentioned it twice (prior to our arrival in Grenada) when making and confirming the reservations on WhatsApp. While Laluna has its boho chic rustic charms, including a beautiful tiny beach and amenities, the overall experience was marred by slow, inattentive service, a lack of attentive hospitality, and average food quality. With some improvements, it could be a fantastic destination. Read less
