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

Our experience far exceeded our expectations. The restaurant was the best food we had on the island and the accommodations were incredibly pleasant. I want to come back and stay longer. We did a hike to the 7 sisters and found this to be a fun and exciting addition to our trip.

Great place, nice and spread out. Good quality restaurant that doesn't gauge on food or wine price wise. The staff makes a special effort to deliver very personal service. Would definitely go back. Most resorts pack the rooms together, but this is a nice stretch of beach just shared by the guests in the 16 rooms.
