Media Luna Resort And Spa

Welcomed from the moment we arrived. Excellent staff. Always helpful and friendly. Quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Felt like you were living in the rain forest for a week.Good selection of food at every meal without a lot of repetition. Dive center on site and very helpful staff. Decent snorkeling close to shore and opportunity to explore with boat trips from dive center. Cabanas are very nice. [Details]

We had a great time here. We really enjoyed our stay. We were a party of 4, 2 couples...The other couple were coffee drinkers and there really wasn't any available before 7 am and we all are early risers. You could purchase it from the Winery Services at a cost. Bring your own Water Bottles to refill for the room!! We did and we were fine, and also to get your daily drinks in, it will be better than paper cups. Bring bug spray as after a rain the "no seeums" bugs come out like crazy. We did not let it dampen our holiday!! [Details]

If you don't go expecting 4 or 5 star luxury and are willing to go with the flow this is a beautiful location. The diving and snorkelling are incredible, the grounds and colours are beautiful. Go expecting less and you will be pleasantly surprised by how much it exceeds your expectations . DO NOT do the super saver rooms. Cabanas are worth the extra [Details]

The Media Luna staff were amazing, the food was great, the location was perfect for off the beach snorkeling. The room in the cabana section was a great surprise. The location is remote, but that was a good thing. [Details]

Very nice ,quiet secluded,out the way resort.Food was great.Only 1 bar with basic drinks.Service was excellant.Landscaping was beautiful with lots of birds and lizardsDid not have any problem with sand fleas or mosquitos Snorkling and diving paradise Pigeon Cay snorkling tour will be a great surprise and well worth it. [Details]

Excellent vacation with friends. We went in July so it was very quiet, I hear it's quite busy in prime time. The beach is small but clean and opens out into a bay that is very quiet. We hired a driver (Ever) and went to West Bay and West End, definitely worth the trip! [Details]

Would definitely go back but only for a week this time because the beach is too small & you cant walk it. I would also suggest water shoes since its very rocky getting in but wonderful all the same when you are in. I would take my paddle board & for sure you should take a floaty device because it was so hot in Roatan that you needed to be on or in the water! Its very peaceful & a great spot to meet people if you want to. [Details]

Resort staff was amazing, food was really good, great beach...nice accommodation but need upgrading. Our shower had water going all over the floor and rooms are a bit dated. Beach is nice and private, entertainment crew and all of the staff are amazing. Could use better alcohol and better selection of both drinks and beer. Bring in local beer like Berena, Salva Vida and Imperial and get rid of Stroh's!! Great place for quiet, remote vacation, really enjoyed it but makes for long days when rainy...would have rather have been at West Bay on those days. If you don't mind the isolation and remoteness of the resort then you'll love it here...more positives than negatives that's for sure. Nice snorkeling here as well, not the best on the island but better than most Carribean destinations! [Details]

The Media Luna Resort & Spa in Roatan, Honduras was a very nice hotel. However this is not the place to be if you're mobility is in anyway handicapped. Capability to walk on uneven surfaces is a must. Everyone at this resort were extremely friendly and very helpful. They went out of their way to please you. The resort is far away from any of the tourist areas. It is close enough to town if you want to travel by car for 1/2 - 1 hour. [Details]

Stayed here for 2 weeks (July 25th to august 8th) service was excellent, food was great, and the animators were so much fun to hang out with! Shout out to Denis and his team!!! ;) and for the divers, this is the place to go!! [Details]

3 of us - Wife and I and our 14 year old boy stayed March Break 2016 -read description and reviews the last few months- (below) it ended up to be exactly what we wanted/as reviewed . Would recommend this resort for not just divers and snorkelers ( fantastic reef is 100 metres away from dive shop) -but just for pure relaxation with no crowds . It was sooo quiet- even when nearly full Monday to Friday - and then when mainlanders/locals stayed on weekend - still not all that busy - no fighting for loungers anywhere . Activity crew- especially Kelly Moses were wonderful - genuine people-who enjoyed their jobs . Food - wonderful - far better than Cuba DR and Jamaica 4 stars (Wicked HAMburgers one day for lunch) - repetition is not a concern - amphitheater restaurant is unique.All fish dishes were great - french fries/chips - (home made) at lunch were good (most batches) .The wine - Red - the worst home made could not be worse than what they tried to serve - no one drank it- the white - needed 7up to cancel sourness .. It is the Caribbean - the rum is good . The Beer (Breda) in cans was good - low end German import .The wifi was decent - in reception and restaurant .

Recommendations to management - No massage displays at dinner -way tooo tacky - cut the Spa name out-it is not a Spa . Replace broken umbrellas - (2) does not look well - use ventilation fans in bathrooms - to prevent mold . other than that - wonderful cabanas - very unique - so glad no elevators- this resort is not for the very infirm-Explain why the activity crew stand at entrance every meal - as most members do not have great English - and are shy to ask if they can sit with you -
Future visitors - bring sandals you do not need and shirts - backpacks - school supplies - the hotel will give to charity - ask at reception for 1 USD bills - Tip generously - and do not forget the grounds people - especially Carlos the beach and pool guy - what a nice guy- his dream was fulfilled with my Nike sandals - average wage there is 50USD/ month -activity crew - 200 USD - a dollars goes a long way .Enjoy the Media Luna - and I hope the owners upkeep -so can visit again soon .

Room Tip: 150 is good -near to reception-and wifi bring your own snorkel gear-50 bucks at sportschek [Details]

Well I have been blessed from the Lord to visit this place now 12 times. And everytime it gets better.. I have fallen In love with the staff and management and even to the maids and garderners. Now this place might not be for everyone, You must like good food, great atmopher,like to laugh, love the ocean, stress free , above average accomadations. Diving,and a peace with nature. If your the up tight person...go to cancun...I have a family of 4 and feel 100percent safe. Hope everyone gets to exsperence this Heaven on earth exsperence as much as family and friends have. Pappiiiiii [Details]

I have been to this hotel 6 or 7 times with friends and by myself. When I travel by myself I feel very safe. There is excellent security at the resort.
The staff at the reception desk are great. They are the nicest reception staff I have met. I have travelled to many places in the Caribbean and I just keep going back here!!!!! I call it my second home and all the staff treat you like family. They have many customers from around the world that keep coming back year after year.

You will the grounds are really clean and well-kept. You get your own individual cabana so you have no one above you, below or beside you. The rooms are very private and quiet. The rooms are very spacious. They are air-conditioned and there is s fridge in each cabana.
You get two bottles of water in your fridge when you check in. Keep these bottles and you can refill them with water at the bar, lobby or wherever you see the bottled water machines in the resort. You can't really drink the tap water on the island. You can buy bottled water on the island when you go on tours. The ice at resorts and bars is safe because they use purified water. There is a buffet and there is all types of different food every day. They also have snacks at the pool every morning. Something different everyday. They also have special a-la-carte meals. You will have to check with Becky and Kimberley at the reception.

Lorenza the manager goes out of her way to make sure that you have the best holiday and every time I come home I say it was the best holiday. It always tops the holiday before. I don't know how, but it does. They have daily activities. The scuba diving is fantastic. There are daily trips to different places and events. There is something for everyone.
Sometimes the Internet is down but it always comes back and let's face it that happens at home. And the Internet is included in the price. A lot of places in the Caribbean charge a lot to use the Internet by the hour or day and it can get very expensive. I know because my son had to get a package from home when he went to Cuba (and it was so expensive).
The island is so beautiful. The people are fantastic and tourism is their number one source of income for most people. I have travelled for many years and I have travelled to many different parts of the Caribbean (I have been to Mexico, Jamaica, Cuba, Panama, Dominican Repulic, Barbados and Bahamas as well as Florida, Portugal, Ireland and coast to coast in Canada and throughout the USA) and I have met many staff at these different resorts but if I could only travel to one place it would be to my second home, Roatan. Even my friends and family know how much I love it and why I call it my second home. Every person I have met at the resort and off are lovely. They treat you with true kindness that comes from the heart. They love their jobs and family life is very important to them and they treat each person like they are family. You will see that when you check in. Make sure you tell them Miss Carole says hello!!!! They want to make sure you have the best time. And if you happen to be there when I'm there (usually in February/March) just ask at the front desk and they will find me. If you need to know anything or want to go anywhere just check with Becky or Kimberley.
Miss Lorenza is there usually everyday (except her day off) and she always wants to make sure you are having a great holiday. Since I have been going I have many friends on the island. I have met doctors from Doctors Without Borders. I've attended a church with a friend I met on the island and now I'm part of her family.
From the moment you get there and are met by the people at the airport until the time you leave you will wish that everyone at home was as nice as the people in Roatan!!!! Not that everyone at home is not nice. There are no clubs on the resort but there are buses that go to the clubs.
I gave met many people young and old and there is something for everyone. [Details]

I just returned from my stay at Media Luna on June 20th, it was my second visit to Media Luna, and of course it did not disappoint and was better than the first time. I think I fell in love again. There are no words to fully explain how beautiful this place is. But more than just the beauty, it is the people that work there that make the experience absolutely wonderful. From the moment you step off the plane to when you unfortunately have to leave, every person you meet at Media Luna always greets you with a smile.
The food and the cooking/serving staff are perfect. The food was always fresh and I loved the fact that you get a little taste of authentic food there. Thank you very much to all the serving and cooking staff who were always ready to get you whatever you needed.
The rooms at Media Luna are very spacious and have everything you could ever want. The balcony is such a perfect touch, sitting out there was one of my favorite things to do. Thank you to the cleaning staff, the rooms were always so clean.
A BIG SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE ANIMATION TEAM, who honestly made my experience there so amazing. Specifically thank you to Alberto, Tyron, Andrea, Umberto, Fernanda, and Kenny (Bartender). Each and every one of them made my experience there so special, it felt as if we have been friends for years. They made my vacation so much more special, filled with laughter, amazing memories and people who i can call friends. Truly a big thank you.
Media Luna is a perfect vacation and if you love to snorkel or scuba, it is the place to be.
Can't wait to go back again. [Details]

Love the private cabanas. Also, each has private veranda with hammock.Small resort means staff and guests get to know each other and newfriends are made on site. Very pretty paths to walk, several small beaches, walk around bay to altetnate decks for suntanning or views. Awesome tiered seating in restaurant. Early evening entertainment and lively outdoor dance parties. Huge bathrooms, king beds. [Details]

Nice concept , but falls short on execution [Details]

Right from the airport there was confusion about transportation..ended up 3 vehicles had to be used.Check in was ok for some..our room was ready but the maid hadn't turned in our key..not very helpful or caring at front desk.Most of the other workers seemed to care more..especially wait staff..bartenders didn't really seem to appreciate the tips. Very laid back resort with really nice snorkeling right off the beach.Trip to Little French Key was way overpriced and taxis to West Bay are expensive..although food and drink was reasonable there.Would not go back to Honduras again..Mexico seems to be a better deal and the people are friendlier. [Details]

Aesthetically beautiful resort.

Individual Cabanas with almost 300 sq. ft. of living pace 100 sq. ft. bathroom and over 200 sq. ft. private deck. Bathroom has rainfall shower, two sinks, toilet and bidet. King size bed. Reasonably big flat screen t.v.

Main area has large lobby, 2nd floor games room and leads to the large theatre room where all meals are served. Tiered levels of tables and chairs.

Food was tasty and there was a reasonable selection daily. Set meal times of 7-9:30 a.m. for breakfast, 12:30-2 p.m. for lunch and 6:30-8:30 p.m. for dinner. Some snacks available at the bar between meals. The resort doesn't offer 24 hour all inclusive meals and drinks but it was never advertised as such. The bar is open from 9 a.m. until 11 p.m. so there's a 14 hour window to get drinks.

Friendly and helpful staff. Many have a good command of English so I didn't have to use my broken Spanish very often.

Great resort for rest and relaxation. Ideal for couples looking to spend time together. Not a party resort- if that's your thing, try the sister hotel - Henry Morgan in West Bay.

Two man-made beaches which were fine. Tiered resort meaning that there were lounge chairs at the pool level, then a level with wicker furniture, then a row of lounge chairs and the bottom row of lounge chairs at the beach. Never had a problem finding a place o sit and relax.

Great resort for diving. Boat dives, reef dives from the dock, shark, wreck and night dives available. Some divers would go out 2 or 3 times a day. Prices reasonable.

Not a lot of activities going on because half of the patrons were out on dives but yoga, stretching, water aerobics and pool volleyball happened regularly.

Bring bug spray. Tiny little no see ums will find you throughout the resort. Itchy swelling the next day- bring After Bite Gel. Best to use bug spray then tanning lotion.

Avoid getting sick here or anywhere by 1)wash your hands regularly, 2) don't change your diet too much, 3) realize that drinking lots of alcohol over a week may cause tummy concerns. Use common sense. I like going to the two specialty tables where food is cooked to order. Eggs any style and breakfast enchiladas are usually two options in the morning, the usually have a pasta station for lunch and dinner and a special meat entre for dinner like pork roast.

Pool is nice but a little shallow- about 3-1/2 feet deep. Ocean is shallow and warm. Use water shoes to protect against coral and sea urchins but otherwise all is good.

Resort is a little isolated and taxi fares are high and bizarre. Taxis charge per person. If 1 person was going somewhere, the ride would cost say $20. If 4 people were going, the same ride would cost $80. Same car, same driver, same amount of gas. It wasn't a problem since we didn't feel the need to leave except for a couple of group excursions.

Full day island tour at $75 was worth it and we had an hour at the Henry Morgan Resort for drinks and lunch to get a feel for the sister resort.

Overall the resort was great and gave me what I was looking for- rest and relaxation with a great sense of security and comfort. [Details]

Honduras will be quite the vacation spot in the near future.
We relaxed by the pool drinking endless rum drinks and sunning ourselves for 12 hours daily. It's what we wanted to do and it was all we did. [Details]

We had a fantastic time at the Media Luna Resort and Spa. We would definitely return to this resort in the future. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. This resort offers a very relaxed environment. It is very nice, small, quiet, remote and private. If complete escape to rest and relaxation are what you are seeking then this is the resort for you. [Details]

If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway and you like to snorkel this is the ideal location. The cabanas are well spaced and you have your own deck and hammock. The food is great, lots of fruit and salads, your choice of vegetables, pork, chicken and fish. Fresh bread two soup choices, you will not go hungry. The staff is very polite and friendly and ask you if you would like to join in the activities but the do not try to force you to participate. There is a games room a small gym and free wifi in the lobby if you want to stay in touch with family and friends back home. By eleven pm everything is quiet, in my opinion this is a plus for this hotel ! But the best feature is the snorkelling right off the dive dock. The variety of fish is amazing ! So if you are looking for a relaxing getaway this hotel will meet your needs ! [Details]

Snorkelling was great! Food was below expectation. There was a lack of choices and variety particularly for breakfast. If you're a light breakfast eater, there is no yogurt or cottage cheese and the margarine for toast is like lard. There was often a shortage of wine glasses and coffee mugs. Fruit were traditional choices like watermelon and cantaloupe that you can get at home. Ran out of white wine (in bottles) once and ran out of beer at restaurant once although it was available at the bar. The beach is almost non-existent and you have walk over stones at the water's edge. Not much sandy bottom. However, snorkelling is great at and around the diving centre and that was the basis for our decision to go to this resort since we had read all the negatives before going. This hotel should be rated no more than 3 stars. [Details]

We had a great week at the Media Luna Hotel. We stayed from February 24th until March 3rd. Rooms are beautiful, location is nice, there is always a breeze so you never get too hot. There is always a variety of food and we never went hungry. There is a snack served at the bar an hour before lunch & dinner. Drinks were always tasty! A week in paradise [Details]

This is a very small resort. There were lots of deserted rooms, or rooms being renovated near the dive shop. This is a very tired resort. There has been no upkeep. The workout room is disgusting. The workers work hard in the dining room but it is mainly do it yourself, help yourself. The only thing they do is clear your dishes. This resort could be better but they need to do some work; landscaping, maintenance and improving customer service. The worker that brought you your lawn chair cushions was very nice and hard working. The bar on the deck, well there only is one, it looks like it has black mold on the electrical sockets. [Details]

We got eaten alive by no-seeim bugs. Itchiest vacation of our lives. The grounds need to be cleaned up if this problem is going to be addressed. Had to have our cabin fumigated twice for onslaught of ants.....thousands of them crawling up the outside of the building twice during our 7 day stay. Food variety was limited. Bring lots of bug spray. Snorkeling was fine and Kayaks available. Nice area for these activities. Housekeeping was lacking. Floors did not seem to be swept on a daily basis. Shortage of face cloths and towels, at times. Pool was fine but cleaning occurred around 10 am. Grounds needed cleaning earlier. Water from the tap was not drinkable but drinking water was available at different places in the main area. Some smell from the water bottles (little sulfur) provided for drinking water. People were great. [Details]

We had a great time. Yes there are some improvements needed. The road going into the resort needs a lot of work done on it. The staff needs to learn more English as it took us at least 20 minutes for the waiter in the restaurant to understand that we wanted to order a bottle of red wine. Sand fleas a huge problem. I came home with over 200 bites and I did use bug spray.
Now for the positive. The check in was quick and the cabannas are fantastic. The food was what you would expect, but you do not go hungry. The beach is small but well maintained. The island is beautiful and the tour with Miss Rose was very informative. She does know her island. If you like seafood go on the trip to Gio's. My mouth is still watering, it was fantastic. [Details]

Good relaxing vacation nice and quiet. Not a star more like a 3 but we knew what to expect. food is average and became a little repetitive, a bbq would have been nice for all of the Canadians. Wish the booze was a little better, liquor was ok but beer was American not local. Lots of available chairs and the deck areas around the pool and beach were nice. hard to find some shade at times but we aren't complaining as we went for the sun. There are mosquitoes and sand fleas and we did get a few bites however we never needed our bug spray. Maybe it is our norther Ontario blood but we found the bugs easily tolerable while others had large amounts of visible bites. Room & deck was nice. [Details]

My family and I adore this resort, from the staff, papi!!!!! Manja manja .. Lol.. The resort was like being in a jungle with your own cottage. The rooms were totally cozier than most. Food was out standing . Fish... Wow!! Dont listen to the other critics they eat McDonalds on a regular bases and wouldn't know good food. The diving was awsome.. Shout out to the crew, Derry,Lewis,Ricko, and the captain Kevin. Special shut out to the servers which made are holiday experience amazing, David, elgardo and all my papis.... Lol.. This is a making of something special... See you guys soon..... [Details]

We knew it's a rain season, expected some wet during the week. But not like that for sure: 4 days of pouring water, crazy wind, thunderstorm; 2 days of shower, 1 day of sun clouds. Knew food is not that good - but breakfast without yogurt, oatmeal, natural juice, boiled eggs, vegetables?... Service and entertainment are very inferior.
But all those things are nothing comparing to the beach and ocean- really beautiful at first,with a reef good for snorkeling - on a second day of our vacation it got covered with a tons of garbage!!! They said it came from the main land, washed by heavy rain...Stayed there for days!...No comments. Our long-waited vacation was ruined!!! Never come back, neither our friends. [Details]

Food was excelent. Team work was great, I even saw the owner greating guests at the airport arrival and departure. Private casa's for everyone were clean, private, confortable beds, and well renovated. Great activities during the day: In pool: (stretching, aquafitness, volleyball), walking group at 4pm. Kayaking, snorkling, diving centre. I went deep sea fishing and hotel cooked fish and reserved private tables decorated with flowers for us. Island tour showed lots of the island. Beaches were beautifull and in a bay away from huge waves. Gorgeous flowers everywere on the resort. Night intertainment : show, kareoke, profesionnal smooth romantic singer. Never missed out on anything and staff was calm, smiling, profesional, respectful. Free wi-fi in the lobby. Located alone at the end of the island, so harder to access to buying souvenirs, but island tour or shopping tour covers it all, great because not harrased by locals or boats on beach. The hotel was fully reserved of guests and it still looked empty, so I didn't feel over crowded. [Details]
