I’d like to start by thanking owners and magnificent hosts Bernardo and Wendy for making a dream a reality at Laluna, it is the epitome of ease, beauty and quality in every detail. Happy 20th anniversary to Laluna, I'm so greatful to have discovered this gem.
Look no further as you will not want to miss out on an experience like this where you can enjoy the best of nature, the beach, spectacular sunsets, art, amazing food, warm people, delightful cocktails and unparalleled personal service that is authentic. I spent a week here and will absolutely go back.
If you’re an SLH, Rosewood, Four Seasons, Ritz Reserve kind of traveler (I understand, me too) and you want the same level of luxury but packaged in a unique boutique experience with the laid-back ease of Bali then you’re in the right place. I can't imagine anyone who would not fall in love here. 16 cottages in total and a few larger villa's provide privacy and exclusivity without pretension or fuss.
If you have any reservations about the outdoor bathroom or mosquitos (I did initially, coming from FL with the best AC) have no fear, have no concern, have no hesitation... after 24 hours you’ll feel at one with Laluna as everything is top notch. I am not your boho chic kind of travel girl (I’m a lover of designer fashion at heart) and I definitely enjoy the luxury 5 star pristine resorts but this is a break from the norm, this is a dream, this is something that can only be be conceived by someone that has vision and artistry and this is not like anything that any hotel could ever design or that you could ever imagine. The “staff“ is like a family. They know your name you know their names, this is a truly unique experience where you can have the best of the both the sun and the moon, amazing food without having to leave the property, the option to do yoga in a beachfront pavilion, water sports and more the opportunities are endless. I can’t say enough good things and if you have the good fortune to meet the owners you'll feel as if it’s an extension of their home they take such pride in the guests experience.
Laluna is truly a vacation vibe designed for those that want to relax and have a good time. I could go on for hours about the food alone (fresh fish, authentic Italian food + ingredients, Caribbean spices), don't hesitate to try anything, the catch of the day is a must along with the octopus salad, I even tried lion fish for the first time. For an after dinner treat the nutmeg ice cream, Vin Santo and Amaro del Capo are not to be missed.
As I was leaving for the airport the chef popped out to say goodbye and that it had been a pleasure....the pleasure was truly all mine.
Thank you to the entire family at Laluna...Jamal, Lisa, Urban, Dwight, Trina, Enicka, Akim, Tracie and Kelly.
