Luna Sea Inn

We stayed at the Luna Sea Inn recently. The room had been booked some months ago as part of a family event. We did not read the recent review (January, Mike B) that talked about the poor state of the venue until just before we traveled and went with some trepidation. While it is true that the place needs some renovation and improvements to meet many visitors’ expectations, we found some of the complaints to be no longer an issue. The room we were in was fairly basic, but it was clean and the plumbing and lighting worked. We found the staff responsive when we asked for additional towels or other room amenities. The building had been recently painted and they were continuing to work on some of these basic maintenance tasks. It appeared that they had recently acquired some new lawn furniture, but the porch furniture for the rooms was old and not in the best shape. The pool, which is more of a sitting and drinking pool, was not working. If you want to lie on the beach and go swimming in the sea, this is probably not the place for you. The small beach is beside the hotel and not private. You also need a car to see most places, though the hotel will arrange a car or van at your own expense. The food continues to be excellent and we had many delicious meals there. Service is sometimes slow, but if you are on vacation and not pressed to go off site, the wait can be pleasant as there is water alongside the dining room. They also seem to do well with special events, weddings and group dinners, with nice decorations and good service. In sum, this is a decent place if you want to just hang out and decompress. If you want to be near lots of action or crave major beach time, this is probably not the place for you

A beautiful spot The parking was easy and the hotel is in a lovely position surrounded by blue sea. We were warmly welcomed with complimentary bottles of water and a welcome rum punch or beer. We were also given an upgrade to a front facing room which was much appreciated. The super king sized bed was really comfortable. There was a large fridge, kettle and mugs provided, just take your own coffee. The shower had plenty of hot water. The air con unit is quiet and works well, it is peaceful and we slept really well. You get a lovely sunset which we enjoyed from the gazebo which is lit with fairy lights. Dinner and breakfast were both excellent in quality and the menus are really nice, although some of the ingredients may be missing (Greek salad minus the feta) The callaloo parcels were just divine! I wanted the chefs signature herb crusted chicken but was warned off by the waitress saying it would take an hour to cook. Instead we ordered chicken pasta and goat curry which then took over an hour and a half to arrive. By the time our main course arrived 2h after we’d initially sat down we were past wanting to eat much. The locals seem to know to order in advance so it is ready when they arrive. If we had stayed longer, we would have done that for breakfast and dinner. It was the only thing that we didn’t like, you do want to wait over an hour for breakfast.

the whole place is undermaintened, we could hear loud bad words from the staff from the kitchen, rooms needs painting, the bathrrom roof leaks. the place is definitely not good value for money. i would never return there

The restaurant staff was nice and the food was authentic and tasty.

We booked a delux room months in advance, but we’re told that the travel agents mislead us, we had hours of negotiations until they “did us a favour” and found a room for us where the lights actually worked and had been serviced. The property is more not just tired, it’s dilapidated, like the owners have given up. The pool is basically a eight foot hot tub - so filmy that I saw NO ONE use it. Broken safes and dodgy wiring. A single light worked. Room service did not happen despite putting a card out @08:00, by 18.00 still no clean. Excuses for everything - slow safe engineers, miss allocation by the travel agent at reception and the owner. Conversely the restaurant food is very good and the serving staff are wonderful. I would no recommend until the place is totally refurbished.
