<<<<<<<<How did Luna Beach look accomodation and amenity wise? Is it in walking distance to West End as its noted as being a "stroll to west end" whatever that means!>>>>>>>>>>

OK...None of the resorts from what I saw are luxurious by our standards. But the place looked very comfortable and it looked like they were working hard to add amenities. The big screen TVs were going in while I was there. Comfort and ameneties-wise the place is definitely aimed at we Yanks. Personally, I may be inclined to book there were I to be looking to book another Roatan trip.

As for the stroll they talk about, it IS a fairly long walk, again, by our standards. But its only about 20 minutes. So if I were to be looking into Luna Beach I wouldnt be put off by it.

As for the places to go in West End. There are a few and you can barhop from one to the other in a matter of seconds. As you walk north along the beach from Luna youll find a locals mostly beachside place called Loafer's. Youll then get to the outskirts of town and trek thru till you get to what could be called downtown West End where youll find hostels and bargain hotels where all the europeans hang out. At the southern most end youll find the Swinging Monkey Bar (I believe thats what its called) One 20x20 foot bar and as many chairs, tables and swings as you can fit around it under one little roof. As in...Not enclosed. Further north there are two more large restaurant/bar Carlos N Charlie type place on piers over the water. Maybe one of them is called Fosters??? On weekends these large mega bars have a few "working girls" working so be careful. Then theres the Twisted Toucan on that beachfront street across from those places. Very small and social. My favorite of all these places. Semi enclosed as in only one wall and part of two more.

Hope you have fun,
