La Luna Beach Resort — Local services in Eastern Samar

La Luna Beach Resort is a good retreat if you are in dire need of R&R. The owners & manager/chef are an Italian-Filipina couple who are very hands on. The Italian Chef prepared us a sumputous meal for our dinner. The ambiance is very relaxing. Our accommodation was a nice treat compared to the usual resort rooms, and it was clean!

Tha only suggestion I could make was to place a net barrier at the beach to clear out huge piles of seaweeds swept at the ocean floor. I was actually rooting for looong hours of dipping into the pacific ocean, but quite disappointed by the vast occupation of the weeds--they scare me. Hehe And maybe improve our running water connection at the bathroom on the 2nd floor.

Kudos to the owners who accommodated us to the best of what's available during this global...

It's a bit of a journey from Tacloban to get to La Luna, the last bit on a dirt road, but it's definitely worth the trip. I recommend the seaview rooms, which are spacious and have great views. There was no hot shower available. The food is excellent (good breakfast included) and reasonably priced considering the quality. As everything is freshly prepared, wait times can be long, but this is tackled by pre-ordering your food. The pool was smaller than expected and the beach is full of sea weed. The owners are very easy going and pleasant to deal with. Just a few kilometers away is the Linao Cave and Lagoon, which is definitely worth a visit. Really beautiful with crystal clear water for a memorable swim and only 15...

We did not expect to find a place where the food is real, authentic, homemade italian., in a far flung Sulangan in Guiuan. The panzerotti is as italian as its name. the sausages and tomato sauce are made fresh and does not taste like it came from a tin can. the rooms are air conditioned and designed such that one can forget that you are still in samar. because i love wooden furniture, i appreciated the heavy hardwook chairs and tables. the room rates with free breakfast are cheaper and worth it than some hotels, the pool is free to be used until the wee hours. most of all, there were no bands and loud music that would have kept me awake all night. Thanks so much for taking...
