The dive shop and the dive staff are first class at this resort but the resort itself has problems. In fact the dive shop is miles above the standard of everything else at this location.
The facility and the rooms could be 5 star but sadly that is not the case.
I was there a week ago and the much vaunted Italian chef was somewhere else! The food was so bad it was unbelievable so we decided to explore the local restaurant scene for dinner above and beyond the all inclusive deal.
The culinary highlights on offer at Media Luna included the following:
They repeatedly ran out of bread
If you want bacon with your eggs get down quickly in the morning for breakfast.
If you want the ingredients in your omelet cooked, be prepared to train whomever is at the omelet station.
If you enjoy meat tougher than your shoe leather, this is the place for you.
If you think potatoes can only be cooked or adulterated with garlic butter, you will be in heaven.
If you like deserts go somewhere else, as the same three tasteless baked items were on the menu each day for the whole week, at every meal.
If you or your spouse wants a breakfast later than 09:00, forget it. On the occasion that this was put to the test, a ($3) snickers bar from the dive shop and a coffee had to suffice.
There is nothing available to eat after the dinner service, even if you are willing to pay for it.
Our group concluded that the cook must have been called Merlin, after the magician. The reason being, it would have taken a magician to convert otherwise good ingredients into such garbage.
The bar closes at 23:00, so sadly there is a limit to drowning your sorrows at Media Luna.
Overall, I would strongly suggest that you forget this place and try somewhere else for your vacation.
