La Luz Beach Resort is a small resort on a property that has been privately owned for over 30 years and was recently opened to the public. The resort was only meant to be a hide away for a family of 13 children and hence the many rooms and a large pavilion. Guests normally are surprised that the cottages could be easily filled with just the immediate family alone.
A very relaxed atmosphere surrounds La Luz. The owners and management kept the resort very natural, and have gone out of their way to maintain the existing trees and have planted new ones along the way. Native materials have also been chosen as furnishings for the resort.
