Posada Lamar would be perfect but for one problem: the beach is eroding on this stretch of Tulum. When I was there a huge wind storm blew up and took out huge chunks of the already narrowed beach in the area between Ana y Jose Weddings and the Retiro Maya. It washed out about half of the shaded area you... more

My wife and I just got back from a quick little trip down to Tulum. We stayed at Posada Lamar and in the Zafiro cabin. This place was exactly what we were looking for (see: "relax"). Zafiro Bungalow sits on the beach and a few steps from the water. The views are terrific and the rustic style of the resort... more

We loved our stay at Posada lamar and would definitely recommend it to other travelers. That said, a friend did just try to book a stay there and had trouble with their reservation system, so hopefully they'll get more organized. I thought the breakfasts were lovely, the staff friendly, and the location perfect. The smallness of the property was also... more

I just returned from a 5 night stay in Tulum. My wife and I chose Posada Lamar based on the reviews we read here on Tripadvisor and couldn't be more grateful to those who recommended it. We stayed in the Esmeralda suite, which is the cheapest of the cabanas, and we were very pleased with what we found when we... more

We stayed at Posada Lamar for four nights in early February. The rooms weren't ready when we arrived (we were a bit early) but Elise, the extremely friendly and helpful girl at reception said to go down to the beach and she'd come down to us when the rooms were ready. Off we went, down the sandy path to the... more

My boyfriend and I chose a romantic getaway to Posada Lamar from December 6-13th of 2008. We stayed in bungalow Zafiro and were very happy with our choice. Zafiro is truely the way to go for the best views, amazing access to the beach, and best chance at privacy on the resort! The bungalow was well designed with great use... more

When one says destiny... while in Palenque we shared the same restaurant table with another italian couple. They were on the way back from Tulum and highly recommended Posada Lamar saying that it was a genuine place. We then had a look at their web-site and immediately submitted our reservation. No words can be found to explain the beauty and... more

I stayed in bungalow Zafiro at Posada Lamar in May 2008 and I was really happy with my choice. After my 5 nights there I felt like I had truly "unplugged." Between the sun, the ocean, the breeze and the wonderful hammock on my porch - I found nirvana. I can be a bit of a TV junkie so it... more

I am not sure where to even start on this. First of all- no cancellation policy is listed or communicated and the person who books this is not anywhere close. The only people that are at the place are locals, who can make no decisions and only have the random cellphone. So if you get there and want to make... more

Let us start off by saying that we are by no means "hippies". We're not that couple that hitch-hiked from Costa Rica to Venezuela with their beach dog named Marley, sporting nappy dreads and carrying more pot than deoderant. We live in Manhatttan. While we are eco-conscious and adventure-seekers, we enjoy 20 minute showers and the occasional spa treatment. While... more
