When we booked our reservation, after reading all of the wonderful reviews, we were looking forward to meeting Jack and Janet. Upon our arrival, we were met by Sarah and her father, who explained that they had just become the new owners. You won't be disappointed. She could not have been more accomodating. Upon her recommendation, we ate breakfast at Zamas, and dinner at La Zebra, both of which were excellent. We toured the nearby ruins of Tulum and Coba. We had a perfect stay and wish Sarah and family the best of luck with their new adventure.

We traveled for two weeks from Cancun to the Belize border, staying at five different properties over the 14 nights. I booked four nights in Tulum; two at Posada Luna del Sur, and two at Los Lirios. Both were based on tripadvisor information I researched before booking. As we are looking for a second home, we wanted community exposure from both the beach and town perspectives of Tulum. The beach was second to none in its beauty and low population density. Because of the high humidity and salty tradewinds, our clothing, books, cash, etc. quickly took on the sticky, salty feeling. Mind you, we are ocean lover water sign folks. So, we got our beach fix (which we got just as easily the other two days at the Evans' lovely abode). There was nothing we disliked about our stay. From the moment we pulled in, rang the bell, were greeted by Graham, to meeting Sarah and Marty, and the incredible towel art of Jesus, our stay was just perfect. We were so fortunate to be there when the penthouse palapa was started. What an experience to hear the story of how they pulled these massive wood supports up from the street by ropes. We also got to watch the rapid progress. The very best part though, is that we have a perfect excuse to return! We just HAVE to see that completed structure! We have traveled the world and stayed in everything from eco domes with no electricity to five star all inclusives, and have yet to encounter the friendliness and graciousness of the Evans family. Their intent is to connect with people, not only as fellow adventurers but also as fellow humans. There is no reason to stay anywhere else. If you, like us, just HAVE to hear the waves lull you to sleep at night, do it for a night but then quickly return to Posada Luna del Sur. Make no mistake, you will be delighted you did.

My husband and I stayed at Posada June 5th thru the 7th. We wanted an in town experience before staying on the beach the remainder of our trip. If you are looking for a very neat, cute, quiet, comfy place to stay within walking distance to shopping and eating, this is it!!! Sarah met us at the gate, took us to our room and was so helpful in showing us the best places to eat and helping us book a tour with Edventure Tours. She went above and beyond to help us with exactly what we wanted! We met her father, Graham, also who was more than happy to visit with us and show us some fun changes they are doing with the hotel. Sarah's boyfriend and brother were coming also to join them in running Posada. If you were like me, part of booking this hotel was based on the reviews of how great Janet & Jack were, but don't let that worry you one bit! Sarah and family are going to continue the tradition of how wonderful this place is with their own added touches! And did you notice the price?????? We loved everything about it and would do it all over again!

Forgive our tardiness in posting this review. Our stay at "Janet and Jack's place" was in February 2009. What can I say? It was just like staying with family. Janet gave us the lo-down on where to go and what to do when we first checked in and she was 'spot on' with great local advice! After our 4-night stay, we felt like old friends. We explored all the wonderful sights and activies that Tulum has to offer and came home each evening to their lovely hacienda. I can't say enough about their warm hospitality , the perfectly appointed and spotless rooms and their friendship. Highly, highly, rececommended. Our thanks and love to Janet & Jack from Susan and Bruce, NJ
