This hotel is definitely a gem on the outer edge of Tulum. We say outer edge cause we didn't travel any farther South than Posada Luna del Sur. We didn't need to. The hotel is convenient to experiencing the culture that a real Mayan city has to offer. The rooms are clean, and have a tropical flair to them. The balcony is great too. We felt very safe staying here.

When we arrived on Feb 17, Janet greeted us personally and gave us a map of Tulum and told us where to find a good spot on the beach and which cenotes to see, as well as good advice on restaurants in the town. There are fabulous restaurants along the main road, and some of the best margarita's i've ever had at Don Cafeto's.

Unfortunately I arrived without my luggage, however Janet immediately offered us her home telephone to call the airlines. She made every attempt to make sure that I got it back and left several messages for the airlines. Turns out it traveled to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico City and finally Cancun before I got it over one day later.

If you're looking for Mayan culture in a town away from the Little USA of Cancun and Playa del Carmen, definitely visit Tulum and stay at the Posada Luna del Sur.

Thanks again Janet! We look forward to visiting Tulum again!

What a great find. The hotel is a small owner operated oasis in the town of Tulum. Janet (the owner) was instrumental to our trips success. Her suggestions & local knowlegde enabled us to explore many tourist & non-tourist attractions. Be sure to ask her about local places to eat.
The accomidations are inviting, quite, clean, comfortable & have the feel of returning home after exploring or laying on the beach each day.
If you are an explorer & desire to leave to beatiful beaches we recommend that you rent a car. Do so on line before you go as it is much cheaper than upon arrival(Advantage Car Rental were also excellent).
Go & enjoy.

Okay - so it's not on the beach, and it's not right in the centre of town. But it takes no time to get to the beach - there are always lots of very cheap taxis, get them to take you to 'beach club Paraiso' and rent a lounger near the bar - lovely. Town is only a few minutes walk from the Posada, go via the back streets, it's safer away from the traffic of the main road, is more involving, and you don't see the 'truck stop'. Go diving in a cenote whilst here, hidden worlds are a reliable friendly safety conscious company. Also - top tip - if you intend to travel by coach then take a jumper - they like setting the aircon to super cold!
