“The Secret to a Perfect Tulum Vacation!”

Posada Luna del Sur

No wonder this charming little inn is rated the No.1 hotel in Tulum! The rooms are attractive, comfortable and immaculate; the grounds are lovely and tranquil; and each day the housekeeper surprises you with a new work of flower-bedecked towel art. But what really sets Posada Luna del Sur apart is the personal welcome from owner/managers Janet and Jack. Janet's recommendations on beaches, restaurants and sight-seeing enabled us to make the most of our short stay. She also introduced us to Manzanos Expeditions, a terrific group of guides who customized a fabulous and affordable eco-tour just for us. We spent a morning snorkeling through a private cenote and an afternoon watching wild monkey families in a jungle reserve. Wow, what a vacation and what wonderful people! We can't wait to go back.

Just a quick one to say Posada Luna del Sur surpassed our expectations. It was like staying at a family member's home. Janet is so kind and helpful, Jack is laid back and fun, and the place itself is clean, functional, and excellent value. We recommend it to anyone vacationing in Tulum.

Me and my girlfriend went to Tulum last week and we had the pleasure and the onor to meet Jack and Janet and we stayed in their Hotel.

Few words just to say: "Posada Luna del Sur is the perfect place to stay in Tulum. It's is like a family".

Thank you so much Jack and Janet.

Also we would suggest to the people, if they are interested to discover the amenities of Mexico the "Manzano's Expeditions" tours. GREAT!

After having read all the positive reviews of Posada Luna del Sur was there really a choice? The place lived up to its expectations and then some. The owners, Janet and Jack, are what make the place special. The place feels like home and the owners are more than willing to accomodate you in every way. We had a family tragedy back home in Massachusetts on our third day in Tulum, and Janet and Jack went above and beyond their duty to keep us connected to our family members. We ended up using their computer to email and call relatives in the U.S and never did we feel as though we were a bother to Jack and Janet. They were simply wonderful and we remained at the hotel for the remainder of our vacation knowing that we were never out of touch with home because of our gracious hosts! We will never forget their generosity and hope that anyone who plans on staying in downtown Tulum will stay at this fabulous place. Staying in town is the real Tulum and mixing with the locals is what makes it worthwhile. You will not be disappointed by the Posada Luna del Sur and you will come away feeling refreshed and more positive about everything after you've experienced the beautiful people who own this gem of a hotel!

“A Beautiful Trip with a Wonderful Hotel”

Posada Luna del Sur

5 of 5 stars
New York

3/3 found this review helpful

The Yucatan was itself enough but to have such a peaceful and comfortable place to stay each night made it the most memorable vacation my girlfriend and I have ever had. The Inn is located off of the main road in Tulum and is within walking distance to food, bars, and shops. The room was always clean and comfortable and our housekeeper (Jesus) was truly charming with his amazing towel creations (see some of the sample pictures posted by others). Although you don't get a beach front view since it's located in town, this seems to give Posada Luna del Sur a more endearing persona. You're in the midst of Tulum and its local residents which, if you have an open mind, allows a more intimate experience with the town and its history. Even so, all the rooms seem to have access to the Inn's quaint courtyard, where the Inn keeper's have colorful plants and garden decorations (perfect for a lazy evening on your room's outside patio). Speaking of the Inn's owners, their should be pictures of Jack and Janet next to standard definitions of gracious and hospitable. They were not only extremely helpful in outlining where the best places to eat, drink, dance, and simply lay on the beach, they genuinely care for all their guests and treat you as if you were friends or family.

If you're adventurous and want a great guide to the area's vast and diverse ecosystem, Jack and Janet can introduce you to Manuel Galindo. This gentleman is both funny and extremely knowledgeable in everything you could possibly want to know about the Yucatan's environment. He will pick you up and give you a great personal (or small group) tour which includes snorkeling in lagoons and private cenotes (flooded caves).

There's not enough space in this review to fully describe how happy we were to stay at Posada Luna del Sur and how much it added to our experience in Tulum.

Thanks Jack and Janet!

Huu and Elizabeth.
