“Best Beds and Beautiful, Cozy Corners”

Posada Luna del Sur

Apr 2, 2008
6/6 found this review helpful

This was a great place to stay and the beds were so fresh- smelling. It sounds weird, I know, but it reminded me of the "Snuggles" commercial here in the US where the toy bear jumps into the linens. Very restful sleep.

It really is a lovely little gem. Jack and Janet are fantastic people who are very welcoming. You show up and are greeted with a smile. They will give you insight as to what to do (e.g ocean-front spots that are delightful and not to over-run with tourists) and yummy restaurants in town (my boyfriend loved...LOVED the Argentina steak place that they recommended.

Jesus fixes these very awesome towel art sculptures that are so fun to guess which one he will do next. (I love the elephant, myself). He is very nice.

If you go, really look at the details that they put into the place. I felt like I was in an artist's home. And the garden in the back is beautiful at sunset.

Oh! and they had herbal/ organic soaps. Very good! : )

My wife and I stayed at this lovely posada for three nights. The room was pretty, very clean, quiet, and extremely comfortable. Jack and Janet were great, with plenty of advice and knowledge about the area. We took them up on a suggestion to rent bikes from a great guy name Hugo at Iguana Bikes, who escorted us to Dos Ojos Cenote which was a fabulous place: we had visited two other Cenotes but this was beyond belief. Not only were Jack and Janet full of advice acting more like lovely inn keepers than hotel owners, Jack even helped me out by calmly searching through my car after I had given up sure that I had lost my wallet. He remained calm and encouraging, and of course found my wallet relieving me (and my wife) of considerable anxiety. Jesus, their assistant, was also fabulous and his towel masterpieces are fun works of art. We'd go back in a heartbeat.

“An absolute gem - Janet's a star!”

Posada Luna del Sur

Mar 26, 2008
5/5 found this review helpful

As first time visitors to Mexico, my boyfriend and I really had no idea what to expect from hotels in the area of Tulum.

After reading what felt like thousands of reviews, I decided Posanda Luna Del Sur sounded like the place for us to stay for 2 nights, before heading to a wedding in Cancun. Obviously, the price was a big draw, but also all the great stories about Janet!

I'm so pleased to feedback that we really couldn't have been any well looked after. My boyfriend and I are very much used to our creature comforts and had just come from the luxury of the Hyatt Regency in Cancun, but after staying a the Posanda we are now complete converts to the more cosy B&B!

Janet was an absolute angel, who made sure we knew exactly where to go and where to eat. I don't think we spent more than £2.50 per night!! The breakfasts were excellent, with Janet and Jack holding court over a bowl of fresh fruit and bread.

We had rented a car, so we drove to the beach in the day, which took about 10 mins. As this hotel isn't on the beach it means that at night it's really peaceful.

This really is a gem to find...and make sure you look out for your swan shaped towels!!

“Amazing stay- even despite the hurricane!”

Posada Luna del Sur

Mar 15, 2008
5/5 found this review helpful

My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Tulum, and we absolutely loved our stay!!! We arrived fairly late at night (due to extremely long lines at customs), yet Janet welcomed us in and gave us a run down of the town- which places to eat at, which ones not to, good attractions, etc. Our room was extremely quiet (no outside noises), and we thoroughly enjoyed the comfort of the room. At first I was apprehensive about our honeymoon stay, because it was so hot when we arrived in Tulum. However, our room had a very nice working air conditioner that we actually had to turn off, because we were too cold! Imagine that, 100 degree weather and we were too cold! The bathroom was kept very clean, and the shower was huge- a plus for honeymooners. The only "shock" coming from the U.S. was that we had to put our toilet paper in a waste basket instead of in the toilet (because the septic system cannot handle it). However, our house-keeper, Jesus, changed the waste basket, and cleaned the entire room every single day... one of the things that my husband and I have often said is, "We miss the smell of our room in Tulum." It was such a clean, refreshing smell... you have to go there to understand what we're talking about.

So, we had a great time exploring Tulum....... and then...... Hurricane Dean came, four days before we were supposed to leave... As the hurricane came closer, I got more and more scared, but Janet and Jack were amazing!!! They invited my husband and I up to their room, and made calls to Mexico's airlines to see if there were any plane tickets out of the Yucatan. I have never experienced such hospitality as I did from Janet and Jack. They were very calm and reassuring about the hurricane, and they gave us very valuable advice about driving to Merida, instead of Cancun, to get on a plane (because they knew that Cancun would be closing down their airport the second that the winds started picking up from the hurricane). Sure enough, Cancun's airport closed a day and half before the hurricane even hit, and we safely got out of Merida and were back in the States before Dean showed his ugly head.

So, what we really want to say is this: Posada Luna del Sur was what made our honeymoon amazing! Yes, Tulum itself was a charming little town, but it was our little hotel stay that sticks in our mind everytime we think back on our honeymoon.

Take our advice: the Posada Luna del Sur will make your vacation 100 percent better... trust us.

“Fantastic!”

3/3 found this review helpful

I will basically be echoing what everyone else has said about Posado Luna del Sur...... it was fantastic! The room was extremely clean, the garden was beautiful and Janet and Jack were wonderful. We booked at this hotel strictly from all the great reviews on Trip Advisor and we were not disappointed! We hope to go back in the future.

After our stay at Posada Luna del Sur, we stayed on the beach for a few days where unfortunately the customer service was horrible and we were wishing we were back with Janet and Jack!
