My brother and I are not the type that stay in mega-resorts. We like to feel the culture within which we travel, and staying in a small posada in the heart of Tulum was a great idea.
The proprietors of this facility (Janet and Jack) are kind and caring, and helped us with everything from the dive shop (Maya Diving-which was also excellent) to restaurants and points of interest, to laundry, to internet, to EVERYTHING! They are English-speakers, so that's an added plus for those of you that are Espanol-challenged. The entire hotel is safe and secure, so there's no worry about that.
The rate was good, the room was spotless, the beds were comfortable, we had bottled water, a safe, a fridge and A/C.....everything we could have possibly needed.
The Continental Breakfast they provide gives you the opportunity to eat light and early, and hit the dives or whatever else you might be doing with some fruit and croissants in your stomach, and a smile on your face.
We loved it and would not hesitate to recommend it to all you "normal people" that want to stay in a place where you're actually IN MEXICO.....not some "compound" that feels like Disneyland...and you can walk to everything in town.
Thank you Janet and Jack....you helped make a wonderful trip that much better!

My wife and I flew to Tulum for my brother's wedding. We are expecting a baby; therefore we chose a hotel that included most of the amenities you would expect from a 5 star resort hotel. Thank the maker, we had air conditioning, wireless internet, cable TV, 24hr electricity and a refridgerator.
The owners, Jack and Janet, really made us feel welcome and provided us with a detailed map of all the places to eat and where to avoid. All of their advise was correct and we relayed it to the whole wedding party.
If we ever return to Tulum, Mexico we will not stay any where else. Our experience was more akin to staying with family then being guests at a hotel. Thank you Jack and Janet.

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.
