We read the numerous glowing reviews of this place, and booked. When we arrived, we immediately knew it was not for us. But we are not everyone, this hotel may please plenty of people, just didn't do it for us.
Let me start with the positive points. It was extremely clean and safe, had good water pressure, a/c, fridge, tv, small patio outdoor area for each room and a carpark. It was good value, considering these amenities for $60 a night. It is a very short 5 to 10 min walk into the main drag of Tulum - so convenient in the evenings, for dinner/going out, etc. Though, it is basically located near what looks like a truckstop rest area/repair shop, on the edge of town. It is a 10 minute drive to the beach, so you need a car or taxi to reach the ocean.
We went to Tulum to experience the beach and environs to their fullest. So we checked out and moved to a cabana on the beach, at one of the tripadvisor recommendations. This was a little more expensive, sure, but a lot more pleasant and memorable, and still great value considering what we got for our money. And if time is more precious than saving a little money when on vacation, as with us, keep this in mind ... If you are wanting to hang in a hammock and listen to the ocean, walk out of your cabana and onto the beach, basically really chill out, then don't stay at Posada Luna del Sur. If you are concerned about having a tv, a/c, fridge and all these modern day amenities, then do stay at Posada Luna del Sur.
Tulum in general, has a very hip, rustic vibe - something we did not feel at all whilst at Luna del Sur.
We found the combination of staying on the beach in a quality cabana, allowed us to enjoy the beach environment to it's fullest. For eating out, we enjoyed the various beachfront restaurants, then took the short drive into Tulum itself for the odd change of scenery, shopping, laundry, banking, etc ...

My husband, 2 1/2 year old son and I stayed in Tulum at the Posada Luna del Sur on December 21, 22 and 23rd, 2005. We thought the little hotel was perfect, clean and Janet was very helpful. She directed us to local resturants and the grocery. Also, she sent us to a perfect stretch of Tulum beach where we spent most days. This hotel is a bargin and I would recommend it to anyone who doesnt need to be directly on the beach. Being in the town of Tulum was a treat. Lots of children, the town square is a perfect place to enjoy an ice cream. If you are noise sensitive, be aware that this gem is in town, and living next door are some turkeys and roosters. The room has only a small refrigerator, no microwave, stove or dishes of any kind. If packing a cooler of sandwiches and drinks for the beach is your idea of spending a day, book here and enjoy.

Our stay at "Posada Luna del Sur" was very agreeable.
This wonderful little hotel is really "A home away from home".
Everything is clean, confortable and it is a very secure place.
You will find all what you need in the room and functional.
Last but not least, Janet is a great hostess and ready
to give all practical informations like the best place to go
on the "playa", where to take the bus if you are not using
a car, the best restaurant for breakfast or "para cenar", etc.
It is, for sure, the place I will stay on my next visit to Tulum.

Posada Luna Del Sur is an oasis in the town of Tulum. This beautiful, clean and well-maintained hotel is the best option in town. Janet, the owner, is friendly and extremely helpful with suggestions for restaurants and activities, and she is available for anything else you might need. She makes you feel like a guest in her home, not a client, and this enhances the experience greatly. This hotel offers amenities that you will not find in other places in Tulum like air conditioning, a refrigerator and cable TV. While other hotels in the area were doubling or tripling their prices for the New Years busy season, Janet only raised her nightly price from $45 to $60. I strongly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. We will definitely return to Posada Luna del Sur.

I just spent six days in Tulum and kept a room at Posada Luna del Sur and an inexpensive, "rustic" cabana on the beach. Slept at Luna del Sur on the hot nights and showered in its softer water as the cabana lacked electricity and used hard cenote water. The Posada Luna del Sur rooms are quite large and spotlessly clean. Janet helped me find the open laundry and the better restaurants in Tulum.
