We loved it here. Janet, the proprieter was one of the most accomodating hosts we've ever encountered. We requested 4 nights a couple of months ahead of time. When our plans changed, she had to do some maneuvering, but was able to get us a room for a different week. We missed our flight coming in, and wanted to change our reservation from 4 nights to three nights. She had no problem with this. The room (and shower!) were spacious and we enjoyed sitting in the peaceful garden. Janet responded to our requests right away, and seeing her at Don Cafeto's restaurant was like bumping into a friend in town. We felt so welcomed, next time in Tulum we will definitely be staying here.

Located at the end of a bustling typical Mexican town, Posada L.D.S. is a secure haven a short drive (5 mins)from the beach. A large modern supermarket and all amenities (bank, restaurants and bars within 2 minutes walk) make this an excellent venue for touring the Yucatan, including Tulum ruins (5 mins car) and Coba (45 mins).
Janet the host helped with phone calls to American Express offices and gave good local advice about beaches and local services too. Beware, the Amex pre-paid credit card is useless outside Cancun. I had to drive an hour to withdraw cash - use visa or travellers cheques!
The accomodation is good and spotless, powerful showers and large t.v. and a fridge which is ideal for storing water or preparing your own snacks. Located behind a very grubby Tyre shop with views into backyards piled with debris and a free-range cockerill the whole area provided an insight into town-life outside of the beachbum and tourist areas; a very rewarding experience. I must say that my wife and I both found the bed to be rather too hard and any more than the three nights we slept on it would have proved too much, however I am sure Janet would have moved us if we felt the need to protest.All in all a very safe hotel, no-hassles, location spot-on for non-beachy types with a car and excellent value.

We stayed with Janet in February of this year. If you are looking for a spotless, well equipped, comfortable room at a great price it is the place to stay. Walk to town and all of the restaurants in 2 minutes, the beaches are about 10 minutes away by car. We will go back.

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!
