I totally agree with others that this place is lovely - couldnt agree more actually but there are a few buts... First off the setting is great, beach is great, really chilled out and didnt see any nicer places along the Playa. We didnt eat here as wanted Mexican food but definately looked nice. The buts come in with the service and cabana we were in. Ok we were only there for 2 nights so prob hard to really get a feel for the place but it wasnt that easy to get a hold of staff if you needed to ask something...they do seem to have a good number of staff but were generally off doing other things and certainly didnt take the time to point out things to us or show us round - just there is your cabana, which is fine but would have been nice to be make to feel a little more than just another guest. I also asked if it would be possible for one of them to book me a taxi early in the morning to catch a bus(in my very broken spanish), that was no problem but then none arrived and we ended up missing our bus as no body knew if the taxi had actually been booked (ok we prob should of done it ourselves but this is a hotel and wouldnt have taken much effort).The cabanas are great but for the price i do actually thing they are def aover priced compared to other place we stayed along the way (but then maybe that is the Playa factor). Also since the cabanas are pretty basic, you get a lot of mozzies and sandflies coming in which is no probs as there is a mozzie net above the bed...BUT it has huge holes in it and we really did struggle to keep them out - i just think especially with the cabanas, if you're going to provide a net-at least ensure it doesnt have huge holes in it.
But yeah apart from that it is a really nice place to stay, much nicer than Tulum town.

One warm and magical night in October I set foot for the first time in the enchanting backyard of Luna Maya. I was traveling alone in Yucatan and an announcement of live music and good cocktails led me to this hotel.

Immediately I felt at home in this tropical setting. On my right hand I could see the moon reflecting in the sea, on my left, friendly personnel was preparing the most refreshing drinks for the guests. In front of me a Latin band was playing and their music made my body swing lightly on the rhythm.
Since that day I was a regular guest at Luna Maya. In the afternoons I would watch over the turquoise sea while enjoying a soft breeze that was going through the palm trees around me. Most surprised I was by the dishes they served at the hotel.
I found out that they have a menu that is a creative and exciting mixture between Spanish and Mexican delight. Calamares and Fish are fresh from the sea and make the menu even more exciting.

For me Luna Maya means life long friendships, moments of true relaxation and inspiration, the promise of an idyllic environment and an amazing food.

“I recommend this hotel to everyone! I used to travel by myself but in Luna Maya, rarely do you feel alone. You can meet many nice people if you want … or just relax in your room or at the beach, listening to soothing shore sounds.

The hotel is located between the jungle and the beach, which is perfect if you want to escape from the stress of daily life. It has a Spanish restaurant, where you must try the paellas and tapas. The food is exquisitely tasty and appetizing. I personally recommend paellas and the Spanish omelette (tortilla)! And don’t forgot to top off a meal with one of the hotel’s finest wines.

The room decors superbly highlight the overall peace and harmony that the hotel exudes. The rooms are tastefully clean and furnished, and room price also includes a delicious breakfast. Additionally, the hotel staff is very friendly and always willing and able to recommend places to visit.

I had my best vacation in Mexico and it was largely due to my unforgettable stay in Luna Maya. Go and discover for yourself!”

Luna Maya is a secluded hotel-resturant on the Caribbean Beach. The rooms are tropical, clean and airy. The food is outstanding. The seafood is caught daily and served with European elegance. The beach courtyard and bar area is a tropical paradise with the sea lapping the white sand and cliffs. You have to pass it on your way to and from the Biosphere. It is a stop not to be missed. It was without a doubt the most soul searching evening I spent in Tulum.
