The Today Show Discovers the Luna Blue

We don't know how it happened or who visited us from NBC's famous Today Show, be we got a recommendation on the Today Show's website travel page. In a column written November 1st by the Today Show travel editor, Peter Greenberg, he suggests visiting the Mayan Riviera and he specifically mentions the Luna Blue as a recommended place to stay! He says we have "spartan" accommodations at a good price with use of a private beach club (he's talking Mamita's).

We think this is pretty cool! But "spartan?!" He obviously hasn't seen the improvements we've been making over the last two weeks. But it's still nice to be noticed.

Check it out: Beat the chill with 4 hot winter getaways - TODAY: Travel - MSNBC.com.

More "spartan" than the Azul Beach Hotel and its $353/night rate. Probably not a bad thing.

Appears his geography is a bit skewed: PDC "30 miles north" (of Cancun, presumably)? Tulum "20 miles south?" Huh? Having stayed at LB, I would say accommodations are a far step up from "spartan" - but let's face it, it ain't the Ritz (thank goodness!).

How did you hear about the recommendation? I mean, did someone let you know that they saw it on their website or did NBC get in contact with you.

I always find it valuable to know how people hear about my business.

Someone searching "Luna Blue Hotel" on the net saw it and told us. Nice surprise for us.
