Your going to be out all day anyway, so dont expect a wonderful room, this is all about location and getting away. Great drinks, and great beach nearby. Take a taxi to the city for $4.00 close to Tulum, walk to nearby beach bars, we stayed in Room 10 which we thought was quite nice, however the bathtub was kinda... more

Just returned from a brief stay at the Zahra and wish it had been longer. Found the cabanas charming, rustic and delightful and contrary to some of the negative reviews here, the sheets were white and clean; the beds comfortrable; the mexican ceramic sink clean as was the hewn trunk bathtub although I took showers. The electricity went off around... more

We had high expectations of Zahra and were disappointed upon our arrival. Not only did they lose one of our night’s reservations, but the room I requested was not the room I got. We reserved the Nohoch room. Upon our arrival we were placed in the Nahil room. A room with a ceiling fan that didn't work, a shower door... more

First off, I only gave Zahra two stars instead of one because of the location and the property. I absolutely loved the area and the proximity to the beach (a one minute walk from our second floor room). However, I believe that you can choose a number of other hotels with the same beach access. Where to begin? 1. There... more

Oh they take a good photo don't they? We too were sucked in by the gorgeous photos, and yes, the top floor of the deluxe suite is lovely looking. We stayed in that one (featured in all the photos) for a week, one set of in-laws stayed at the next level rooms on the beach, another set stayed in the... more

We have just returned from a week at Zahra and had a wonderful time. We stayed in Room 18, which is a Nohoch cabana. Being right on the sands of the Caribbean Sea was fabulous. Our room had two king size beds, both with nets, a small but very clean bathroom, and a small sitting area with purified water provided.... more

A friend and I spent 4 nights in Zahra and we had a wonderful time! The room was cosy and the balcony had a nice view on palm trees and ocean. Of course, do not expect any kind of luxury, you will only find the basics. The restaurant is excellent and the staff was really helpful and extremely nice. Although... more

We arrived at night after a 450 peso(4.50 usd) cab ride from the Tulum Pueblo bus station. Checked in our second floor reserved room, Nahil without a problem. Nice firm kingsize bed. We expected more rustic than we got, based on reactions from other reviews here. In fact the shower was a little rough on the edges; some chipped tiles,... more

We stayed in the Tunich cabin which is the cheapest option at Zahra. It suited us really well as we are two sisters (not a honeymooning couple like most of the people we encountered) and we wanted to spend our money on exploring rather than holed up in a luxury cabin. The room was really basic - no glass in... more
