Zina’s Guest house is the place to go to if you want to experience a real Mexican neighborhood on Isla Mujeres. I stayed in the upstairs apartment, and frequently made use of the rooftop sitting areas to enjoy a full view of the street life below. While there, I experienced all the regular sights and sounds of the neighborhood ,... More

Zina's Guesthouse is a great choice for budget conscious travelers who preffer to stay out of the hotel areas and the regular crowd of American tourists. It is clean and affordable. Zina is a lovely intelligent lady and a great source of advice on how to get around and who is who on the Isla. Stay at her guesthouse is... More

This was our second visit to Isla Mujeres and first stay in the La Gloria neighborhood. We returned this year to again celebrate the New Year holiday on the island. The party is the best...the locals are so fabulously celebratory and many go until 8am (!) but we have yet to make it that far, we'll get there! We loved... More

I enjoyed a two week stay in the upstairs apartment at Zina's Guest House in Colonia La Gloria, Isla Mujeres Q Roo MX. This is my annual holiday retreat. I actually have lost count, I think this was the fifth consecutive year I have stayed in the apartment for Christmas and New Year's. The apartment is very comfortable and clean.... More

Having been to Isla Mujeres before, we wanted a different, more integrated experience with the people who live there rather than the regular hotel/North Beach stay. My husband Bentley found Zina's on the internet and it was exactly what we wanted. It was simple, clean and charming with little arty touches like the tiny white lights illuminating the roof and...

The recorder concerts have progressed through the years from practicing the scales and "Mary had a Little Lamb" to Bach's "Joyfull, Joyfull, We Adore Thee". I am often tempted to throw a recorder into my bag when returning to Zina's so I can join in with the impromptu recorder concerts. The neighborhood is always changing but still the same. My... More

WOW!! Talk about an amazing vacation made even better by an amazing host. We totally lucked out finding Zina’s Guest House. We could not have imagined a better place to stay. Ever. Zina definately gets an A++ for the best host, as does her dog, Punta. Upon our arrival Zina took us upstairs to our new “home” for the week...... More

After 15+ trips to Isla Mujeres I took my first solo trip. I decided to spend the first 4 days in centro and the last 4 in the colonias. I wanted to ensure that the last 4 days were spent relaxing. Zina's guest house in colonia La Gloria was the perfect place for that. I was greeted by Zina and... More

We stayed here for 5 days in April. We stayed in the apartment upstairs, and it was great. Zina had stocked the kitchen with great snacks (including fresh fruit and vegetables), and the apartment was super-clean and tidy. The location is awesome. This is a neighborhood where the people of Isla Mujeres live. It’s not for tourists. We loved this.... More

Zina's Guesthouse is hidden in the Dolores Neighborhood, a short walk from the beach of the northwest side of Isla Muheres. Upon first glance one might be disturbed by the city sounds and the rooster across the street. Zina, the proprietor's knowledge and guidance of the area soon introduce you to the benefit of staying there. Zina's is less hectic... More
