Stayed in the town of Tulum for a few days, then 7 nights at Zahra. Not very busy so was given a big Cabana for half price, set back from the road overlooking the Turquoise Caribbean Sea. Free wifi and good food and drink. 40 pesos for taxi into town. Can´t beat it. More

This place was so pretty. They run everything on generators so its lights out by 10:00. However it was like staying in a Robinson tree house! Everything lit a night with candles in your room so you can see your way around. We had a two story cabana. My husband and I stayed on the 2nd floor with the cool... More

We stayed in two different rooms during our time at Zahra and we were impressed with both. The first was a shared bathroom small room and it was just fine. It was spacious enough with a good size bed and quite comfortable. It had a fan and really received a good breeze at night to keep you cool. We also... More

I arrived to Tulum without any hotel reservation, and just stopped in the first hotel I saw. The staff in the desk was average, they could be more welcoming but it was ok. The room was average for the price, the mattress too hard. The room i had was 19, not in front of the beach so at nights after... More

We made a last minute decision to extend our vacation and stay in Tulum. I booked online minutes before checking in. As the internet is a little slow in Tulum, it created some confusion as they couldn't really verify our reservation. The young lady (Anna, I think) at the checkin desk was SO HELPFUL! It was quite hot and she... More

I booked this through the website Which looks great) and had to pay for it upfront. When we arrived our Cabana was being "repaired" and they put us the Azulik honeymoon suite for 1 night. Next day we were moved to Zahra... I knew it would be basic and the plus point was we were right on the beach, stepped... More

I have been to Zahra twice. In 2010 I stayed in the Chan cabana, in January of 2012 I stayed in the Tunich cabana. I was seeking out something rustic and affordable both times and the thatched roofs and wooden doors succeed at rustic, but there is simply no excuse for disgusting when it comes to accommodations, no matter what...

Excited to arrive in Tulum, our experience of Zarah could have been enough to make us catch the first flight home. Ignored on arrival when we tried to check in - we were given an "talk to the hand" signal by the vacant girl behind the desk who was far too busy chatting to her boyfriend. Such an effort was...

My boyfriend and I paid 35 pesos for a cabana. The rooms were very basic but we didn't come to Tulum to sit in our room anyways. Cute bar with very cheap drinks, nice beaches in the area. Staff was extremely friendly. Would return. More

We stayed two nights in the zarah and had different opinions about this "Hotel". Having One of the rooms direct to the beach is nice and of cause you get blinded by this fact. Everything else is just basic and either on low standard or old and worn out! In addition to that, nearly no service available (no towels for... More
