Property
Zahra is a cluster of bungalows located between two gorgeous sandy beaches on the Mayan Riviera south of Cancun. The bungalows are rustic, but very comfortable and provide an authentic and unique experience perfect for families…think Robinson Crusoe with room service! Each bungalow is located within steps to a private beach lined with cabanas and hammocks where life passes at a pace that allows plenty of time for family bonding.

Location
Zahra is located just minutes from Tulum, an ancient Mayan pyramid complex. Just a bit further abroad is Coba (an even bigger pyramid complex) and Xel-ha, a marine ecological park.

Sleeps
Bungalows sleep 2 – 6 people with fun features like bunk beds and swinging beds…like a hammock with a giant mattress.

Highlights
With no TVs or phones, the kids imaginations went wild…we played pirates all day and hunted for lizards in the evening. But if you start to go stir crazy, there is plenty to do near by…giant Mayan pyramids, eco-marine parks, local craft markets.

Good to know
Make sure you get a beachfront cabana. There is no air-conditioning so the ocean breeze is key to happy vacationers. We stayed here while filming Travel With Kids Mexico: The Yucatan and Mayan Riviera (more information at TravelWithKids.tv) and I was skeptical at first because it was so hot, but the breeze really did keep it cool.
