| Considered part of the Riviera Maya, Isla Mujeres is a restful alternative to life in a huge resort. And outside its tourist zone, life is serene. But all that Isla has to offer - from fine dining to great scuba - can be had here. Staying at Zina's Guest House, with the local tiendas, eateries and your fridge, microwave, hotplate, toaster, blender, coffee maker and other kitchen appliances, you will have a luxurious and economic vacation rental! This year, in addition to free WiFi, I am providing each apartment with a Skype phone. If you have an account and calls friends with accounts, it’s free! And if you use my account, I’ll take the hit on a few 2 cents a minute calls! And a local-only cell phone is available for rent. San Francisco’s SuperXpress is a block away from the house, but I encourage my guests to explore. So much is offered in the La Gloria neighborhood of Isla Mujeres. There are some small groceries that rival the Super for variety, an open air market and door to door sales by Mayas and a fruit truck announcing it. From the rooftop veranda, take in the sights of children playing or watch the comings and goings of the beauty salon across the street. Consider getting a 40 peso haircut while here! It is also the perfect environment to nurture the creative soul - the sights, sounds and rhythms of the neighborhood - conducive to writing, photography and water colors. Both units have TV, cable, full kitchenettes and air conditioning. Sleep in the luxury of Egyptian cotton sheets and hear the daily rythm as the street awakes, works, siestas, plays and again falls quietly to sleep. We prefer Pay Pal. Mail deposit to Zina's US bank is also available. Spa services - massage, facials and reflexology are also available by reserving through Zina. Reserve a cell phone and share the number before you go! For details, email Zina a zina@zinahouse.com. Learn more about Isla at www.myisla.com Read the blog at http://islazina.blogspot.com |
| Who We Are Zina Vishnevsky, a retired newspaper reporter from Ohio with MS, bought property on Isla Mujeres 5 fives years ago after 15 years as a regular visitor. She has ridden all including Hurricane Wilma in 2005, which had her shoulder-to-shoulder with her neighbors, who are now lifetime friends. |
| Our Business is helping you! We can arrange for you to rent a golf cart while on the island. But how do I get there? The routes to the Ultramar ferry dock in Puerto Juarez can be navigated by shared vans – which can take a long time – or even bus. But for the money, we suggest USA Transfers. At $65 from and to the airport, an entire van or large car is yours and can accommodate you and up to 2 companions. And check out the parent company for mainland excursions and Cancun discounts! |
