Next....We travel next to Punta Allen for a couple nights….
We wake up in the morning take the bus to Tulum, then a taxi ($60) to Punta Allen. Our taxi ride was very fast- speedy driver and from what we heard he gave us a great deal. We heard taxis range from $60-$100 a ride from Tulum.
Next stop as we travel the Yucatan…The Sian Kaan Biosphere-we are on our way to Punta Allen!
YAY! We made it to paradise in the middle of the jungle at the end of the sand road! Serenidad Shardon… If you ever stay in PA…stay here. Niki was a more than excellent hostess!

Serenidad Shardon - A caribbean beach front vacation retreat designed to focus on the adventurer. )
We have warm greetings and are advised that our reservation for tenting is not a good option for the crabs have ripped holes in the bottom of the tent!
We are “upgraded” at no extra cost ($30 a night) to a small “casita” that holds a double bed and enough room to walk around the bed. The upgrade is a great option to tenting! It is cute and cozy… the bathroom is attached to Niki’s house, which is a stones throw away. It lies on the beach, along the jungle and in the middle of Serenidad Shardons beautiful gardens!
The casita we stayed in had a lovely “porch” with table/chairs, hammocks and lush plants…
The casita was a luxury
compared to what we originally reserved…
Serenidad Shardons gardens makes for a lovely view of the beach and water…
We have visited Punta Allen once before for a day trip, Scott had excellent fishing that day and wanted to return… The town has 400 residents. The roads are of sand, the electricity- limited- its on for a short period during the day and early evening! It was a hot trip and sleeping in that casita at night with no fan got warm….but it was fun, we survived and I would do it all over again!!!
Stay tuned for more of our stay in Punta Allen and Serenidad Shardon…we had an UN-INVITED GUEST in the casita one night----come back to find out who visited us…
