Just spent 6 epic days with Niki and her staff at Serenidad Shardon. From the moment I arrived I was one of the family. If you need anything in Punta Allen Niki will have the solution. I spent all my nights in a tent with the cool Mexican breeze putting me to sleep. It doesn't get better than that. If... More

After driving through the tangle of eco hotel cabanas south of Tulum, we ventured into the Sian Ka'an Reserve.  We were told at the gate that the road was very bad. I found serenidad Shardon on the internet and called ahead to see if they had room for us.  An American voice answered the phone.  We explained that we were... More

Serenidad Shardon is located in remote Punta Allen. As its owner likes to say, Punta Allen is where people go when they want to get off the beaten track and away from everything. The town itself is a ~35km, 1.5-4 hour drive from Tulum (depending on the roads). There are no gas stations in Punta Allen, so it is wise... More

in this 500 people village, Nikki's Hotel is the place to go. It has this welcoming feeling of your own house. We chose to rent a tent and cook in the backyard open air kitchen, and it was just sweet. Woke up in the morning with feet in the sand, walked up to Nikki's special coffe bar, chat with everybody...

I stumbled into Punta Allen after a car rental gone bad scuttled my vacation plans. All I wanted was a friendly and quiet place where I could relax, and i fund everything I was searching for at Serenidad Shardon. Nikki and her staff made me feel like I was one of the locals. In the course of my week I... More

We showed up without a reservation, which is quite the brave move when you consider we brove almost four hours on a sand road to get there from Tulum. They had a room and we were shown to what I can only best describe as the "Robinson Corusoe" house. It wasn't on the beach, but everything in this town is... More

You must take the time for the jungle drive. It is long and can be difficult, but the reward is so worth it. Follow the road to the end and you will find Serenidad Shardon. You will be treated like family, and Niki is a dream hostess. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to be accomodating.... More

More kudos for Nikki Allen and her staff. We took the collectivo and what a trip in and out! Then a magical boat ride to Punta Allen. The town is no frills and very peaceful. We even had a hard time finding a place to eat after we arrived. Some major wind and rain the morning (4:30 a.m) the day... More
