Juan and Marta were absolutely amazing. Our trip would have not been the same without their recommendations. They know all the best things of Punta Allen and all they wanted was for us to have the best possible experience in this amazing village. The rooms were super clean and the mattress extremely comfortable. We even had the chance to eat the best lime pie in the world made by Marta. We recommend Las Palapas and we will stay there again.

United States of AmericaYou won't find a nicer couple than Juan and Marta! The property is right on the main road on town - a minutes walk to the beachfront and the handful of restaurants located there. The room was spacious, with a king and a double bed, table and chairs, kitchen area with fridge and sink, bathroom had nice hot water in the shower. Breakfast was served to our room when we wanted it - coffee, fresh fruit (some from the trees in the yard), toast. They also arranged an awesome boat tour to explore the bay and sea, snorkel and see manatees, dolphins, turtles and rays. We're so happy to have stayed here - other properties we considered were located outside of town and would require driving into town for meals (believe me - you don't want to drive the road any more than you have to).

We are travelling with a little assistance dog of 10 pounds ...Is it possible to book a room to your place ! France and Luc from QuebecHello good morning, Punta Allen is within a protected nature reserve and you will not be allowed to pass your pet due to the reserve's rules of not allowing access of animals.Answered on November 1, 2020

Which is the best way from the airport (bus, shuttle, or taxi) to your property?Hello greetings, there is not a specific transport that arrives from the airport to Punta Allen, you would have to take a bus from downtown Cancun to reach Tulum and being in Tulum take a tourist van that takes you to the visitor center of the reservation of Sian Kaan's bisofera and from there they take them by boat to Punta Allen, it sounds very tedious but it is really exciting and adventurous if you are willing to know a place away from the hustle and bustle of the city.Answered on February 27, 2020

hola que tal, estoy viendo que la politica de reservacion es no reembolsable pero me pregunto si podria existir esa flexibilidad de poder cancelar hasta cierta fecha dado que la situacion actual es muy inestable y no nos gustaria perder el dinero en caso de que nos cancelen el vuelo, graciasHola si hablas por teléfono a booking explicando las causas de fuerza mayor que te impide llegar como por ejemplo una pandemia, en automático se cancelara la reserva sin cargos, son políticas de booking para sus clientes.Answered on April 17, 2022

Small inn house with 3 independent rooms with their own bathroom each, they have hot and cold water, bathroom amenities, air conditioning during the town light, fans and light through solar panels, we have thick and padded beds for an excellent rest, we include a continental breakfast to start the day without worries, we look forward to seeing you.
Punta Allen is a small
community of fishermen who live in a privileged corner in the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. As this is a federal reserve, everything is kept as natural as possible, without affecting the flora and fauna of the Biosphere itself.
This small ecotourism paradise has a low profile among tourists for its location and access, nobody wants to venture to the reserve for two hours to reach a fishing village, not knowing that Punta Allen is a paradise for those who know how to value a destination completely virgin and without tourists.
This beautiful town has limited electricity, have a large power plant that is lit every day at 10:30 am and off at 2:30 pm, turn it back on at 6:00 pm and last they turn it off at midnight.
We are a retired couple who decided to share our space in this wonderful site of the Sian Ka'an biosphere reserve, we are committed to providing an excellent service so that our visitors spend an excellent time relaxing and disconnecting from the city.
Punta allen is ideal for ecological tourism, because you can admire colonies of herons, dolphins, manatees, crocodiles and the variety of flora that houses this reserve.
Activities you can do in Punta Allen
This place is highly recommended for backpackers, young travelers, adventurers or people that really want to rest from the city and enjoy nature at its best explendor,
because the atmosphere is suggestive and suitable for organized night walks or lunadas between magical corners of the beaches of Punta Allen.
Similarly, if you want to spend a romantic night as a couple, it will be best to take her to see the stars during your stay in this place because you will have the possibility to visualize the most incredible constellations that the sky of Punta Allen can offer you.
You can enjoy water sports such as snorkeling, kayaking, diving, boat rides, if you want you can enjoy watching birds and animals in their natural habitat.
We recommend you take a boat tour and ask to be taken to the "Blanquizal" or also called "The Sian Kaan Pool", it is a hidden corner where the sea is extremely transparent, you will love it!
