Anybody know of any good Parties in Playa on New Years ?
We'll be there Dec 26 - Jan 2... "Have the need to dance"
Does anyone know if casinos are opening next year in Playa Del Carmen? Someone told me that they are. I want to move to the area and this is the line of work I am in therefore would love know if this is true. Thanks, Becly

Sorry we missedou also, we had a nice evening, good folks and it was great to put faces with the web conversations.
Glad Playa 'worked' for you. It is an interesting town with plenty to do and a very different experiecen than Cancun, the AI's on highway 307 oreven Playacar which is the planned community south of the ferry dock.
We will be doing get togethers again so maybe on your next trip (-:
Russ, sorry we missed you, my blackberry stopped receiving emails because I received so many while away that it stopped receiving and sending emails by Wednesday. We had a awesome trip, Gran Porto Real offered us a free upgrade to the Royal which was adults only and a true 5-6 star resort, it was incredible...We are back safe in the US and will definitely be back to Playa again....
(-:
Not sure if you are checking mail. I arrive 2/12 and I think we are going to have a little wine and cheese get together FRiday night before you leave. We have a condo about a block from you, Villas Maya on 1st Ave. Timing is 6 to 8pm if you are around.
Hope you are having a great trip. Interested in how you compare Playa to your Cancun trips (-:
Russ
Have fun and travel safe, you are going to have a great trip, different than what you had in CUN (-:
Just checking in to see how you made out with Kris last night, I left the office while you guys were chatting (-:
Glad you got something that works well for you (-: Jody is on her way back from Playa today she went down with a couple other of our folks and our video guy so you will have good info from her.
Quiik note on shopping, food etc. There are a couple very good large american like grocery stores out on 307. It would pay you to take a cab and do a 'shopping' trip for your basics so you are not buying in Playacar.
Beer and liquior are very reasonable and you will find plenty of good meat, etc if you want to cook at the condo. Eating is whatever you want from $1 tacos at the local stands in town to NYC prices if you want that experience.
You can eat very well for reasonnable prices. Michael shot a few restuarants this trip so lets see what they come back with before I make recommendations (-:

I found the Riu Palace Riviera Maya for you guys, 2 double beds with a seperate sitting area with a sofa. The junior suite is 3869.13 total for all 3 of you 1289.71 per person. This is in playacar 1.5 miles from 5th ave. let me know what you think Jody:) http://www.playadelcarmen.com/nHotels/RiuPalaceRivieraMaya/
Jody will be on chat after 1pm today. If you have questions about the small hotels she knows them pretty well and was in town abot 45 days ago. She is also going back next week and will be staying in Playacar if you have things you would like checked for you.

I am committed today, but let me get back to you tomorrow. I will ask Kris or Jody about the AI's in Playacar. THere are a couple I use when I go down for business but I much perfer the in town stay.
Below are 3 places I use often when I am in town for both biz and plaeasure.
Playa Palms Hotel, small condo siutes on the beach
Porto Playa luxury condo siutes one block from the beach You could do a 2 or 3 bedroom here
Mimi Del Mar, simple, easy, on the beach
In Playacar I use the Riu Palace or Iberostar for AI. Both have good food, nice pools and pour better liquior. As for cost in town, you can do like the locals and eat & drink very reasobablely or there is NYC price place also. We can give you some recommendations for eating if you stay in town.
