Eco-Tulum Resorts

Our last trip we had the opportunity to stay with the Eco Tulum Group at one of their cabana resorts Azulik. This unique experience is not for everyone but if you are looking a place to get away and be peaceful in a perfectly romantic environment then you should consider Azulik or Cabanas Copal.

Both of these resorts are 'off the grid' so you can't expect your hair dryer to work. Lighting is limited to candles, low voltage and in the reception areas they do have 110 to charge your phone and lap… Continue

Playa Del Carmen ...... over 20 years

Some of us have been 'around' Playa for a long time. You might remember Larry & Sam, or Rocky, Rick, Danny and Greg. Well we all could have been found at Tree Tops, or Blue Parrot and some days just sitting at Quinta Mija, you remember up the trail past the trail that goes down to the beach at the Blue Parrot.

Hopefully, some of you have pictures you will share I have mostly memories. I do have some video we did recently which I will post.

Russ,

Thanks so much for writing back! I think it would be so cool to go down there and meet people on the site who are down there at the same time! I am so excited to go, I can't stand it!

A friend's house while he is in Italy? Sheesh. I dont know if I could choose between Italy and Mexico!

Thanks again for the site! It rocks and I love it! Let me know about the calendar, I think it'd be awesome!

Your welcome Russ,
Yes, I know because I got your email to all, which you wrote last night after your bottle of wine, it was fun! You motivated me to post these pics... I guess the swine flu got everybody scared! We were there in the middle of it... Keep drinking wine, with the antioxidants in it you are going to be fine!

Thanks, we are really having Playa withdrawals. Its been over a year since we were there. I read some of the resorts are only about 25% full. Is that correct?
