Our fifth trip to the PP is coming up next month. We have really enjoyed it, the food, service, location, room and amenities. We spend as much time outside of the resort as we do at the resort so we are probably going non AI in September to one of our favorite spots to stop (Playa Maya) when we walk the beach.
We picked up tips from this board and others and have found some of the best places to eat, drink and people watch from Playa to Tulum.
There is one buffet and two Ala Carte restaurants, and room service. Room includes stocked bar, fridge with beer, soft drinks and water. They also include Farouk (sp) toiletries, shave kit, tooth brush, tooth paste, shoe shine kit, robe and slippers.
You can use the sister resorts but we only use the cozumel palace for a courtesy room to shower and change after a day in cozumel.
They are always painting or maintaining the building but have not seen any renovations or major construction. Our last trip was Sept. 07 for 8 days.
