Playa 2006 trip report Feb.22-Mar.4

cmsitaly · 03-05-2006

2/22 Day One

We are off for our second trip to Playa

. First one was last year and we fell in love-so we are back for more!! Enjoy!
Uneventful getting to Cancun from Indy via <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Miami-</st1:place></st1:City>yeea baby! Arrive at 12:45, pick up bags, green light and off the get tickets for the <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Riviera</st1:place></st1:State> bus. Next one doesn’t leave for 45 minutes so off to the bar for a couple of Pacificos, down those and get two more to go (para llevar) very important phrase we learned last trip

. The traffic seems to have increased quite a bit since last year it seems or maybe I am so excited to get to Playa the bus seems to take longer. Probably the latter. Josh is tired so he naps (he was too excited to sleep last night) kinda like the kid on the Disney commercial. We arrive at the bus station and take the short walk to Calle 6 and the beach-Hotel Fusion (formerly Alejari) We are pleased to see that our room is ready-same one we stayed in last year. Alright!

The new owners are making changes and improvements to the hotel which are refreshing and needed.

Immediately I am referencing like a rolodex in my brain all the great restaurant suggestions we have received from this forum-what do ya wanna eat first??!! We decide to try Los Carboncitos on Calle 4 in between 5th and 10th. We order the guacamole

(I believe it was the best we had down there) with chips and all the sauces.

Once again this forum is right on. The pumpkin seen salsa was delicious as were the other ones (I also favored the guacamole sauce)
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Josh had his first Sol and we had aracherra tacos with frijoles charros also very good as recommended<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

Then to the playa mart for some cocktail ammo. We pick up some vodka and some Red bull cuz we are tired, but have no desire to nap. We just got here!! Sleep later! We unpacked a little while fueling up on RB and V’s and off down Fifth to take it in and check out some menus. AHHHH Playa we are here…

Gialle Limone looked good-we will have to try that later. Also Tapa’s y Tintos looked interesting. Strolled back down fifth and went to Babe’s to have a mojito. We were a little disappointed because they tasted so sweet. Oh well we love the atmosphere there and it always smells soooo good-off to make another cocktail. Then we traveled to the Beer Bucket and met some people from Minnesota-not peeps but very nice. I know a bunch of Peeps will be arriving in a few days.

Had some more Pacificos and went back to the room to refill our cocktails…again. After a while I decided food was necessary and Josh is running on about 4 hours sleep and although fueled a little by the RB and V’s he is starting to fade as am I after a long day of travel. I wanted Pizza Renzo-I heard it was the best. So… we look… and look…and look, but could not find it. I must admit the rolodex of food recommendations in my brain was a little fuzzy so we opted for Pizza Pazza. I had the spinach pizza-it was better than the pepperoni - which is odd cuz pepp is my favorite-but it hit the spot. It was very good, but we were drunk to who knows. Off to bed…TBC

Si, vicariously es muy bueno... I am going to bed now, and when I wake up I will again think I am in Playa...

But...

I am not. Dream about next year

Nice to meet you as well

Such good times!

Love the trip report so far, great pics! I wish I could keep a rolodex in my head but with short term memory loss, it would all be lost. I'll just make note cards! Looking forward to hearing more about your restaurant/food choices.

do over

cmsitaly · 03-06-2006

Woke up early and I knew Josh would sleep for a while so I laid in bed for a little bit. Realized that I was not going to be able to go back to sleep cuz I am so excited to be in Playa my mind is racing-I wanna get up, I wanna get up I wanna get up. But I know it is early, so I thought I might go try the 8:30 yoga class at A<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on">lhambra</ST1:p</st1:City> down the beach. I get up and walk over there and when I arrive there is no one there…uh…hello? Here comes someone, she smiles and I ask about the class. She says yes it starts at 8:30. I said yes, um, I thought it was 8:20

-oh s#@t I forgot about the time change…it is only 7:20AM! Boo! I feel a little silly, but oh well I tried. So I walk back to the hotel and on my way stopped to get a fresh squeezed OJ from the guy on the corner of 5th and Calle 6. Yumm! Go back to the room and Josh is still comatose. No sign of movement so I nap a little. I Woke up hungry. PUSH CARTS here I come! I go and get 2 tacos, eat them sitting on 5th, and then go back and get 2 more for Josh. I figure he might be up and hungry by the time I get back. For those of you who have not had them they are delicious little pork tacos in a fresh tortilla…so good and only 6 pesos a piece.

The push carts are on Juarez and 5th just toward the beach a little. They serve them usually from 8:00 to 12:00. Great breakfast.

Off to the beach. They have new chairs at the Fusion and they are very comfortable compared to the hard plastic ones they had last year. They are also building a new deck and staircase there too. The new owners are nice and they said it will be a whole new hotel next year. This is good as we are planning on returning for sure next year. fo shizzle! We catch some rays, people watch and enjoy paradise

Lunch time! We walked down the beach to La Tarraya at Calle 2. We enjoy eating there not only for the view, but also for the well priced fresh seafood. We shared shrimp ceviche, guacamole, and the fish a la Tarraya. The ceviche was awesome, guacamole was okay and the fish was very good. It had a tomato, onion and what I think was marjoram sauce (Mexican oregano) The fish was very tasty and at 45 pesos for a fish fillet, rice and tortillas who can complain. <O:p></O:p>
We went back for some more rays. Note: be careful when walking on the beach down there, lotsa rocks hidden in the sand. OUCH!<O:p></O:p>

Siesta time…<O:p></O:p>

About 3:00 we head down the La Bodeguita del Medio in the mall for their mojitos. They have 2 for 1 all day on Thursdays. They are better than what I remember. Not as sweet as Babes. Very refreshing so we have two a piece. Also good souvenirs are the Havana Club sticks that came in the mojitos- Josh liked them. We also tried their Cuban mixed platter. Very good, but everything was fried. Not a bad thing, just not what we expected. There were some meatballs that were very tasty, fried cheese, some meat ragu on a fried banana that was awesome, also a lot of banana chips that were good. The chicken croquettes were interesting and tasty as well. We get two more mojitos to go. Off to get more money from the ATM (best exchange rate) Chico Latinos was our next stop to have a caipirhina say and hi to our Italian friends (brothers who own the bar). We tried them several places last year and we think they have the best ones here. Chico Latinos is on 5th upstairs a little north of Calle 6.

The caipirhinas were good and it tasted like they maybe added a little vanilla. It was a nice touch we thought it took the bite of the lime out a little. Great people watching from this bar too.
Next we thought we should stick to drinking rum to help avoid a huge hangover the next day so we went and bought a bottle of Bacardi Limon to mix with some yes, Red Bull again. Man, I gotta get off that stuff, but it does the trick when you wanna go on and your body is draggin’ <O:p></O:p>

Made some cocktails back at the room (We love the location of the Fusion for this reason and many others of course) And we are off down fifth again. As we are walking I notice a woman who looks very familiar…could she be a peep!? She sees me staring at her and she stops… YES! It is our first Peep encounter!! Maestranba (Nancy) and Sarah. We chat for a little while and meet up with them later at the Tequila Barrel.

We have some beers, tequila –wait what happened to our Rum plan? Out the window! Anyway beer, tequila and Josh is intoxicated again. I am too, but not quite at his level. After hanging out with Nancy and Sarah and running into a few more peeps I decide we need some fuel of a different sort. We head out to Gialle Limone. Of course I pick a spot that is waaay down fifth. At least that is how Josh described it to me at the time. “Oh look Josh is drunk…let’s drag him down to the restaurant a mile away”. If it is not funny now I assure you it certainly was funny at the time. <O:p></O:p>

When we arrive Josh immediately orders an espresso. Then he gets another.

The waiter gave him a look like “another?” Again, it was funny. Anyhoo, dinner consisted of homemade ravioli with gorgonzola and asparagus sauce which was very flavorful and delicious. The ravioli was a little thick for my taste, but I will admit to being picky, okay a lot picky, when it comes to fresh pasta. Hence the screen name. But I have to remember I am not in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Italy</st1:country-region>. I would definitely eat here again. Don’t get me wrong. I just feel the need to add some anility to my comments for you fellow foodies out there who enjoy details such as these.

We also had prosciutto and melon which was also very yummy. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures of the food, and I also don’t remember how much it was. Again didn’t matter we would definitely eat here again. The service was great and they were also very friendly. Of course we are in Playa right? We walk back down 5th and wave to Nancy who is still hangin at the TB. Enough for us today…tomorrow is whole new day of opportunity in Playadise.<O:p></O:p>

Great report with some even greater pics. We leave for Playa next week, and nothing gets you in the mood more then a good trip report!

Day 3

Chris wakes up hung-over…thinking about food -weird.

It is only 6:30. We lay there a little and Chris goes out to get some OJ. She brings some back and I chug mine. I am super dehydrated-understandable after last night.

But not really feeling hung-over-whew! Must have been the two espressos I hade last night. We drag out of bed and it is another beautiful day in paradise. We walk over to Las Mananitas on 5th and eat. It is just okay a little bland, but suffices for now. The coffee however was very good. We stop and get some more water-a big four gallon jug at the little store on Calle 6 and we are back to the room, get ready and off to the beach.

After a few hours we headed to Java Joes for lunch. <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country-region w:st="on">Turkey</st1:country-region> and cheese and ham and cheese sandwiches hit the spot. They are always good there. We walked back to the Fusion for a little more sun. After a while Chris wanted to explore a little. She wanted to find this pollo asado place James was talking about and also wanted to look for HH Monterrey where they have the awesome aracherra. So we head off down the street to Calle 2 and 20th. It looks like the pollo asado place is shutting down for the afternoon, but we know where it is now.

Off to HH Monterrey. They are packed. Good thing we are not hungry now-there are people waiting everywhere to get a table. It smells wonderful and looks even better. Can’t wait to come back and try this place!

Went home showered and napped until about 9:30. We had no desire to drink but we were hungry, and just wanted a snack. We walked down 5th and stopped at this superpanaderia and walked in to get some chips or something. They hade a bunch of pastries and bread type things. They also had tamales so we grabbed a few of them, some chips and a couple of cokes. Easy and only four bucks. The tamales were actually pretty good. Chris is eager to compare them to the ones Heather raves about at La Casita de los Guisos. But they only have them on weekends so that will have to wait. Back to bed by 12:30. Not real exciting today, but we needed some rejuvenation
