I think it is time for an official "hola"!

Lost on Fifth? Who comes up with this stuff?

I've posted, but thought it was time for an introduction. The hubs and I are from Austin, TX and just booked our second trip to Playa. We went for the first time last year on a whim (my whim-- and dragged him along). As part of my whim we stayed at the Mayakoba and it was... expensive. After rolling around in so much cushiness we decided this much lux was... boring.
This time we are taking a bit of a different approach and staying downtown at the Kinbe, with the first night at Mayaland on Chichen Itza.
Always open to suggestions, and the right direction!

HHHMM from Austin and stayed at the Mayakoba

I would think a Dallasite would stay at the Mayakoba and an Austonian would stay in town

I love Austin, you must be coooool. Welcome to the forum. Have fun staying intown. I think you will enjoy the beaches, the restaurants and the bars.

HI Ritterbride, I stayed at Kinbe years ago before it was remodeled and I loved it! It looks just gorgeous now and it's in a fantastic location, so I'm sure you'll enjoy your vacation.

Funny you say that, Monte... I'm origionally from Dallas! But I'm recovering!
Yeah, the Mayakoba was nice, but so boring! Plus, cha-ching.
I get the joke so no big deal, but I cannot go back there. I moved to Austin from another city a few years ago. Dallas is "interesting" to visit, but I like to come back home to Austin-- and to chill in Playa!
