Quick question on Sandos Playacar

Anyone know the cerveza's available off hand?
Indio is my preference, but I like Modelo, Tecate rojo, and a number of others.
I have read, some places have a smaller choice. I can put up with XX -lager or especial, but I think I would sooner drown myself in a pool then be subjected to a corona!
Man, I feel like a beer snob.

My wife and I are taking our three kids to Sandos Riviera section. It seems the pictures I've seen are of XX amber. Didn't see corona. I'd rather have XX over Corona too. Will be sippin poolside Wednesday about 2:00 pm

I just happened to read this as part of a Trip Report currently being written by missixty on her recent stay:

For example we just asked for diet pepsi, water and beer when he came as we don’t like full sugar pepsi or the fizzy orange or 7 up.

Steve,
My wife and four sons and I just returned from Sandos Playacar, and the beers we had in our refrigerators were XX and Sol. Both were very cold and perfectly fit the purpose for which they were designed!

Thanks for the replies
Sol will work great. I spent a lot of last year in Monterrey, so I got spoiled with Carta Blanca having a brewery in town.
6 days and a wake up till Playa

If you like Carta Blanca, then you must try a Montejo when you are in town.

P.S. You won't find Carta Blanca in Playa and if you do... you need to let me know where!

When we visited in March it was XX and plenty of it - tap, cans, etc... Can't believe the taste acquired for it. In any case, Steve, it's good to know what they have so you can work your palette up to the correct attitude before your trip
