Azteca

Bethh,we stayed at Azteca in Jan. this year.Lovely beach & fantastic hotel employees! Downtown PDC is 20-25 minute walk,tops,from Azteca. Did it 2 times & I am 59 & smoked for 40 yrs.If you have time might sent for can-do map from Mapchick.com. Collectivo to tulum, Xel ha cheap & easy,or see if Anna from this board has any trips to Tulum & cenote while you're there. I have heard they are great! We did 1 tour from hotel to chichen itza,long day but could not pass up seeing that moving site,& climbing the pyramid.They keep saying that people will soon be stopped from doing so. It was a dream of mine come true.Buffet at hotel is good,especially bkfst. I liked the snack bar at the Viva Maya better,more variety,etc. but often we were away at lunch.Also be sure to try the cafe downtown owned by Wyndham. 5.00 extra charge but otherwise part of AI & had a great steak there.Nice little mall down the street[so.] toward the Maya,with shops[good prices] ATM machine,ice-cream store-etc. Nice after dinner walk.Shows at hotel are fine,but 20 somethings might enjoy a couple of nights in downtown Playa.
Can highly recommend Frida Bar on 5th Ave. Lots of other good reports on this forum...enjoy! Gail
