First time I saw Playa was via a bus from Cancun on our way to Cozumel. I only recall the busses parking in a dirt lot round about where the new mall area is now and our walking down the street to the ferry pier. Just a couple of small stores there. That was in 1990.
Then about 5 years ago when someone at work mentioned her son staying at a resort in Playa del Carmen, I argued with her, "No way. There's nothing there. You must have it confused with Cancun." In 2000 David and I stayed at an AI on Cozumel and took the ferry over to do a Tulum/Xel-Ha excursion. When I first saw the PDC coastline from the ferry, my jaw dropped open. I couldn't believe what I was seeing..... Then as we stopped along 307 to pick up more passengers at all the resorts... Blew me away.
