Hiya!
I'm certainly happy to hear that you and Playa maya were a good combination (as you would expect me to be!). You'll also be happy to know that the beach reclamation project was discontinued and all the poles and nets removed, and that Hurricane Ivan (however temporarily) did more quite literally in 24 hours to help the beach in many parts of central Playa more than months of those unsightly poles and nets did. Three links you may want to to check out on this topic are
