MY WIFE AND I STAYED AT THE CONTINENTAL PLAZA ONLY 10 MINUTE WALK TO 5TH AVE IN PLAYA DEL CARMEN. WE ATE IN THE TOWN ON AND OFF FIFTH AVE AND WE NEVER DID GET SICK. WE ALSO DRANK THE WATER AND NEVER GOT SICK. Reefdenizen WRITES; Frankly, only novice travellers have any interest in going there unless you want your daughter to get her hair braided.>>>> WE ENJOYED THE WALK DOWN FIFTH AVE ESPECIALY AT NIGHT WHEN THERE WERE MORE THINGS GOING ON. Reefdenizen WRITES: WE ARE ONE OF THOSE "OUT OF STEP" AMERICANS THAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT. WE ARE GLAD TO BE ONE OF THEM. I DON'T CARE IF A WOMEN IS 20 OR 90 IT IS A DISGRACE FOR THEM TO WALK AROUND NAKED. AND FOR A HUSBAND TO WANT HIS WIFE TO DO IT IS ALSO A DISGRACE. BILL Azusa@aol.com

It is a $13 Taxi to Playa Del Carmen (a typical Mexican tourist dump town, we never eat there and wash our hands well after getting back to the resort.>>>
If you do not like topless women on the beach, Robinson Club and Copacabana as well have a good complement of women who stride the Xpu-Ha beach. My wife enjoys leaving her top off so this is no problem for my family. Some Bible belt Americans sometimes get a bit perturbed but they are clearly out of step and get ignored as long as they don't stare.>>>
