Riviera Maya: ‘Business as usual’
Ellen and Jim Fields returned to the Riviera Maya last weekend. They more or less traversed the same route as on their previous visit at the end of November.
You can read Ellen’s largely very positive report here.
The word on Tulum is that things are practically back to their pre-Wilma state.
Ellen and Jim dropped in on Paola Sbrizzi at Hemingway’s. As a measure of the speedy recovery along this strip of coast, Paola has already completely rebuilt her restaurant, which overlooks the Caribbean.
Further up the coast, there is practically no evidence of a hurricane ever passing over Playa del Carmen – at least on the blocks immediately behind the beach.
It’s business as usual.
One of Latin America’s fastest growing cities, Playa shows no sign of taking a breather; new building and remodelling work on existing structures is much in evidence.
"The beaches and the water look great," Ellen adds in an email. "The beach palapas have all been re-thatched."
My thanks to Ellen for passing on this encouraging news…and the photo.
