Tropical fruit cocktail
Franchise operation 100% Natural has a foothold on Fifth Avenue ("Quinta Avenida"), the main drag in Playa del Carmen (between Calle 10 & 12). It serves up veggie pastas & soups, and fresh fish, meat and poultry, which you can eat in their tropical courtyard garden.
Chantelle Tucker (a regular in my posts here) shares out all the wholesome goodness in this set of photos.
Just south of Playa is Ikal del Mar, with thirty beautiful, thatched villas, scattered throughout its lush grounds (the hotel prides itself on the fact that no trees were cut down during its construction).
Brighton-based Andy Budd was a guest earlier this month. Andy’s photo gallery on Flickr includes some sumptuous shots of Ikal del Mar… and many others of serene-looking Valladolid, Tulum and Chichén Itzá.
Kor Hotel Group, the Los Angeles-based operator of such luxury properties as the Tides on Miami’s South Beach, is acquiring Ikal del Mar. The group will also have a property on the Mayakoba development.
