Good for you! Make sure to stop by and say "Hi" when you are in town. We are going to be out of town for a week starting July 9, so drop by the Luna Blue early in your trip if you can so we can buy you a Birthday Drink!

Mind if we make a suggestion? We notice you plan a couple of days with "beach at resort" and then heading for 5th Avenue. Consider visiting some of the other beaches in the area. Zenzi beach club on the beach near Calle 10 is our favorite spot in the center of town. Near us on the north end of 5th you will find the ultra hip european style Mamaitas and Kool beach clubs sitting side by side on the beach near Calle 28th. And check out our number one beach club choice, the Blucacao beach club about a five minute cab ride north of Playa. Oh, and there's La Playa Beach Club on Xpu-ha beach, and El Paraiso on the Tulum Beach.

There are some amazing beaches in the area with beach bars and clubs that range from funky to fabulous. Don't limit yourself to the one beach at your resort is our recommendation.

the only problem with those suggestions...i can drink "free" all day at my resort beach, it's an AI. But, I'm sure i will venture to other beaches, thanks for the suggestion. I will def stop by and see you guys, you made the list when I found out you play radio margaritaville in the bar!

[OttoCal]

hi,
The OttoCals will be down in that area July 9-20, but with a pretty opposite itinerary-

July 9-11 Isla Mujeres
July 11-18 private villa at Playa del Secreto (day trips- Tulum, Coba, Playa del Carmen, and a bunch of scuba for the divers in the group)
July 18-20 back to Isla Mujeres.

Hope we have great weather!!
Luna Blue, sorry we will miss you, hope you have a great trip!

Just remember, for the price of a few beers you can have a change of scenery that will probably include a new and possibly more beautiful beach populated by gorgeous topless women. But hey, "free" drinks are good too!

We will look forward to seeing you. We do have Radio Margaritaville in the bar. We also have live music Tuesdays and Saturdays and ladies in Bikinis drink margaritas for free anytime...house rule!
