Get Cha Cold Be-ah He-ah!

Pick a chair any chair

 

I have never seen this town so quiet. It is strange. Walmart, Mega, Sam’s & City Club are all conspicuously devoid of tourists with very few non-Mexicans out and about in them. Hotels in Playacar & Cancun have closed down; many that have remained open have closed off entire wings and have lain off most of their staff. Even the Gran Porto Real, located downtown in Playa, boasted only 25% occupancy last week. To do the math for you this equals more and more hungry kids as more and more families lose their jobs.

Otherwise normally busy restaurants on 5th Ave  have hung signs up on their doors saying, ‘Reopening in December’. And those are the lucky ones. Chains that can afford to pay the rent while having their doors closed.

Land sharks aren't only in Mexico

The rest will be forced to close their doors and lose all. This has and will continue to put many small and family owned shops and stores of all kinds out of business.

This media fueled crisis has caused more devastation to this area than any hurricane ever has. Flights have been cancelled & banned, wedding plans have been cancelled or changed, and the far reaching effects of the like have been devastating.  I would love to hear a positive story about plans that  are back on again.                                                             

Here's a different look for you to try

 Meanwhile, not one case of H1N1 has been reported in Playa, Puerto Aventuras, Tulum, Puerto Morelos or Cancun. We are all healthy as ever down here just hogging the beaches, enjoying no line-ups and soaking up the sun. 

2 x 1 Happy Hour

Everything is on sale right now and the flight bans have been lifted.

Come and get it while it’s hot…or cold.
