Re: Official Playa Del Carmen Thread

the local girls on average are pretty ugly. The hot ones are really hot imo (I love all non-white females though) Lot's of tourists, lots of good looking tourists. So far it seems like Playa is the place for couples to go to (haven't run into a large group of females). I imagine that will change a bunch now that tourism is picking up

The night life is pretty fun. Clubs are open all night, sometimes a cover sometimes not. Beers ~40pesos mixed drinks 80. Be careful, heard lots of stories about scams (pretty common to try and **** drunk tourists)

some of the clubs have all you can drink (bottom shelf) for 350 pesos, I haven't done that yet as I like going from place to place.

The clubs are all on 12th calle from the beach to 10th ave, and they pick up around 12pm. before 12 the drinking/eating takes place on 5th avenue

I will pay a 5% vig for stars or MB or would accept $2450usd for the equivalent of $2868 SGD+HKD that you would have to change back in the states.

Also, once I get everything set up will buy you buckets of beer all night, every night for a week.

Please PM.
Do you still need this? I might be able to get this done

Apparently my atm card got cloned or something and I had to shut it down so now I have no access to cash if anyone can take pokerstars $$ for hard cash I need it bad so willing to work something out and will be eternally grateful

Re: Official Playa Del Carmen Thread

If you can get pesos/dollars for my SGD/HKD then yeah, would love to hear how.

Also thanks for the agent advice, just got moved in to my new place Beers on me sometime soon.


If anybody is coming down alone and wants to rent out my extra bedroom while they find their own place let me know, I speak decent Spanish and wouldn't mind helping out with stuff.

Re: Official Playa Del Carmen Thread

Ok so once the FullTilt money is paid to US players I will be moving down to Playa del Carmen asap. Once I get a time frame on when we will be getting paid I will have a better idea on when i will be moving down there. When I move I will be looking for 2 other 2p2 grinders to rent a pad with. When looking for a pad im looking for more of an upscale home/condo in the price range of 1800-2500USD. If anyone knows of any good realtor agencys/agents they coudl refere me to would be much appreciated. My original plan was to move to Rosarito but after visiting I didn't feel I would enjoy that area. I want a high quality of life and it seems as though Playa offers great living standards. If anyone is interested in moving to PLaya in the next few months IM me or respond back and we could chat and figure out some options. CWK.

Make sure you also visit the newest karaoke restaurant bar in playa del carmen, called Hangover Bar. Daily drink specials, great food and it's cheap! It's a block away from the beach and the owner there takes care of his own business. Meaning, you get treated like a king.

Re: Official Playa Del Carmen Thread

Hey guys. Currently I live in Rosarito Mexico but I want to move out to the PDC area come January. I will be traveling back to the states A LOT, so I will only be there 15-20 days out of the month. Does anyone have an extra room? Or looking to get a place?

Re: Official Playa Del Carmen Thread

Since the Banking in Mexico thread seems to have died I've been inquiring of this in the various Mexico threads - anyone in PDC able to withdraw to MB in USD then >>> Mexican bank account in USD? I.e. to cut way down on the vig%.

Realize this is a no-go in Border States but possible (maybe) otherwise.

hej guys,

many casinos are around playa (aprox. 60 miles) to go and play live poker ? How is the live-scene i.g. ?
