Does anyone have any information on the "old" PLG hotel in Cozumel.   We
were there the week before they closed down for renovation and I was
wondering if anyone has seen the "new" PLG.

Think they replaced the rock hard beds they were famous for?

The last I heard, the estimates for completion have been moved back to
March/April.

It was still under major construction last week.  They had dump trucks
hauling rubble out.

Given the speed of construction in Cozumel, April is optimistic.

It's now called the Cozumel Palace. It's an all inclusive and we were very
interested in staying at in Feb. till
we got the price from my travel agent, 3000.00 for two. That's from MLT.
It's it is supposed to be open now.   I would guess that they are probably
going to be  in the fixing it up stage for many months. Looks like it's back
to the Casa Del Mar.

They're waaaay too close to town to get away with any of that AI crap.

I hope you will have a choice of all inclusive and not inclusive....

I guess I'll need to find another place to stay......we've stayed at PLG at
least nine times.  We like it because we can walk into town and have dinner
at a great place every night.  OK, OK, if we really needed to, we could have
two dinners every night and still not run out of good places to go.

I can see being an all inclusive being a disaster.  Who would eat there with
20 good places w/i a 5-10 minute walk?

On another forum, one person said he was quoted $356/night for a one
week stay at the hotel formerly known as Plaza las Glorias.  They won't
get many divers, I'll bet.

WTF are they going to offer that will make them worth that kind of money
when there are tons of much cheaper (but still very nice) accomodations
available all over the island? Hot and cold running hookers?  ;^)

Well, they did say it's All Inclusive, no?

Just returned from Coz.  Plaza Las Glorious now has "air conditioned"
rooms.  Walls have been removed and nothing replaced them yet.
There is a new condiminium next door but it will be quite a while before
PLG is open for business again.  It is now (Dec 21st) an empty shell
but they are actively working on it.

There are lots of nice places to stay on the island, but there is major
street renovation going on from the downtown to PLG.  Kind of a
mess, but due to be finished in Feb.  Baracuca is just down the street
from PLG, on the ocean, and has all ocean view rooms.

We stayed at Vista Del Mar for about $50 per night (two
weeks) for a room overlooking the street and the sea.  Friends stayed
at the Meson (on the square) for a little less, and we looked at most
of the hotels in the downtown area.  Prices ranges from  $29 per night
for air conditioned room at the Palma Dorado (nice small hotel with
rooms and suites one block from town center  -  suite for two AC,
kitchen, LR, bath and two double beds - $45 -  beds in the suite
we looked at were fabulously soft and comfortable - unusual for Coz)
to $130 for a two bedroom condo that sleeps 8 at the Hacienda San
Migel just north of downtown.

Some people don't care about where they eat, if they are certain of food
costs and free alcohol (even if it is only well drinks). Like you, we enjoy
visiting restaurants away from the resort property, so we do not stay at
all-inclusives (not to mention they are generally much more crowded) but
from what I have seen all over Mexico all-inclusives are a raging success
with most new hotels in the resort or hotel areas following that pattern.

I've never understood, unless you have kids, why anyone would stay at an all
inclusive.  OK, maybe Jamaica because of the crime, but why be a prisoner in
your own hotel?

Especially true in Cozumel.  even when my kids went we would never do an
all inclusive.

My wife and I have been at the PLG for the last four years.  If it is an
all inclusive I won't go.  Too many places to go and eat, and the price
quoted here seemed awfully high.  When I go back I may stay in one of
the places in town.

I toured Hotel Meson de San Miguel.  It's on the north side of the
plaza, about 100 yards from Ave. R Melgar.  Recently renovated, nice
rooms.  Compact, but what the heck.  Satellite TV in the room,
internet cafe downstairs, newly retiled pool.  Prices were quite
reasonable, $65/nt during high season.

I've walked into Casa Mexico as well.  The inside looked nice.  Too bad it
isn't on the water.

Because it's so enjoyable.

In Cozumel, I don't think I would stay at an all inclusive.  If I was
there by myself and was only diving I might since most (located South)
dive sites would be closer.  I do like the town square and the festival
on Sunday.  There are many great restaurants that we like to go to.  My
wife likes to shop so PLG was great.  Next time I may go and stay at one
of the hotels the dive shop has packages with.  The all inclusives are
great if your intent is to eat & drink.
