Re: Royal Hacienda (by Jim L.):
Status update from RH. Here for week 42 & 43 and having a wonderful time. Wireless internet works great, able to connect from villa balcony with strong signal. New shuttle service to Playa leaving RH at 10, 11, 12 & 1 (short 15 min ride) with returns on the 1/2 hour. Final shuttle to Playa @ 5PM with no return. If you are going to town for dinner, take the 5PM and a cab back for $10. You need to reserve a seat in advance. Trip to Wal Mart for wine, booze and steaks was easy. Shuttle into Playa, walk down 5th Ave to 8th St then just a few blocks to 30th Ave. Shop and easy walk back to shuttle pickup. The La Palapa restaurant now has a good menu for evening dinning. A shuttle is also available for a day trip to Sands on Thursday only $12 Per person. Leaves RH at 11:30 and return from Sands at 6PM. This time we did the Kitchen stuffer but will not do that again because the selections in the store are much improved.
