Three years ago I did a long trip to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. I posted a detailed trip report with a description and photo of almost every single mongering spot. I don't post to win awards, but I'm kind of amazed that report didn't get an award here. It was the most detailed trip report of PDC ever posted - no chica photos but rich in tactical field info for a destination that is seldom reported on.

Anyways, I concluded that report saying I would return. And I did. Here's an update hot off the press.

Signs and posters advertising New Years Eve events in the area.

Transportation

The bus from Cancun airport to PDC cost 156 pesos ($12). A much better deal than the $70 taxi ride I was quoted. Bus is large and modern. You just walk out of the terminal and veer right to the ADO bus area. You buy your ticket at a small makeshift booth right next to the buses. I arrived early evening and caught the 19:50 bus. They said the bus ride is 1h but it's more like 1h15 due to a couple stops.

Return ticket is the same price. First buses leave the ADO bus terminal in PDC at 4:30 and 5:00am, which works well if you have an early flight.

Hotels

First thing was to check into my hotel. You can catch a taxi right next to the ADO bus terminal on Av. Benito Juarez.

The week between Christmas and NYE is the busiest week of the year in PDC and you MUST have hotel reservations in advance. Not only that, but you should book at least a couple weeks in advance and probably more. I was scrambling two weeks before emailing and calling places. I got lucky and was able to find rooms for my 4 nights in town. 1 night at one hotel then 3 nights at a second hotel, both around $160 peak season rate. Peak season rates are sometimes double the low season rate. If I had waited another day or two I might have been forced to get $400 rooms at resorts out of town and I would have been pissed.

Vitamin V

The first night I stopped at a pharmacy, which are open fairly late. Got some generic vitamin V @ 4X100mg for 160 pesos ($12). Turned out to be far too much, as I only take a small amount when I really need it, which turned out to be twice @ 50mg. So I only used a quarter of it.

Day 1

I arrived in the evening and was checked into my hotel just after 9pm. Half unpacked, quick shower and headed out to enjoy the night. I had my mind set on Marlin but it was still early.

I remembered where Club Abrevader was (on the way to Marlin) and went over. This place had been on my radar last trip as a potential hot spot. Not sure if things changed but it is now just a social club where local men come to drink and dance with chicas. I guess the chicas make a commission off drinks or something. There were about 8 chicas all in the range 6-7, and all were taken. There is no take-out here. I had a drink and watched others enjoy themselves until it was time to head over to Marlin.

The door guy at Marlin greeted me with a smile and motioned me to go in. I half expected him to hit me up for $20 so I had a 100 peso bill ready as a counter propina. Although it appeared I could have walked in free, I still gave him the 100 pesos for good will.

The waiters competed for me a bit to sit in their sections. I took my time and sat where I wanted to. Club was not too busy, maybe 15 chicas and 10 guys. I ordered a drink and mentioned to my waiter that I had had a good time with Venezolanas last time. Before long I had a hot young Venezolana with fake DDs in my lap by the name Emily. Bought her a drink and she provided some OK touching and contact for 15 minutes or so. Instead of buying a second drink I took her back for some private lap dances. They say the dances are only 3 minutes long, but they are longer especially if you tip the lady who collects the money. I needed to bust a load with Emily and after some fondling and tame grinding I unzipped my pants and invited her to play with me. With just a little encouragement she went along and I was getting a decent handjob as the first song ended. That was enough to continue for two more songs (we had to stop and pay up front). I enjoyed her DDs and she finished me off during the third song. Just what I needed and much cheaper than getting a private room at Marlin. Cost for three songs was 3X24 = $72 US and I gave the dance manager lady $80 and said to keep the change. Emily also asked me to tip the guy timing the songs and I gave him 100 pesos. I viewed the tipping as insurance for extended song times next visit. I also tipped Emily $20 as I had promised her. So total cost for the dances and relieving my holiday sperm buildup about $110.

Although I thought the night might be winding down, it was not. I went back to my seat and ordered another drink. At some point I look behind me and see an attractive Mexicana looking at me. I turn around again for a double take at this beauty. She takes that as her cue to come over. As we chat I am amazed to realize I fucked her 4 years ago in Cancun. Amazing! Based on various details we discuss as well as my memory of her I am 100% sure it's the same chica from Cancun. I'll call her "M". I buy her a drink and we have a long chat. She is looking radiant, healthy and beautiful. Fun, friendly, good energy. I start thinking about a second nut tonight with her, and agree to a 1500 peso option for 1 hour with her in a more private area of the club with a bottle of champagne. I got the impression it would be private enough for her to give me a HJ, but it was upstairs on the second floor and not totally private. Still, I did get a full hour with her and we alternated between drinking the champagne, talking and (mostly) sensual lap grinding, tit-sucking and fondling. She stroked and briefly sucked me at one point but she couldn't do it for long. Well I had blue balls but it was a fun hour. She slipped me her number and we agreed to meet the next day.

COSTS AT MARLIN:
Tip to doorman 100 pesos
2 drinks for me 120 pesos
Emily's drink 240 pesos
M's drink 240 pesos
Lap dances with Emily $110 US
Private hour with M 1500 pesos
Tip to waiter 400 pesos (high, 15% enough)

TOTAL: About $300 US plus a small tip to M. More than I expected to spend tonight, but not by much and it stretched for 2 hours. Plus I met M and so already on my first night in town I had a great OTC option. Solid first night.

Correction- I did not pay for any lap dances at Marlin up front. All was paid at the end of the dances. But I had first requested one dance, and we had to stop and Emily go out to let them know I wanted more dances.

Day 2

Slept in, changed hotels and went for a massage on Quinta Avenida AKA 5th Avenue. Good massage but nothing sensual provided or hinted at. One hour for 350 pesos. Called M to confirm our date later. She was game as she comes in from Cancun each day anyways. So she would just come in earlier and spend a few hours with me before going to Marlin.

Met M around 3pm a block down from my hotel. She was in good spirits and so was I. The level of anticipation was high. Walked back to my hotel and we made out and fucked bareback like rabbits. The BBFS was no surprise as we did it the last time years ago. Although I let her initiate it, which she did. She wanted it. She came first in cowgirl. Then later I finished in missionary, pulling out to blow all over her chest. We rested in bed together for awhile. Cleaned up, got dressed and walked over to the beach. Hung out at a place playing house music and had a snack and drinks while lounging in the sun. Walked back to hotel and repeated another BBFS session. She invited me for dinner but I had something I wanted to take care of. So our date was about 3 hours and I gave her the $150 we had agreed on. One of my best dates ever. Fantastic and thoroughly satisfying.

Here's a couple photos of M on the beach.

Nice report so far, I hope there's more coming. I've been to Playa Del Carmen but only passing through with enough time to check out Pleasure Palace, which wasn't bad, but it was pricey.

PDC seems like it could work for a combined monger/non monger vacation, which is what I prefer these days. Life's too short to come back home and tell friends and family that you stayed in an armpit for vacation.

I like that a few people here will report on somewhere new, as life is too short to keep going back to the same mongering destinations for vacation, and your reporting on PDC makes it possible for people to visit the Yucatan peninsula, see amazing Mayan ruins, scuba dive, fish, eat great food and still monger.

It's much appreciated.

Porker- interesting, I didn't realize I was capturing a piece of Carlos Slim's empire in my photo. Not surprising though.

BigPoppa- more coming, including a review of PP. I also prefer destinations that are interesting in themselves, not just for the mongering. PDC is a good one... not great for mongering but the beach and other activities are great. Although the mongering has the potential to be quite good if you know how to navigate. Thanks for the feedback.

Day 2 - cont.

After M left I cleaned up and took care of some business. It was still too early to hit the clubs so I figured I would get a massage to kill the time.

This time I tried a place called Harmony Massage. One of my objectives this trip was to see if I could uncover any chicas at the numerous massage places that would do a little extra. I was spent from my date with M, but could not resist seeing what Harmony might have to offer. It turned out to be easy here. The chica I walked up the stairs with was young and attractive. She took me into a room and closed the door and asked what I wanted. She listed the options and the last option was called something like "massage especiale". Well you can guess where this was going. Not sure if it included full sex or not but she asked 1500 pesos. I said that was too much I just wanted a combined therapeutic & sensual massage. I offered $40 and she said $50 and I agreed. She didn't provide this type of massage herself but would introduce me to her friend. Her friend was Luz, mid-twenties, a bit thick but decent looking. Massage was OK, HJ no problem and she let me feel her tits while she stroked me. She did it for quite awhile, I was not finishing soon it being my third shot in six hours. Eventually I finished myself. Guess I overdid it today, but had to finish what I started with Luz. I did not pay Luz directly, instead I had to dress and go outside the room to pay the first chica. I gave $50 plus the $30 tip I had agreed with Luz. $80 total. The chica made a lame effort to pretend she had not said it was $50 base price, but I held firm and she did not push it further. All things considered, I was pleased to have discovered this option at Harmony and knew I would likely return, in better form.

To finish the evening I had an excellent dinner on 5th Avenue, then visited a couple strip clubs. See my earlier PDC trip report for photos and addresses. First was Farillon, went in and made sure I would not have to pay a cover. The guy said no and I sat down at a table and bought a beer for 40 pesos. At some point the guy comes back and says there is a 200 peso cover. I tell him it's impossible. He repeated his statement and I again firmly said it was impossible. He got the hint and went away. Lot of guys here but just a couple OK looking chicas so I left after my beer. Next stop Baby's Hot (formerly called Blackjack) just a few blocks down from Farillon on the main highway. Good time, got some laps with a couple chicas but that was it. Will post price info later.

Here's a photo of Harmony Massage. It's almost right across from the ADO bus station on 5th Avenue. The rooms are private, the massage tables are large and comfortable and the decor clean with a zen-like peaceful atmosphere.

I think this is the massage place I went to on Day 2 in the early afternoon. Just a regular massage. It was in a private room but the chica left the door open.

Here is the flyer for Harmony Massage.

Day 3

This was the day of NYE. The day was fairly normal, but the night was full of ups and downs. Or more specifically, several downs and a big UP to finish. This inspired the title of my trip report, though I found 'Ebb and Flow' to be more poetic and apropos for PDC.

Spent much of the afternoon at the beach by the place playing house music. One of the beach waiters said there was a minimum charge of 200 pesos for food & drinks and to use their beach furniture. But this did not prove true. Today I ordered only 130 pesos worth of food and drinks and was charged 130. Though I always gave the beach waiters a good tip since they provided good service and are sometimes overworked.

Also took in another massage at a different massage place. It was on the street going down to the Pier to Cozumel. Their card says Spa Sensations but I don't recall if that was the name on the door. They advertised a special for $20 US an hour and I went for it. The rooms on the main level had thin curtains not doors so not 100% private. There was also a massage table on the second floor and we took that. The chica was young and fairly attractive and once again I wanted to see what might be possible. Shortly after she starts the massage she explains there are 3 massage options at different prices. She offers to demonstrate each and does. One is regular massage for $20, next option deep tissue for $40, and third option something else I don't remember for $60. I said I wanted a regular massage and a bit sensual and we agreed on $40. I assumed she knew what sensual was and would deliver. But I was wrong. I just got a regular (but good) massage for $40. It was all upsell. I wasn't surprised though. Most of these places are strictly legit.


NYE EVENING

I had a slow crash and burn across four clubs tonight.

La Selba. Thought I would start here since I recalled from last trip it would be open early evening. But it was closed. Got dinner at the adjacent restaurant and after I finished the club was still closed.

La Hueba. Went over here around 10:30pm and it was open. But no customers and no chicas. Guy said it was still early.

Baby's Hot. Rolled over here around 10:45pm. Soon after sitting down and getting my first beer I got the attention of a hot blond I had seen on stage last night. She was the only dancer last night who actually got guys to tip while she was on stage. Her name was Estefany. Older chica perhaps early thirties, very confident and at ease. Slim tan hardbody with D cups. Probably has always received plenty of attention from men. Guess it was my turn tonight. I ended up buying her three drinks to sit with me at my table for almost an hour. She provided some good table dancing, grinding and occasional roaming with her hands. I was able to roam with my hands too. Not a bad deal for 3 drinks each 240 pesos (about $50 total). I figured I was going to ring in the new year with her. But it went south. The first problem was she was a big tease and wouldn't go too far with me. She provided some brief rubbing with her hands and breasts on my crotch but wouldn't continue when I asked. But the main problem was she got increasingly pre-occupied and distracted. Partly with some new year's ritual involving writing stuff down on paper, then just looking around the club as if I wasn't there. When she did this for a full minute I felt insulted and got up and left. Perhaps she did not want to ring in the new year with me. I leave and grab a taxi back to La Hueba, but it was just closing. No chicas had showed up. Get back in the cab and head to Marlin.

Marlin. I roll into Marlin 5 minutes before midnight. Just a few customers and chicas. All the chicas are occupied, except perhaps one but she doesn't come over to me. The waiter doesn't help me out with chicas either. I get a drink and watch the giant TV screen as the new year rings in. It was fucking depressing. I rang in the new year sitting alone at a table in a strip club in Mexico. There were a few Mexican guys sitting alone or in pairs just a few tables over and I thought of walking over to them to toast the new year with them. But I didn't. Meanwhile the few tables where guys had chicas were cheering and drinking and celebrating. Even the waiters were celebrating with each other. Eventually my waiter comes by to wish me happy new year and I can tell he saw I was sad. I walked out soon after.

So I'm walking down Av. Juarez wondering what to do. I felt like shit. I had exhausted my strip club options. Didn't feel like getting a beer at a regular place and watching other people have fun. Didn't want to go back to my hotel either. What to do?

And then by some miracle, something pops into my head..... PLEASURE PALACE. Yup it was just a few blocks ahead as I walked toward 5th Avenue. I get there and it is open. Lady greets me with a smile and takes me into a room on the main level. I sit down as one good looking chica after another come in to introduce themselves. There were 8 chicas total, most 7.5-8 with a few 8.5-9. A fantastic lineup. The lady manager comes back and asks me to pick a chica before we discuss pricing. I come outside the room and they are all lined up smiling back at me. I make my pick and go back in the room with the manager. I was clear with her I didn't have much and didn't want to spend much. She asks what I was thinking of spending. I proposed 2000 pesos for 30min. She says the minimum for 30min is 2100 pesos. I counter 2200 for 45min. She counters 2200 for 40min and I agree. That's about $160 US, much better than the usual $250-$300, and 40 minutes was plenty for me. My chica was a stunner. Early twenties, black hair, slim, tan, natural DDs and very attractive. Soft spoken and sweet. A real babe. She takes my hand and walks me upstairs to a very nicely-furnished room and I had a wonderful time. All my sadness and disappointment vanished. A transformative session. Though not GFE, she accomodated all my requests. We still had some time left after I finished, we cuddled on the bed for awhile then showered. We probably went 45min. As I dressed and thanked her she looked at me sweetly and then kissed me before we left the room.

Back outside, I walked down 5th Avenue in the direction of my hotel. I felt renewed. I felt so good I was almost floating. I had no envy of all the NYE revellers I passed who were with friends or family. I knew I had just had a great experience and felt fortunate. I smiled as it occured to me the name of the chica I had just had at PP - Estefany - was the same name as the chica who had let me down at Baby's Hot. And as I observed the swing in my emotions, I wondered why my happiness should be so dependent on my experiences with women. I knew I was attached, but that knowledge did not prevent me from enjoying the moment.

Nice going Esteban! I think your NYE situation is a common one for single guys. Our society just places too much emphasis on the arbitrary start and finish point of a planet's lap around the sun, and the importance of ringing it in with an epic party that it often leads to nights like yours.

I've learned not to have a busy agenda on NYE because it never works out. My record was a sloppy foray through Manhattan with my idiot friends when I was in my early 20s. If I were in PDC solo on NYE, I may have gone to PP first say at 8 PM and then with the tension released get some good dinner with a little wine. Then over to the strip clubs for more drinking. Sometimes getting the sex out of the way early makes the rest of the night more fun because there's no longer a goal to achieve, you can just relax and go with the flow. Sometimes this leads to another round with someone for me, and if not, who cares? I already got laid.

Yes- getting the tension released early evening and then just enjoying the rest of the evening is a format I have used at times. After dinner and some wine/beer, it is often too early to call it a night so I'll sometimes go to a club for an hour. Usually it will be just to have a drink and scout the talent for a future visit, though at times I have pulled the trigger again. I don't plan too much and go with the flow. It's a good format where the club action gets going late and you don't want another night of taking a chica out late and getting to bed at 3 am.

Here are the cards for Marlin and Pleasure Palace.

Day 4

Another day mostly at the beach. Did some shopping on 5th Avenue. Tried an afternoon massage again at a different place. This time it was Oasis Massage which is on 5th Avenue just down from Harmony. Had a young fairly attractive masajista by the name Anais. But nothing sensual. Oh well it was still a good massage. $30 and gave $10 tip.

XXX Massage Session

In the evening I ended up following the format just discussed above with Bigpoppa. Early evening I went over to Harmony where I had had a sensual massage a couple days earlier (see Day 2 post above). Chatted with the chica and guy at the entrance on 5th Avenue. They said the chica I had before wasn't working, but there was another chica who would be just what I was looking for. However she was occupied at the moment. They showed me a photo of her - good looking chica in a seductive pose. You know when they show you photos on their cell phone, there is more going on here than just a massage. Walked around and came back in half an hour. Was introduced to the chica whose name was Cecilia - she looked like the chica in the photo. Dark hair, a few extra lbs but good looking, natural C/D cup. She was friendly with a relaxed and confident vibe. In the room she closed the door and we discussed. I said I wanted about 15 minutes regular message, then flip over for a sensual massage leading to a long teasing handjob. She hinted at more but I didn't pursue it. She wanted $100 but I said $80 and a $20 tip if we have a good time. She agreed. First 15 minutes face down and she gave a good massage with a hint of sensuality. Nice. I turned over and this is when things slowly started getting more intense. Started with a small towel barely covering me while she worked on my legs, sliding far up my thighs to my waist area, occasionally grazing my balls and cock. It didn't take long before I sprung a large tent below the small towel. After awhile the towel disappeared. More teasing and it was exquisite. As she could tell from all the precum I was leaking. It was just what I wanted, but she had more in mind. She got up on the table and positioned herself between my legs. Slowly she progressed from hands to lips and mouth on my shaft. She took her top off and lubed her tits with baby oil and took me between them for awhile. Then back to teasing with her lips and mouth. Then into BBBJ with full deepthroat. Back to her tits for some titfucking, then again her mouth and throat. Balls deep. It was unreal. After awhile she speeds up her sucking and I blow. I come hard as she finishes me with her hand. Cecilia is obviously skilled at what she does and enjoys it too. It was one of the most hardcore massage sessions I've ever had. Got dressed and outside the room paid $100 to the reception guy. As before, the massage chica herself did not accept any money directly.

I walked back to my hotel and relaxed and took a shower. Then headed far down 5th Avenue to an Argentine parilla. Had a great steak and some red wine. I was done and felt so mellow I wasn't even tempted to hit the clubs on this my last night. Good thing because I had to get up at 5am to catch the bus to Cancun airport. Reflecting on the day's events beginning with Pleasure Palace just after midnight, I concluded that 2015 had got off to an excellent start.

Bravo Esteban! I know that PDC isn't on anyone's must do mongering list so this report may not appeal to them.

But as someone who's been to the Yucatan Peninsula and PDC before, I loved it. It's always great to know that you can vacation somewhere without having to give up mongering. Most mongering centers are in locations nowhere anyone would want to be in for any reason except mongering and it gets old to me.

The numbers of women usually mean you have to dig out the beauties amongst the crowd, which consequently lowers your standards. I've been guilty of it and the abundance of PI pics on this board I think speak to this.

Anyhow, thanks again for the report, it was fun to read and good intel

Thanks for reading Bigpoppa.

PDC is definitely a different type of trip. One thing that is missing compared with other large latin cities are take-out options. There is no place to go in the evening to take a chica home for an hour or TLN. You can do the leg work and get phone numbers, but that takes time. Since I enjoy those types of clubs, PDC will never be a frequent destination for me. But when I find myself missing the beach, it's a good option. I will probably be back again sometime.

I had a few more photos so what the heck I'll post them.

No Le Digas a Mama! A taxi driver told me about this place and drove me over. It's on Constituyentes one block from the main highway. Bouncer walked me up to the second floor. It was early, just a few customers and 1-2 chicas. I wasn't impressed, but might have considered staying for a drink. But I asked about the fees and they said there was a minimum 500 pesos consumption charge. That seemed ridiculous for such a low-caliber place so I walked out.


Baby's Hot. Formerly called Blackjack. See info above. There is no cover charge but the guy at the door expects a tip, 30 pesos worked for me.


Malibu. I think this is a new club, since it's on the main highway right between Baby's Hot and Marlin but I didn't remember it from last trip. Did not have time to check it out.


Marlin. Looking almost identical as the last time.



Some photos on 5th Avenue.












And some beach shots.
