Renovated Plaza Los Glorious - Cozumel

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.

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? ;^)

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.

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

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.
