Default POP info

Food retail establisments include Tropical, Messon & Juan Luis. All are "supermerchados", which means shopping carts, airconditioning, CC services and grocery delivery to your car.
There is one movie theater in town.
Library Services?????

Those are the three that we use but Meson only as a last resort...just don't like shopping there for some reason. The three sell the same stuff so there is not much variety but for some reason there is a big difference in prices on the same products. Some days you can save by shopping in Tropical over Jose Luis and other days it's the other way around but I can't tell you why that is.

As for movies, 6 months late and probably already out on HBO you'll get the blockbusters in Playa Dorada but any popular movie will attract a big crowd and that means that you'll have a circus in the theater with cell phones ringing, kids crying, people chatting etc.

Library??? Oh, I remember...they have books there, the kind with more words then pictures! Forgetaboudit!
