The Taste of Playa is a community-oriented event in the true sense of the term. Each year the Taste of Playa has supported the local community through the donation of a portion of the event proceeds to benefit a local, non-profit food or clean drinking water program. With the goal of supporting community programs and having a positive effect on the residents of Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya, the Diamonds International Taste of Playa 2011 Executive Committee has elected to donate a portion of this year’s proceeds to be administered by the Rotary Club of Playa del Carmen for a local food or fresh drinking water program.
The Rotary Club of Playa del Carmen is part of the Rotary International organization, with over 33,000 clubs and 1.22 million members worldwide. The Rotarians, who’s best known motto is “Service above Self”, provide humanitarian services by working internationally and locally to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, provide education and job training and promote peace in the world. The Rotary Club of Playa del Carmen has been working within the community to build goodwill and peace since its creation in 1992. One of the goals reached by the local Club is its Playa del Carmen Community Center which works with medical and dental offices, literacy programs for adults and children and a drug prevention center.
The Taste of Playa 2010, through its donation to the Rotary Club of Playa del Carmen, provided 4000 breakfasts to children participating in a summer school program organized by DIF (Desarrollo Integral de La Familia). The Taste of Playa 2009 donation was awarded to Ak Lu’um International School to provide the school with clean, safe drinking water for students, teachers and volunteers. This year, Diamonds International Taste of Playa 2011 is happy to continue its community support by again providing a donation of a portion of the event proceeds to the Rotary Club of Playa del Carmen to administer the donation to a local food or drinking water program.

Un-told millions of dollars worth of real estate are sold every year in Playa del Carmen and all up and down the Cancun-Tulum corridor. (I say “un-told” as actual selling prices are a well-guarded secret in the Riviera Maya real estate community) During this huge surge in development that the region has been experiencing throughout the past decade, the majority of the sales have been of new, modern, unfurnished condominiums and villas. Once the sales transactions are completed and the keys delivered, the new owners are left with the task of furnishing and equipping their new vacation home or investment property. In response to this need, dozens of furniture stores have sprung up in town and all along 307 with enormous, bright showrooms and a dizzying array of floor models on display. For the new home owner in Playa del Carmen, there are a myriad of options to choose from….assuming you have the time.
If you have unlimited time and a healthy budget, shopping for each piece and negotiating the price can be accomplished with relative ease. Arranging for transport and accepting delivery is quite another matter. As many people who invest in Playa del Carmen real estate maintain a career and a permanent residence abroad, many Buyers simply do not have the time to properly furnish and equip their new investment properties in Mexico.
