As some readers may know, Club Yebo is a very popular small hotel on 1st Avenue. Many of us are reluctant to talk about this hidden gem to the small size and the awesome rates. But they recently added more rooms and it’s now called Kinka’a. As of this posting, guests of Kinka’a are still welcomed to use the Playa Palms beach free of charge.
My room is VERY CUTE and VERY LITTLE, but it’s all I need. The bed is comfy and the palapa roof is keeping the water out. Here are few pictures.
My room is on the left. These stairs go up to the pool area of Club Yebo/Kinka'a

I am checked into my room and log onto the internet and start sending out messages to my who I am supposed to meet up with me. Mellie and Red responded they are hanging out the hotel and we agree to meet up at Dirty Martini a bit.
As I run up the short way to Dirty Martini, I see a blonde woman wearing something interesting and she is waving at me. I get a little closer and I realize its Penny and she is wearing a garbage bag! Even a garbage bag makes her looks fabulous. She tells me that she and Glenn are riding around town on the scooter and they are keeping dry in the garbage bags! Cute!!
Penny in her Fab Bag!
Warm hugs to Mellie and Red (Jenny) and we all settle in for some drinks. Mellie is drinking a Ginger Martini (what else from a Red) and I sample it! Yummy!! I realize I have no money and Penny buys me my Ginger Martini (uh..thanks Penny..I just realized at this moment I never paid you back!! :o:o:o). Penny and Glenn are off on the scooter and Red, Mellie, and I have another drink and decide to move on to Babe’s.

Ah, but wait, I ask if they’ve had a Blended Mojito from La Tortuga and the answer was ‘no’. A quick change of route and a break in the downpour and we in the reception area of La Tortuga and being greeted by Anna Tortuga in the flesh! Love this woman!
Off to the bar we go and order 3 blended mojitos. Arguable the best drink in Playa!! We take some pictures and hang out in the bar. Even if you don’ t stay here, you must go to the bar here and relax with a drink. It’s really one of the most beautiful places in Playa. The rain comes down hard while we are here. But it doesn’t matter. We are having yummy drinks, laughing, and just catching up. I haven’t seen Mellie and Red in two years, and I’m just so happy to see them again!

We decide to move onto Babe’s for some dinner and we luck out as the rain has seemed to let up. Off we go around the corner and grab a table on the street. Crab rolls for me and of course I forgot what Mellie and Red ordered (Chicken Pad Thai? Vietnamese Shrimp Salad?)
Babes!!

Jenny doesn't like to use a fork or chopsticks! :p
