karlanee Posted November 30, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Tom, Sally or Caro, Any idea where in Cozumel I might find an authentic mortar and pestle (a molcajete)? I'm looking for a good heavy one, like real Mexican cooks would use - not the light cheap tourist types. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CozSally Posted November 30, 2004 #2 Share Posted November 30, 2004 There are onyx sets and sets of wood. I believe you can find both at Cinco Soles. I'll check for you... I just love browsing in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlanee Posted December 1, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Thanks Sally - We will definitely be hitting Cinco Soles - so that would be great to know. Also, for you or anyone - I know that PB closes at sunset, which in January will still be around 5 or so. Any ideas on what we can do in the evening? Will the shops still be open? My husband is a paranoid with OCD tendencies - so we won't travel far from the ship. It's all I can do just to get him to take a taxi somewhere!

Cozumel_Tom Posted December 2, 2004 #4 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I have no idea...I´ll defer to Sally on this one! If you can get hubby downtown, a round of minigolf is always a good time at the beautiful course on 15th ave. http://www.cozumelminigolf.com/ After that maybe a stroll to Guido´s for a romantic dinner in the courtyard http://www.guidoscozumel.com Provecho!

karlanee Posted December 2, 2004 Author #5 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Tom, Minigolf is already in our plans! After seeing the website with pics of the lush "course" and seeing that we can radio our drink orders - we knew it was a must stop. I just wish there were mini-golf places around here so nice looking and so cheap! Can't wait! Thanks again, Sally is looking for me at Cinco Soles. If nothing else, I might be able to find one here in a Mexican grocery/food store when I get back home, if I can't find one. 47 days to Paradise Beach and Cozumel Mini-golf!! You do work on Monday's correct Tom? Glad to see we're only one of 4 ships that day (1/17) and the only ship in Playa del Carmen on Tuesday (1/18).

Cozumel_Tom Posted December 2, 2004 #6 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I may be working Monday, haven´t seen the schedule yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlanee Posted December 2, 2004 Author #7 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Tom, Sorry, I keep forgetting that it's another 47 days away! I started counting at over 150 days to go - so now it seems like it's almost tomorrow! LOL I hope to get to meet you, but if not, I know everyone there can take care of us great. What do you recommend on the menu? Also, I know that there are waiters on the beach. How does that work? Can you give me the run down - just for curiosity sake? Do we have the same server all day? And do they bring food, or just drinks? Come on - details! LOL Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozumel_Tom Posted December 2, 2004 #8 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Go plop down on a chair, a waiter will come over, and he´s yours for the rest of the day!! They´ll bring drinks and food, sing, dance, tell jokes, and babysit your kids...they´re truly amazing! My current favorites are shrimp ceviche and burrito verde! Provecho!

ready2goindec Posted December 2, 2004 #9 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Sally, could you give directions to Cinco Soles from the dock? We plan to visit PB but would also like to pick up a mortar and pestle for a gift. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandDollar Laura Posted December 2, 2004 #10 Share Posted December 2, 2004 You almost can't miss Cinco Soles, it's at the "end" of the downtown area right on the waterfront. It's big, huge, and has everything!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CozSally Posted December 2, 2004 #11 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I stopped by Cinco Soles earlier today. The authentic stone mortar and pestle is to the right of where the jars of salsas are displayed. They sell for $24.95 and they are heavy! Hope that helps...

solita Posted December 4, 2004 #12 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Also saw them at Chedraui 2 days ago. But sorry, I don't remember the price. Will look tomorrow and post info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
