Progreso Pool Near ship ?

My wife and I were on Elation last November and visited Progreso for a day. We walked off the ship and then through the modern looking white round gift shop. There was a vendor in between that gift shop and the rest of the market that sold cold beer [3 for $10!] and had a small pool available. I was wondering if that pool is still there. I'm gonna be with a group on Elation again in November and if that pool is still there I'm thinking that it will be as far into Progreso as I get. =)

Thanks in advance ....

It's been there everytime I've been to Progreso.

maldenmusic ... SWEET !! Thanks so much.

If anyone sees me in that pool on Monday Nov 5th with my PurpleDog hat on ? Say hello and I will buy you a beer as we wait for our wives to finish buying stuff ! =)

Have a great time and drink one for me in November. I'll be there in about 30 days!

maldenmusic: If you are near the pool, and happen to think of it, could you please snap a few photos and post them ? I'd love to show the others in my party what it looks like. Do you know if it happens to have a name besides 3-beers-for-10-bucks-with-pool ?

Beer is much cheaper in Progreso.

IDK but I'll try to remember and get a picture! And the poster above is correct, there is cheaper beer in Progreso!

Thanks !

It's not so much the beer I'm after, its the pool. When we were there last November I remember walking off the ship into a blindingly hot sun and very very hot temps. I will be in that pool for sure !

If you've not been into Progreso you should at least go for a little bit. You could ride the double decker bus for $3 which is a total hoot. The bus driver will show you who has the best beer and tequila specials. Progreso isn't my ideal destination but I"m always glad I at least go for a little while!

PurpleDog. Nov temps should be in the eighties or upper seventies. I'm about 70 miles south of you and that's no worse than a typical summer day here I'll be visiting Merida/Progreso the end of Oct and early Nov which I've done comfortably before.

You can check historic temps for any month thru http://www.yucatantoday.com Just check "weather" on the opening page, I think.

Has anyone been to Progreso lately and seen if the pool is still there ?

Thanks in advance ....
