Most high-rise hotels are outside of town. Doesn't the city have regulations that prevent high-rise structures and billboards in town? I believe that most of the growth going on will be positive for the city as long as it's controlled growth and it preserves the town's ambiance.
I agree. It is impossible for Playa to become another Cancun. I have lived in both and the differences are huge, and will remain that way.
