    • Hello. Thanks for your question. We have not found an English speaking optometrist but some must speak some English. We are going to have to put that on our list to find in Playa because several other people have asked for one. So the fact that many people have been looking must mean there are few and far between. We will keep you posted though.

  1. Thank you for the alcohol guide and the hours for buying it. You made me save time and was very easy to find the stores with your instructions.
