This find was a backpacker’s paradise and had slightly more adventurous home-cooking than all the other cafés. International dishes, such as shrimp tempura and green curry, were listed on the menu, as were plenty of vegetarian options.
Outside, the Maya Princess looked quite posh with its blue walls and fancy art, but once inside, the hot-pink walls and cushions made you feel very comfortable.
At 9 every night, a movie, which was listed outside, came on the big TV. During our visit it was a badly pirated copy of "Star Wars" that looked like someone had taken their video into a movie theatre, taped the whole thing, and added the English.
As Karl is a huge "Star Wars" fan, he sat through it, loving every minute whilst I laughed at the very bad dubbing.
Regardless (or perhaps because of the dodgy movie), it was a great night and a fun place to meet and chat with other backpackers.
As we just came here for the movie and the drinks, I can’t comment on the quality of the food. Everything that I saw on other tables looked wonderful.
It was slightly more expensive than other places, but worth the splurge for the quirky movie factor and the chance to swap stories with fellow travelers.
