Playa Laud ?

Saw a billboard yesterday on the way to Ixtapa and Playa Quieta advertising (I think) lots for sale on Playa Laud.
We've never heard of Playa Laud. Where is it?

As for Playa Quieta, we enjoyed it. Big surf, but little of the strong undertow of Playas Palmar or Larga/Blanca. Watch for submerged (and dangerous) rocks at the north end of Playa Quieta.
The only jarring notes were the white-outfitted Club Med security guards, looking like admirals in the Iraqi Navy, intent on making sure that riffraff like us didn't stray onto "their" beach.
An irritant was an hour of awful, incredibly loud pounding music from Club Med's pool area....arranged, I guess, by those ubiquitous "recreation directors". Kinda made Playa Quieta sound more like Playa Laud, if you catch my drift. And we were set-up at least 300 meters away! The thought of paying Big Bucks to stay at a Club Med, only to be assaulted in that way boggles the mind. But it only drowned out the sound of the surf for an hour or less. It felt so wonderful when it stopped!
Oddly, almost every person on the beach, (including us, by the way, but we're on the Anglophone team), was a Quebecer. Even the recreation director was shouting in French. Maybe it was a convention?
