    Barcelo Maya Palace! It is first class. Not cheap but very very nice. It's down past playa del Carmen. Lots of sea turtles that will swim right up to you and pretty good snorkeling right at the resort.

      The Mexican government protects the tourist cities. They want the money coming in. The drug lords protect the cities because they want the money coming in. I have been to several and always felt safe. Just don't go outside the main streets.

              I agree with this. I'm with others that I feel plenty safe down there, but if there's any doubt in her mind I wouldn't go.

                My wife always talked about Mexico and beach vacations since she went after high school to an all inclusive wedding. I've never left the USA and would only for Canada and Scotland (I WILL tour Ardbeg and Lagavulin before I die) but we went to san francisco last year, and that's about as dangerous as we will get. lol

                  Granted its been two years, we had armed guards at our resort. Definitely didn't feel safe. I won't go back any time soon, because safety was clearly an issue. If I google Cancun and Murder there are dozens of stories just form this year (Including tourist areas), Mexico also refuses to stop facilitating migrants from central america from coming to the USA illegally. Not to mention it's a known problem of the resorts serving home-made booze mixed with rubbing alcohol that is killing people.

                  Personally, I felt far safer and received better hospitality in numerous other counties that have a supposed high crime rate.

                      Never thought about it this way but you are 100% correct.

                        If you buy vehicles, fruits, veggies, pay taxes and vote for American politicians, then you are already supporting them.

                          Well I think what he's tryn to get at is if you have direct control over something like spending your tourism dollars don't spend it on a chithole country like Mexico.

                            totally safe!
                            just got back a few days ago from Cancun.

                            no armed guards. no guys running around killing people.
                            beaches were totally safe, tourists everywhere enjoying the sun and water.

                            Went fishing, caught barracuda, amberjack, sailfish.
                            Tequila tasting tour.
                            Catamaran ride to Isla mujeres.
                            snorkeling.

                            stayed at Paradisus - all inclusive. First class place. The workers there are super friendly. I was pouring myself some coffee, then out of no where waiter shows and says
                            No senor! I'll pour the coffee for you. You are on vacation. You relax and enjoy.

                            now that is what I'm talking about. Guarantee you won't get this level of service in U.S.A

                            Go. If you don't, you'll be kicking yourself later.

                              When are you going? Wife and I are thinking of going June 24-28.

                                Were considering going soon but have been worried about safety. Sound like most if yall say it's been ok. My neighbors just came back from there and said they had a blast.
