I have been to the Mayan Riviera in 2009 and again in 2010 with my 3 small children. No one in our group had one bad experience. The resorts are beautiful and the employees treat you like gold. I have taken the collectivos (public transit) 8 times and was surrounded by other tourists. I met a woman from Chicago that was mugged outside Tulum after dark when she got off the collectivo and was walking alone back to her vacation house. This happens all of the time in the US. I will be going back next year as well. Beautiful weather and beaches.

Well, here is my two cents. I was in Cozumel and Playa del Carment the week swine flu hit the news. I saw a few armed military, but no drunks and had no problems what-so-ever. We had a fantastic time. It was after spring break so we didn’t see big crowds and our side excursions (eg. Chichen Itza and a cenote swim, snorkeling, etc.) were great. And, by the way, no one is our party got sick either. So much for Moctezuma.

The reports of violence in Mexico have been greatly sensationalized by the US media and the rabid right wingers who take anything as an opportunity to bash Mexico and it’s citizens.

As I am writing this, I am sitting on the patio of my home in the suburbs of Monterrey, having driven down here from the border after a weeks work cycle in the US.

The roads are safe, day and night, if you use common sense. Between Nuevo Laredo and Monterrey for instance, there are no less than 5 military checkpoints and a multitude of roving PFP patrols.

As mentioned in the article, use common sense, show respect and you will receive it in return.

I’m not saying Mexico is a utopic haven by any means, but it is still a wonderful country to visit or in my case, live in.

It seems like most of the drug war news has died down quite a bit. I wouldn’t be worried at all especially after reading this. Seems like you’ve put it all into perspective and that’s great. The kids will have so much fun. I think I read on here you were going to marry at Dreams Tulum and I’ve heard it’s just gorgeous. I’m so jealous – have fun. LOL
