Doesn’t sound like a very safe place for Spring break
Anyone who would vacation in Mexico deserves to get whatever happens. Called Darwinism.
Cabo and Acapulco are worse.
What is amazing is how fast all these places have turned from being a ‘safe’ place to being a ‘deadly’ place...Have not been to Cancun but the location I’ve been watching is the southern part of the Baja… San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. As an example, Cabo San Lucas had 49 homicides in 2016 and 286 for just the first 11 months of 2017. Bottom line is that when folks tell you some location is ‘safe’, that might have indeed been the case a week/month/year ago but today it might be absolutely the opposite.
“While it’s the third shooting on the beach in Cancun this year, tourists will struggle to find any information about the shootings online.
So why are these crimes kept so hush-hush?
“We’ve been told that local politicians here have put the press under pressure not to report violence in this area, because if the tourists are scared away from here, it will be an economic disaster not only for Cancun, but for Mexico.””
Sounds just like the Inner Harbor in BALTIMORE, and probably a decent number of other US cities. If the crimes aren’t disclosed, they never happened, and whitey just keeps coming back...and getting rolled.
Cancun is basically a Island, they need checkpoints when entering to keep the riff raff and criminals out. Same thing in Jamaica, the people/beggars have ruined the experience. If you want tropics, try Key West in AMERICA or some of the Bahamian islands.
Mexico is dangerous??? Who knew?
Get some kick-ass insurance backed by tough men with guns, kids...

I went to Acapulco in 1985. We stayed at the Acapulco Princess and were told that we could not wear jeans. Nice place. While there we were told to stay in the city and to not go on the beach after dark. They had the city safely protected for the tourists. Our money was their lifeline. Looks like it is really messed up now.
