Don't worry about it. You won't be conscious when it happens. However, walking may be a little difficult for a while.

Erm, I don't know how to tell you this, but Rape isn't really the issue down there.

Sorry you wasted your money.

Your Liver and Kidneys are worth more than your Angus. Have fun good luck!

Just be careful leaving the resort after dark.

Good luck. Wife and I saw them getting stabby in town back when we where there in about 2000 or so. That was our last trip there.

Went to Puerto Vallarta a few times after that, which seemed much safer at the time. But I'm done with Mexico. Never going back.

Stay in the main tourist areas and you'll be fine.

I'd be more concerned with the water than the steak.

Getting drunk off resort .... or on it.... is your greatest risk. Plus sunburn.

Watch your ass down there buddy.

I was just there in April. It's an awesome place for sure. We stayed at the Hard Rock Cancun and everyone inside and outside of the resort was extremely friendly. Enjoy youself, no rape whistle will be needed

It's the sun you have to watch out for. I got FRIED the first day there on the beach

Us on the beach.

This is the correct answer, they will provide free drinks and remove your wallet and wife.

The only place that felt even remotely sketchy was the flea market down past the resorts, malls, and clubs. There were some sketchy looking dudes in there that caused me to hold the fiancee a little tighter.

We have found Stoli, Corona, and Quesadilla.

About an hour past dark, we are pale whit gringoes, wandering around drinking.

What could go wrong?

DO NOT DRINK THE WATER. OR HAVE ICE IN A BEVERAGE. BEER IS SAFEST BEVERAGE. TRUE STORY.

Oops.

Fucked up already.

Is ice safe if it is rinsed in STOLI ?

Corona tastes better here.

I wonder if they have a better grade saved for.domestic consumption ?

Yeah, you might get drunk and overpay for a pizza off the back of a scooter.

I wouldn't be too worried if you stay on the hotel strip area.

Water (at least at the hotels) is fine. I've been to a bunch of different parts of Mexico, and the hotel strip in Cancun is the one place I DIDN'T get the shits.

Rape maracas work better. Cartels will think your're a homo and leave you alone.

Dirty water is the biggest fear there. I was down in PdC in Aug, completely safe but I wouldn't venture out of the resort after dark personally, really no reason. I've been in far sketcher places both inside and outside of Mexico. Use your common sense and stick to the tourist areas and you'll be fine; goes without saying to avoid any illegal activity while there.

My understanding is that ice is made from purified water. This thread will bring out a horde of people who have either never been in the area or whose trip to Juarez 20 years ago is the basis for assessing all areas of Mexico.

Cancun? I'd bring a whistle.

And tequila.

And "show me your tits" beads.

Took ferry to Isle Mujeres, white sand beach. Excellent seafood.

Everybody is friendly, easygoing, and patient with the Gringoes butchering the spanish

Language.

So far, Mexico is totally unlike a Quentin Tarantino movie.

Have not yet seen an M16, nor a federale.

Not many local police, have seen a few without sidearms. Everybody pretty mellow around here.

Even tbe cabdrivers are strangely SANE.

Off isla Mujeres, day in Playa del Carmen, then 3 days scooter riding around Cozumel island. Different hotel every night, great seafood everywhere.

Lots of night time strolling around town, everybody is mellow, no hassles.

You can haggle prices at the playa shops. Never pay sticker price!

Pay with untorn US bills. The local banks rip off the locals if a bill is torn or missing a corner.

Please do not rent scooters. Too many people are injured or killed on them.

Rent a car from Isis. One street inland from the main drag. Northeast corner of square by the 7-11.

Head north about 2-3 blocks. It is a small office on the right (east side of road) near Zermatts bakery.

http://www.islacozumel.net/services/isis/

Only buy ONE WAY ferry tickets going to/from Cozumel.

Useful pictures here

The ferry pier complex at Playa del Carmen has been rebuilt. Could you take some pictures looking both directions like I have in the link above?

Not at Isis rental car company (which predates the scum in Iraq). The navy may have something similar.

Strange, in Cozumel, there were police/military everywhere. Trucks with 5-8 people in the bed armed with what ever firearms they could find would drive by constantly. M16s, Mp5s, AKs, FALs, no one had matching weapons.

Everyone drinks bottled water. Well water is too high in heavy metals to be consumed.

Steak? Eat shrimp or fish. Save the steak for when you get back to the US.

Cozumel is home to the presidential retreat and is kept very crime free. It is just north of the road to the airport on the main drag. We always see soldiers carrying weapons.

If you want sketchy in Mexico take a drive over to La Ticla in Michaucan. Or any place between Ixtapa and La Placita. On second thought that would be one hell of a long and dangerous drive. Nevermind.

Forgot to add:

Plenty of very alert, dialed in pointy-stick types on Cozumel.

Federal police, usually 4 per pickup truck. Two in cab, and two in back, very attentive,

With M16a2, always scanning, and facing opposite.

No hassles, the police completely ignored gringoes doing stupid shit on motor scooters.

I have a pic from about 4 years ago where 2 guys from our group jumped into the F150 with the rails in the bed outside of the Irish place on the main Cancun drag. No hassle, etc. It was my first time and I paid attention to where the M16's were. Coming back to the states and going through customs, I made a comment about their Beretta's and they were more testy.

"Why would you bring that up?"

Same thing when I visited Wisconsin and ended up in Illinois on a boat trip and asked about their Glocks.
