A Note On Safety Concerns...
From a fellow Destination Bride that got married in Mexico March 2009...
Recently there has been a lot of talk about whether or not it's safe to go to Mexico, so I thought I'd pass along my experience to hopefully help future brides, or anyone wanting to go. DH and I did many off-resort activities and at no point did we ever feel threatened, scared, or nervous. Everyone we met was very friendly and usually struck up long conversations with us. The security going into and out of the resorts is VERY tight (all visitors are required to state why they're there, who they're visiting, and to leave id) and I got the impression that it has always been that way. The only point in time when I was slightly skeeved was when we went through a checkpoint on the main highway where the police are stationed (apparently they're scanning for suspicious vehicles and trying to prevent drug trafficking and whatnot) and they have very seriously-looking guns... but I've also seen that in the US before and have been skeeved out by that as well. But I understand that they are there to protect and to catch the bad-guys, so I'm ok with it lol. We took cabs several times and the drivers were always friendly and as long as you take the official ones (they're very easy to spot) you should have no problemo. We didn't go off the resort at night but that was mainly because there was sooo much to do at the resort that it just wasn't needed, and we were pretty pooped too! We honestly felt like all the hype was just that... PDC (especially Playacar... Love it!) felt very homey and welcoming to us. We really can't wait to go back!
Bottom line is... would you go to Philly? If you answered yes, you should feel more than comfortable going to Playa del Carmen/Tulum/Puerto Morelos and probably Cancun (we spent a total of 3 hours in cancun so I can't really speak for that city). I hope this info can help some of my lovely knotties out there!!
