Acapulco Vacation

do you think mexican resort towns like acapulco and cancun continue to be safe places to vacation?

We honeymooned in Zihua, which is considered the old acapulco of the 50’s, its just a small fishing village that grew into a vacation spot because of the hotels built in Ixtapa.

Just like in those places, the local economy’s survive on the tourist dollar, so the government is more than willing and able to provide armed guards to patrol the beaches and towns.

As backwards as mexico is its not so backwards as to shoot itself in the foot by not protecting the tourists that make up the vast majority of the local economy’s.

What people dont understand is the legal system of Mexico, if they better understood it, and understood why so many in influential positions are corrupt, then they would understand and be able to avoid things like losing all their money to a con, or ending up in jail for walking back to their hotel rooms smelling of booze at noon. Its not a complex system, its just nothing like ours.

Of course its safe, just as all travel is safe or unsafe in its own respect.
