The Playa Del Carmen Social Club

South of Cancun, north of Tulum in the heart of the Riviera Maya

All we are hearing in Texas is how dangerous it is in Mexico now. We read where some bodies we discovered just outside of Cancun. We have always gone to Playa 2-3 times a year. But right now I am unsure. What is actually happening in Paradise?

I'm going in 4 weeks (and counting the minutes as it's raining and 40 in Chicago) and again in June. I can't wait to get back to paradise.

Where do you stay?

We always stay at one of the Rius in Playa. We will probably return in a couple of months. Now we are in St. Losis working and its 45 and misting rain. Im missing now the Texas weather, and sure missing Playa.

The media was very good last year of making Mexico dangerous. Think back and look at the timing, it was just before spring break and lasted until the end of spring break.... Where was all that money meant to be during the melt down, USA and Canada of course. Here is an interesting website that Expats in Mexico have. www.thetruthabout mexico.com

We're from Houston and that is B.S. We have been down here several times this year and never experienced anything but the friendly people and great atmosphere that is Playa. Roger www.rfiehn.com plaitinumrealtyservices.net

I'm from Houston too.. and there is no danger that i know of? unless of course you go to the places where you would find yourself in danger, that is like going to 5th ward or 3rd ward in Houston. its ok to come down, I drove down here with my 10 year old last august from Houston and there was no problem at all....
Just me, crazy woman and my baby...

Plan to go back in June, I have traveled to Playa for 16 years and went by myself after my husband passed away that is how safe I feel when I go there. It is great you will love it.

Hey Karen,

We have been going to Playa since 1992 and we are comfortable letting our 13 year old daughter 'wander' in town between the beach and 10th with some other boundaries. We agree Playa is a pretty safe place, actually safer than some of the areas close o us in the states.
