[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mexico has been unsafe for years. I don’t get why people still go there. So many other options.[/quote]

Because it's not unsafe in that Riviera Maya area normally.  Tourism is a big source of income for Mexico, they prioritize keeping tourist zones safe.  I go every year with my kids and love it.  I'm sorry this threat has happened.[/quote]

But there are lots of other places in the Carribbean you could go that you would love too, and have less risk. I agree most people will still be ok, but why take a chance? Lots of other nice places are happy to take your money. Plus why not try somewhere new? Mexico beaches were just meh compared to the carribbean places I’ve been.[/quote]

I agree with the PP who said people go there because it's cheap.  It's also (from this area at least), relatively east to get to compared to other places in the Caribbean.  I've been to Cancun twice and we liked it, but I basically felt like I was in Florida.  There's not a lot of Mexican culture in the Hotel Zone.  [/quote]
