Mexico has big problems, but those problems rarely if ever affect tourists coming to Cancun. Worry about hurricanes, or rain, or sunburn, or hangovers...and wear your seatbelt when you ride in a car here. But don't worry about the drug war, it doesn't affect tourists here. As for the Swine Flu outbreak it's as common in the U.S. as it is here. According to the <a href="http://portal.salud.gob.mx/sites/salud/descargas/pdf/influenza/situacion_actual_epidemia_160709.pdf" rel="nofollow">Mexican Health Secretary</a> [PDF] there were 196 confirmed cases of H1N1 in the state of Quintana Roo on July 16th (Quintana Roo comprises the Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen and Cancun). The state of Quintana Roo has around 1.2 million people in it. So your chances of contracting the disease here seem pretty low. In fact, I'll bet you are at greater risk of getting H1N1 from flying in a plane than from being here. In short, I wouldn't worry about catching H1N1 here. Hope that helps! KelJen – RELAX!!!

My parents have a time share out there at the Crown Paradise they are willing to give us...honestly, I am one of those worry wars, my future husband--not so much. He is all about Cancun, I am nervous. How is the swine flu outbreak out there? And yes, of course, the drug cartel?? Please let me know so we can finally plan this honeymoon of our dreams! (I have been to Cancun plenty in the past, but not since 16 years old...LOVE IT, but now have reservations about going).... Hi there,

By August most locals expect things to be back to normal. But honestly right now the clubs are busy! So don't even worry about it! Just come and have a great time!

Cancun was more perfect than we remembered. We had a blast and were completely as ease once we checked-in and got in vacation mode. There were no signs of violence at all and actually the people, employees and everyone in general were much more pleasant and accommodating than you will find in Pennsylvania. Thanks again for this website. Hey RiverGirl,
