When I went to Playa as a kid it was a sleepy town with hardly any buildings and had changed a lot by 2002. I was going to come out in February this year and look forward to my next visit.Charliehttp://www.ydpr.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731271236101732120.post-27044224617968512502012-11-15T09:45:54.125-06:002012-11-15T09:45:54.125-06:00Hi, Playa del Carmen was nice place even few years...Hi, Playa del Carmen was nice place even few years ago but my last experience on March 2012 was quite bad because of drugs... If you go to any nightclub toilet even toilet cleaners sniffing and proposing to try... I love mexican people and I feel sadeness when see how US, the biggest consumer of drugs in this region, affected lifes of friendly people of South and central America. xxLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731271236101732120.post-82849455203444497442012-02-26T15:03:25.362-06:002012-02-26T15:03:25.362-06:00Thanks for your note.

I hardly know the area, but many Mexicans -- people who have lived on the Yucatán peninsula their entire lives -- have told me they don't trust it any more, other than just a brief visit to the major tourist locations. But even those eventually could become risky. Once upon a time, not so many years ago, Juárez was a nice place to visit for the afternoon, to eat lunch or dinner, do some shopping, etc. But nobody goes there now, unless they're in full body armor.Edward V.

We have been going to Cancun/Playa Del Carmen for the last 20 years and the situiation is getting worse every year.
