Quoted from pinfarmer:I'm surprised anyone goes to Mexico still. Just the thought of a issue is enough to spoil it for.me.
I found food is super important at a resort and the one I mentioned was unbelievable compared to the best I've had in Mexico some years ago. There are no water issues in Jamaica either.
Crime rates are much higher in Jamaica then Mexico. I've been to both and WOULD go back to either...this coming from someone who was robbed in both countries. I have a tendency of going off the beaten patch where those things happen. With that said, I will continue to wander off the beaten patch, because those have also been some of my best experiences. If you are staying at an all inclusive you have almost a zero percent chance of anything happening.
