The resorts there and in places like Jamaica close off the rest of the country.
That I’ll visit.
Not sure you’re really safe in those resorts. I know someone who was running security for one of those resorts. Don’t wander around outdoors after dark. They have lots of guys patrolling after dark with night vision glasses, fully armed. Guests turn up dead but it’s kept quiet.
Also, in those resorts, there have been some deaths per “doctored” drinks.

This is serious, once upon a time, I’d go to Juarez from time to time, in 2006, the cartel wars hit, human heads were put in a cooler and left outside a police station. No thanks. It was already a dangerous place with these women disappearing or being killed.
