How Safe is Cancun, Mexico?

Despite what you might hear in the media, Cancun is considered one of the safest vacation spots in Mexico, especially when staying at reputable resort properties or booking tours through legitimate companies. Tourism drives Cancun’s economy, so there is a strong emphasis on visitor protection and safety. However, being a major city, it’s important to stay smart and take precautions, much like you would in other major cities like Chicago, Detroit, or Miami. Stick to the Hotel Zone and other popular tourist areas that are well-guarded, and avoid known problem areas or high-crime zones. Rest assured, any reputable destination wedding consultant will always recommend safe locations and resort venues to ensure you and your guests have an amazing experience.
 
Your honeymoon marks the beginning of your new life together. Cancun, with its perfect blend of romance, relaxation, and excitement, offers a dreamlike setting for newlyweds.
