Your next holidays destination safety of course should be on your mind specially traveling with . We recommend you the following SEVEN Cancun safety tips to be well kept in your mind:

Use only marked cabs. Specially at the arrival in the airport, don’t give place to the pirates. Either taking minibuses or vans, make sure they are marked and authorized vehicles.
Girls, should travel with escort or in pairs. Although problems in tourist areas use to be are something rare, it is best always in pairs and not late nights when you are in Cancun. Hotel zone is generally even safer.
Do not drink too much – besides not getting drunk !! You cannot be always sure about the quality of the liquor in Cancun. Barmen are well known to replace the high quality liquor with cheap stuff (same bottle, worst liquor). The legal drinking age is 18 in Mexico.
Don’t venture to out-of-the-way places in a car: It will be always better if you are a newbie to go with tours, which are plentiful and at reasonably priced. Don’t take them the chance.
Drinking water in Cancun. Well, we all know about all the diseases including Hepatitis A and B that can be caused by bad water… So don’t drink the tap water, use always bottled water.
Hotels in the Hotel zone are generally safe and well-guarded. This area is tightly protected by the police, and local officials and hotel managers have a vested interest that all is quiet in the Zone. Going from the Cancun Hotel Zone to the City of Cancun, you enter in a different world. Here you are somewhat on your own. City is ok, but don’t go there late at night.
You can easily get a heat stroke if you travel inland to places like Chichen Itza. In this case take plenty of water with you and liberally splash it on you.
