Yes we all certainly have our likes and preferences. Some friends love the touristy Cancun area, others love Holbox and IM…In our case we much prefer staying on the peninsula and being able to easily visit so many different areas, including Merida and other areas of Yucatán, Q Roo proper, and of course the beautiful islands…The RM has something for everyone, and over time you find that spot…We do love staying on our favorite islands, but they are elsewhere in the Carib and much less busy…

And I wish Coz was as it was decades ago in terms of the cartels (and the overcrowded beaches) but it seems that unique distinction is no more…I will say politicians are the real problem, and the tourism $$$ are obviously very attractive…

But as long as you are able to safely enjoy your visits that is what matters 😉
