Question

Does anyone know of a credible website that gives stats about Cancun (ie: crime rate, etc...)? And what are your experiences there, are they good or bad and why? Would you let your 17 year old son go out at night with his friends to clubs, why or why not? And what is the best transportation method to get around? Thanks very much

Answer 1

http://www.tripadvisor.com is very informative for all types of questions , they have forums there you can join that have local experts dedicated to every question you may have, and http://www.cancun.com will give you alot of info on hotels, tours etc, transportation ....well the island is the shape of a 7 , local buses are every few minutes so you won't need a car, and for tours or trips to Playa Del Carmen etc, From the Hotel Zone take the #1 bus and ask the driver to drop you off at the bus station. The bus station is across the street from the bus stop. At the station there's a special line for Playa del Carmen (clearly marked). Just go straight there and purchase one way tickets. The last ADO bus back to Cancun from Playa is at midnight. The fare is $3.40 USD one way. In Playa the bus station is right at the beginning of Avenida 5, the main drag.

Have you tried Cancunassist.com. Scott Wilson runs this site and it was very helpful to us before we moved to Cancun.
The answer about your son...if you don't mind he being served alcohol and partying with older folks...
There a public transportation is everywhere. Cabs and buses.
Crime rate is very low...as an American I love living in Cancun.
