Safety in Cancún

Cancún is generally considered safe for female travelers, however it is important to take the same precautions as you would in any other city. Be aware of your surroundings, avoid walking alone at night, and keep your valuables secure. It is also recommended to dress modestly and avoid wearing expensive jewelry. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local laws and customs, and to be respectful of the local culture.

I traveled to Cancun on my own last year and it was completely fine, stayed in a hostel in the hotel zone and was fine walking around on my own through the day and night and just booked tours that would pick me up from the hostel and everything was great

Solo travel experience

Went up and down the coast on the ADO bus. Everyone was very helpful, including the taxi drivers. I stayed in Puerto Morelos and Isla Mujeres with a couple of transition days in Cancun. No resorts, although the place in Cancun had a restaurant. I felt safe.

Solo travel experience

Last month I went to Cancun for a few days. I stayed at a resort and enjoyed the sunshine by myself. It was a super easy flight from Boston. Everyone spoke English so that wasn't a problem. I'd definitely recommend looking into a resort there. :)

Solo travel experience

Itinerary: Day 1: Fly into Cancun Day 2: Tour of Chichen Itza and Sacred Cenote Guided Tour Day 3: Visit the beaches of Playa del Carmen Day 4: Tulum, visit a beach club Day 5: Explore area around Parque Nacional, Mayan Ruins Day 6: Guided tours of Cenotes in area Day 6: Cancun, relax on the beach. Day 7: Ferry to Isla Mujeres Day 8: Fly back from Cancun Safety: Mexico is safer than USA where guns violence is happening everywhere and everyday. The crimes that media report are all narcos/drugs related. Budget: Tulum is really expensive. I am a budget traveler and hate it there. I only did a day trip. The beach is far. $18-$25 from downtown by cab. You can take collectivo bus vans but usually are full with locals that need it more for work. Recommendations: Totally recommend Isla Mujeres. Go to the north beach there/playa norte. You go left after exiting the ferry terminal and walk straight for 10 minutes. Beautiful beach.
