Mexico question for those that live or travel there frequently

[MaxDawg55]

In early stage of considering a move there. Going to take a vacation/scouting trip. Appreciate any guidance from those that know the country. Golf & water are things I’d like to have, at least nearby. Smaller communities or towns.
Thanks & Go Dawgs!

Only been there a few times for vacation, so experience is limited. But Puerto Morelos was a quiant town. An expat took me diving from there. Also went diving out of Puerto Aventura, which is much more developed and should have a good expat population.

That’s off Honduras. I’ve been there diving. It is far less developed than the ABCs. It is part of Honduras and doesn’t have the benefit of Dutch investment. Still a good place though.

I wouldn’t recommend it. The diving is OK, some good resort places. It’s been 8 years since I was there but our hotel was patrolled by soldiers with machine guns 24/7.

Wow. I just read there’s minor crime there.

https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...raveladvisories/honduras-travel-advisory.htmlMaybe it’s changed in the last 8 years. We stayed in a resort in West End that was pretty nice. It was two story buildings around a huge pool and right on the ocean. Paradise something or other. The soldiers patrolled the grounds all day and night, which is not a good sign. Countries like Honduras and Mexico try very hard to protect tourists. Here’s the latest State Department advisory. It’s Level 3 for the country, not specifically Roatan. 3 means don’t go.
