Anybody been to Reynosa in Tamaulipas Mexico?

Question

Has anybody ever been there? Did you feel safe? I heard about a cool hotel there and was thinking about going for a little weekend get away. But then I heard its a "red light district" whatever that means. Let me know what you thought about it.

thanks

Answer 1

I am an American woman living in Mexico and MOST of Mexico is safe.  However, border towns, includng Reynosa are NOT safe, especially for an American woman alone.  If you truly do not know what a "red light district' is...it is an area of town where the prostitutes hang out and find their clients.

Answer 2

I have gone to border towns my entire life and currently live in the interior of Mexico. Border towns are very dangerous right now because of the drug wars. I highly reccomend staying away. You are better off taking a bus to Monterey for a weekend, or someplace like that.
