Question

Is Playa del Carmen safe for work? I want to work on a resort in the area, but have heard negative things?

Answer 1

My sister has been living there for a couple of years. She seems to be pretty happy there despite not having a glamorous lifestyle (believe me, the rent there is inhumanely expensive and it will suck over 3/4's of your small income unless you get yourself a roomate).

Doubt it's any more dangerous than the rest of the southern regions of the country which in general are very safe as long as you're respectful to the people.

Answer 2

i've been there three times and my boyfreind used to work at a resort there.  from what i saw it seemed pretty awesome. if i knew spanish better that would something i would do.  i love that area the best (compared to other places in mexico i have been) the nightlife is good also.
