Any other thoughts?
I've stayed in Playa del Carmen several times and have never seen any problems (but that doesn't mean they're not there). I'd venture to say if you're going to one of the resorts, and stay in the resort, you'll have zero problems, aside from petty theft of your things while you're swimming (ask me how I know that).
