Now’s not the time to visit our neighbor to the south, right? Well, wrong. Mexico is still an amazing tourist destination that we have come to love. I’m currently in Cancun and wanted to take the time to let Apple Vacationers know what I’ve been experiencing firsthand. I’ve noticed thousands of happy travelers from around the world, most of whom are Americans. They are enjoying the sun, sand and warm Mexican hospitality. The vacations are meeting and exceeding expectations, exactly what you dream of when booking your vacation.
I am experiencing nothing like what the American press is reporting at all. When I’ve been talking to travelers, there seems to be the consensus that the negative press on Mexico is ridiculous! They’ve managed to lump all of Mexico – a country that’s the size of Western Europe – together! I personally don’t think that’s indicative of what’s happening in the entire country. Americans who travel to Mexico primarily go to six places, none of which have had travel alerts. These destinations are Cancun, Riviera Maya, Cozumel, Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit and Los Cabos. As a travel expert, I can tell you that it’s as easy-going as it’s always in these tourist destinations. And, it’s no surprise to me that Mexico remains one of the top tourist destinations in the world! It’s home to archaeological wonders, turquoise seas, a magnificent underwater world, and world-class hotels and vacation amenities.
Most travel to Mexico, ultimately, is simply good travel. It’s fun, affordable, eye-opening and fascinating. But, no, you don’t have to visit Mexico. Just know that the Mexico vacation experience on the ground almost never matches the sensationalized Mexico we see and read about.

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. The day you celebrate your love for each other should be a day of paradise. Why not exchange your vows in a place called paradise? Today more and more couples are replacing the stress and time consuming preparations of a state-side wedding for a breathtaking, picturesque tropical beachside wedding. Celebrate what promises to be the best days of your life at a world-class resort with a personal wedding consultant to take care of every detail, the most beautiful and exotic flower arrangements, and a trained photographer that truly captures the essence of your day. It leaves you asking, why wouldn’t you have a destination wedding?! It would be the ultimate wedding and honeymoon experience. In many cases, destination weddings cost significantly less than traditional weddings as well. I highly recommend any bride-to-be and groom to take the time to investigate these options with Apple Vacations.
