Safety in Cancun is not at a high level. Inexperienced tourists need to be especially careful here. Theft is the most common occurrence here. To avoid them, you should keep a close eye on your belongings, do not carry large sums of money, and leave valuables in the hotel safe or in the luggage room.
Robbery and violence in cabs are common in Cancun, so it is recommended to use only official companies, which should be called by phone and sit preferably in the back seat. In addition, crimes committed by people in police uniforms are common in Cancun. Be careful and ask for ID if you are stopped in the street or on the road.
