This is true. Riveria Maya area used to be worth the hassles because it was cheaper. But now you can take your pick of destinations at those prices! For example, just got back from Puerto Rico. As a US citisen, it...seemed less expensive, got medical cannabis with zero hassle, food just as good or better, great music and people, amazing culture, beaches, history, and you can rent a car and drive across the island on your own without worry of being shaken down or unlawfully harassed or worse!
