We understand that some recent social media posts have caused concern about travel to Mexico, especially for those seeing alarming claims or headlines about threats against Americans.
First, it’s important to know that much of what is circulating right now includes unattributed and unverified statements — meaning there’s no identifiable source, date, or official record confirming those claims. In journalism, that makes them not credible and potentially misleading.
At Happily Ever After Travel, we rely on verified information from trusted sources such as the U.S. State Department, the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), and our in-destination partners who live and work in these resort areas daily.
It’s also crucial to understand that the challenges in “Mexico” are highly localized — typically confined to border regions or areas tied to organized crime activity, not the resort destinations where our clients vacation.
Popular destinations like Cancun, Playa Mujeres, Riviera Maya, Puerto Vallarta, and Los Cabos remain well-patrolled, heavily dependent on tourism, and are not areas of known targeting against visitors. Visitors to these areas continue to enjoy spring break travel, destination weddings, and honeymoons, as well a much needed break from the everyday work routine at home.
These same types of safety advisories exist worldwide — even in The Bahamas, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and parts of the United States. Every destination has areas to avoid and best practices to follow.
What matters most is awareness, preparation, and reputable travel planning.
That’s why we:
🌺 Monitor travel advisories and local news daily.
🌺 Partner only with vetted resorts and trusted transfer companies.
🌺 Provide guests with safety tips, emergency contact info, and resources before travel.
🌺 Offer alternate destinations if conditions ever change.
Your safety and peace of mind will always come first. You can travel confidently knowing your Happily Ever After Travel advisor is watching, preparing, and planning every magical detail with care and discernment.
