Is a nice area as are parts of Q. Roo.

Just about all of the violence is on border cities.

Not Exactly - while the Yucatan area is far safer than any other area much of the violence is near the border there are no safe havens down there now. Last time I checked Acapulco and Mexico City are not near the border and both are extremely dangerous.

There are just too many nice places to go play in the sun to take the risk.

Mexico City has always been dangerous in areas. Acapulco is a few isolated incidents. Let's not forget Mexico City is one of the largest cities in the world and your chances of going to where the violence is slim. As tourist, you'll be seeing like 2% of the city at best.

One could look at the violence in Los Angeles or NYC and say they are too dangerous to vacation in too.

My girlfriend and I stayed at wonderful resort in Somalia last summer and had a wonderful time. Never felt unsafe...

Just kidding on that one.

Not a safe place for Americans right now. The sun, sand & cold drinks are not worth your life or the life of your loved ones.
