Last January while we were staying in Isla Mujeres, there was shooting in a night club in Canun that killed a tourist and cop. That event triggered a high-level travel advisory for Cancun, yet Isla was perfectly safe for us to wander about all hours of the night.

I do appreciate reading about these travel advisories. However, on our upcoming trip I will ask Linston to bypass "some areas of Montego Bay" and take us directly to Negril.
