As a newbie to AC and the area, but a veteran "low key" traveler - we gotta know. Is it safe to travel to paradise - we have heard some bad stories, but as a veteran of Isla Mujeres, which sounds so much like AC we take the stories in stride. Also will there be anyone there in September?

Been trying to get there since last fall, but wound up in hospital - quintuple bypass - too much laid back beach time! So now the decision is to either go back to Isla Mujeres or find a new piece of paradise...also please please tell us no McDonalds!!

Thanks
