My Review 

DO NOT GO!!!! Just got back today and could not wait to get on line to write this. If I can just keep one person from going, I will have helped one soul. First let me say, I am well educated, professional and went down for a 40th birthday with about 30 friends and family.

The reason I say don't go is because the police are corrupt as they come. We were shaken down twice, one for while driving back from dinner. The second while we were 4-wheeling, and both times we had to pay the police off. Also, several of us were walking downtown and we got stopped just for walking down the street and mostly because we were Americans. If the police had not been called away on the radio, we would have had to pay them again. The times in three days....get the message...I will never go back and there are too many Mexican cities to go to that you don't have to worry about getting extorted for just walking down the streets...

Never again...but I will let you make up your own mind...But believe me what I am telling, you will get hit up for money at every corner...

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

No
