I have looked through most of the posts and really would like to try Boca Chica on our next vacation.
My husband and I typically travel with 5 other friends (male and female) are ages range from 36 - 55. We have spent alot of time in Playa del Carmen because we are not AI type people but like white beaches and beautiful water. We like to get out and enjoy.
My questions/concerns are as follows:
1. Is there enough variety in BC for a diverse group of people? Some beach lovers/early nighters and some late night partiers?
2. Is it safe like Playa del Carmen where you can walk around anytime of day or night and not have a problem?
3. How far is Hotel Zapata from the restaurants/bars? Can we walk to these places?
4. Are there really as many "offers" from the women on the streets as I have read?
I appreciate eveyone's responses to these questions and any other input/thoughts you may have. I do want to say that I consider myself a fairly self-sufficient female who has done a great deal of traveling by herself, so I am not intimated by some of the scare stories that I have read. However, those in my group are less traveled and less equiped with handling problem situations so I want to be sure I am suggesting a place where they will have fun, be safe and not glued to my side 24/7.
