Traveling Solo - I've been traveling throughout the Riviera Maya and never once felt unsafe. A condo works well for me because I don't like eating alone in a restaurant. I'd rather do take-out or just make something simple in m own space. But, I do want security. Xaman ha condos have 24 hour security guards and it's located in the residential, gated community of Playacar Phase 1. Despite that, it's only a 4 minute walk to downtown and 5th Avenue.
I'm usually working and I need a dedicated, secure, WIFI during my stay. That's another reason I select a good condo. Hotels have so many dead spots and it's not always secure. The rebar and concrete construction of the buildings does not lend itself to good wifi.
