A whole lot of out & about on those trips (as well as the condo rentals) !!

I'll keep a close eye on news about this as well as your posts !!
Puerto Aventuras would be close to last on their list! I wouldn't worry about that area at all because it's mainly hotels/condo rentals. I've stayed in that area before. The top locations would be Tulum, Cancun centro, and other cities like San Miguel, not the hotel zones. But right now they are focusing on cities and neighborhoods where the local people live, where you purchase houses.

I've gone to some of their social media sites and they are even talking about boycotting and protesting the FIFA match next year in Mexico City. They are not happy with all the remodeling of the airport and other areas for "visitors" and not caring about the citizens who live in the city and all the houses and apartments that will be rented out. Currently, Mexico City is a hot kettle on the stove ready to boil over. But you'll be ok. Enjoy your trip!

As a side note: As I had mentioned I move out of an apartment in CDMX and decided to rent a full-service hotel, that in no way can be construed as an apartment or somewhere the locals would want to rent. I just don't need any issues.
