    When you stay in Mexico try to avoid drink watter directry from the sink; Do it only if there is a signal indicating that you can do it.
    Here almost all the people drink water only if it is bottled or has been treated by some kind of filter.

    The only time I worry about the water is away from the resort. Never had a problem.

    Never had a problem with the water at TTR, but did have a problem on our 1st trip from not drinking enough water. Went from the Airport in Mexico to the airport in San Francisco to the emergency room near home. Dehydrated and Pneumonia but man what at trip it was..... Doctor said "well it looks like you had fun!)

    Last year I brain farted and made coffee in the room with sink water and the next day got sick for 10 days not able to eat anything without throwing it back up, then when was feeling better lost my voice. That was the only thing I did different from all the years I have been going there. It was the worst trip ever. I was miserable, don't chance it

    Really? that sucks, oh yeah I wasnt with ya the last trip. I have always made my coffee with the tap water... never bothered me, the buffet uses tap water for the coffee everyone gets in the morning. I think maybe some people have different bodily reactions to certain things, But I figure, the ice the mix drinks all use tap water, the food is washed or cooked in tap water etc.....

    I read on isla-mujeres.net that you should start eating yogurt daily before and during your trip because it will fight bacteria in your system and decrease your chances of getting Montezuma's revenge...I don't know if it works but its worth a shot if you are worried about getting it.

    There for 10 days late october and early November, have ibs and anything will set me off and no problems except when I mixed scotch and tequila. Was out of the resort some, went to Isla and cosumel and several other outings. Never a problem. Did make it a point to drink bottled water away from TTR.

    We drank bottled water everyday... I made coffee in the room for my wife and I everyday, but used the bottled water for that too... Aside from rinsing after brushing our teeth and ice cubes, we didn't consume any other "tap" water. Neither of us had any issue at all...

    Better safe than sorry...

    We've used the tap water every time we've been there w/ no probs. Hmmmmm? Maybe we didn't partake enough with the cocktails??? Nope, that's not it!!!:clappyinghappy:
