Okay so im heading there with my buddies in 9 days we are going aug 20th to the 26th... we all heard about the mexico water situation... ive been to acapulco before a couple years back and ended up getting a lil sick... just wondering if its safe to have ice cubes in mix drinks and mix drinks in general... am i running the risk of gettin sick?? im thinking bout just sticking to beer and shots! any info??
At the resort, no problems with the ice and water. The water from the taps in your room is pottable but too chlorinated for my liking, so we drink bottled water. I'd be on the cautious side outside the resort though.
I have never had any problems anywhere in Cancun, but that does not mean that I am going to quit being careful. I am not sure where to draw the line with the roadside food stands, and the smaller bars and cantinas on Isla Majeres.
I'm a little scared to answer this question it may jinks us. We have yet to have any stomach problems when going to mexico. We have bought tacos out of the back of a van, and ohhh man were they could,( Lalo said it was ok). When outside the resort we drink bottled waters and ice is in every drink we get at a bar. Most of these places filter their water like they do here in the states. That doesn't mean that you can't get sick, some people's body have trouble dealing with changes of diet. The clorine used could be different than that used in your home state. But otherwise it is safe.
yah i mean theres no chance im having ne ice or ne water outside the resort... im curious bout the ice in mixed drinks at the resort... i dont wanna ruin my trip so i had to see what u guys thought about that
The only stomach problems we had, we contributed to the amount of booze we drank. If i remember right the resort has its own filtration system, I think there used to be a sticker in the rooms that said something to that effect.
hav n fun I started coming here about 10 yrs ago, my very first time here, me and my ex got sick 2 days into it, killed the whole vacation, so when i got back went to the doctor and he gave me cipro, now everytime i go i have it with me, it really takes care of it, thx Mike
We have been to Mexico 5 times and were sick, twice for a day each. Each time it was due to drinking too much and 1) going nuts on foods I never ate before, 2) a fresh Nacho fest, and I mean fest, I couldn’t stop eating them in the bar. Wash your hands a lot (we use sanitizer) and drink the bottle water. All I drink is mixed drinks and never had a problem with ice. Cal
relief I was worried about the water also. My honeymoon we went to Cozumel, but did NOT drink anything there because we got off a cruise ship. But I will be very careful about what I ingest into my system in Cancun. Hi Mike...Thanks for all the information...Veteran...LOL. Have not went to Publix as of yet. :roll:
