Some people may not like hearing this, but I definitely don't have any
sympathy for any of the local Mexicans in resorts such as Cancun.
Often theft is common in the rooms and management takes a blind eye
unlike in Cuba or the Dominican Republic. If the employees are
extraordinary in some way service wise, I tip; however, that is not
usually the case. This "unsafe" feeling in Mexico is one reason why
no longer go to Mexico.
