Cruise Passenger Safety in Manzanillo

Adequate medical care can be found in major cities. Standards of medical training, patient care, and business practices vary greatly among medical facilities in beach resorts throughout Mexico. Hospitals in Mexico do not accept U.S. domestic health insurance or Medicare/Medicaid and will expect payment via cash, credit, debit card, or bank transfer. Resort areas and tourist destinations in Mexico generally do not see the levels of violence and crime reported in the border region and in areas along major trafficking routes. Nevertheless, crime and violence are serious problems. As a matter of personal safety, it is advisable that you travel in groups, or go to places where there are large crowds of tourists when you are in Manzanillo.
