"4. What about the story a few months back that heavily armed "mexican mafia" shut down another Tulum resort frequented by celebreties & movie stars? Can't remember the name of the resort."

Has there been any more acivity or developments related to this?

I am planning on visiting Tulum in March but of course I am worried now.

Also, I looked at their website and emailed a question (unanswered) but I cannot determine when the "downtown tulum" project plans to start. does anyone know?
