US Citizens in Mexico – Spring Breakers

Every year thousands of our teenagers and young adults come to Cancun, Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya on Spring Break. Many of them end up in jail or fall victim to crimes. It is customary for hotels to employ an "animator" whose job it is to ensure the guests have fun. This usually involves the continuous flow of alcohol for days on end. Our teen-agers come to this very traditional culture completely unprepared and unaware of how their dress and conduct can make them targets of different types of abuses - ranging from relatively minor cases to extreme cases.

Additionally, others will suffer accidents or illness that require medical attention or hospitalization. Please be aware that hospitals require proof of payment before admission. They are under no obligation to provide services even in emergency situations. Please be sure your Spring Breaker has proof of medical insurance with coverage in Mexico or access to cash or credit cards with high enough cash availability to be used in case of emergency.

Folsom y Asociados feels a responsibility to be available 24/7 for the care of your teen-age Spring Breaker in case of emergency. Please contact us to make prior arrangements.
