natives treating tourists
I read in our local paper there seems to be an uproar with the locals and tourists. Anyone have a problem in Cancun with the locals telling them to leave? According to the paper, it's become quite a problem. The paper also mentioned a head washed up on shore!

"The paper also mentioned a head washed up on shore!"
This was in Acapulco, not Cancun ... one drug dealer communicating with another drug dealer ... |
Know nothing of Cancun, however in 35 visits over 20 years I have never had a problem with any Mexican citizen following a few basic rules.
1. I am polite to everybody 2, I Never flash money! 3. I do not drink, but if you do, don't get wasted & wander in public! 4. I do not go where I do not belong. |
What exactly did you read? Who wrote it? And what was said? Are you sure you aren't confusing it with the post-election political protests?
As above, the head was in Acapulco not Cancun and had nothing to do with tourists. In my experience in the past decade I have only been warmly welcomed by the local people (Puerto Vallarta and La Paz). |
Was it the recent CNN article about Oaxaca and Mexico City?

Ditto Stewbear. The majority of locals appreciate the tourists because that is their livelihood. But that said, I think they are just naturally friendly and in most instances want to be helpful if you need help. Of course, as anywhere, there is always a disagreeable human being somewhere. I have found in the last 8 years the locals to be extremely polite, friendly and helpful.
