Chances are you’ve heard of the Riviera Maya, an hour south of Cancun, with towns like Puerto Morelos, Playa del Carmen and Tulum. Chances are, you have a girlfriend who came here for a girls’ trip or was “flown out” by a mysterious stranger for a romantic getaway. Chances are, you’ve got a friend who maxed out his credit card to impress a baddie… only to learn the weekend wasn’t headed in the direction that they had hoped for.

Chances might be… You were that friend. No judgment.
