My husband and I have travelled to mainland Mexico for approx. 10 years, never staying in resorts, but rather seeking out economic, clean, safe, non-touristy little accomodations. Now that we have retired, we are spending the winters RVing in Mexico along the coastlines. We love the people, the climate and the culture and are working hard at our Spanish.
