Cancun Forum: Moon Hotel - guest safety?

 Moon Hotel - guest safety? 

Hi, I´ll be at the moon hotel in two weeks for my wedding. A local paper is reporting that the army is guarding the moon hotel. Can someone who is there please tell me if they feel safe?

Another local paper has published a transcript of four U-Tube videos of the interrogation of three hostages who were later found dead a few days ago in cancun. How safe is cancun? Should I cancel my weding plans and go elsewhere?

What do you think? I need more information to help make a decision fast.

The photo in the paper freaks me out.

Even as a find this post a bit suspicious from a first time poster...

The security is at the Moon Palace for a world conference on AH1N1 being held where the President of Mexico is expected to be in attendance.

The Por Esto article and Youtube references are allegedly from a citizens vigilante group that executed

3 members of a notorious drug cartel involved in citizen shake downs, drug trafficking & illegal immigration of Cubans.

If you're going to Cancun and staying in the tourist areas, you should have relatively few safety concerns, certainly, no more than any other major worldwide tourist destination.

The A-H1N1 conference is scheduled from July 1-July 3 but I'd think that more than a few people there for the conference would expand their stays through the weekend as many are foreigners.
