Hey Ali!!! I have guests with the same worries and concerns. I'll tell you what I have been telling them. I was walking around PV by myself and I was pregnant and I would do it again. I felt very safe there and everyone is so friendly. That is part of the reason we chose PV for our wedding, we felt much safer there than anywhere else we have visited in Mexico, not that I didn't feel safe other places, just more comfortable in PV. Hopefully this is helpful and I tell my guests all the craziness that you hear about down there is closer to the border or someone was doing something they shouldn't have been doing Happy planning!!!
