Watch yourself down there. The State dept put out a warning against travelling to Mexico. There has been a few kidnappings lately related to the Mexican drug wars. But if you must go, stay the hell away from the water. That alone will kill you worse than anything down there.
Yeah go to Mexico, just stay in the hotel and you should be fine:

You should be just as afraid of the Federales as the bandits.
Edit: Maybe even staying in your hotel isn't even safe. Didn't work for this guy:

Damn it, Mexico is safer than any day in L.A. or Detroit. Don't be chickens, go to Mexico, and spend your dollars (even though they're worth less and less everyday).
EDIT: I'm leaving in 19 hours and 41 minutes from...from...NOW!!!... π΅
