However, we do mean the reputation for Playa as well. We know builders in the area and they have persanally told us that this is hurting their business and the area as well.

No kidding.......while I do not yet own property in Playa this type of activity has me wondering if I ever will .......and between Wilma and the Bacelo incident many Canadians who are not familiar with Playa are getting the impression that the Riviera Maya is a dangerous place and are seeking alternative destinations. Better hope CNN doesn't pick this up....they picked up the prison break in Cancun recently but this kind of report (with machine guns involved) could lead to people (especially families) saying to their travel agents "Anywhere but there"......we went through that with the SARS experience a few years ago and it caused a lot of suffering in tourist related businesses.
