After one woman came forward about a dangerous situation at a Tulum Airbnb, comments revealed other renters had the same or even worse experiences—so how can you protect yourself?

Tulum, Mexico might have been one of the most popular vacation spots to escape to in the past two years. With pandemic protocols not as strict as in the States, parties were never-ending in this tropical locale—but not everyone had great experiences there. After a post about a vacation gone wrong went viral in recent weeks, multiple Black women have come forward about their disturbing experiences at an Airbnb in Tulum. Several alleged they were robbed, while some suspect the property’s hosts may even be involved in sex trafficking.
