I just read the US/Mexico border is closed for all non essential travel. How does this impact you coming back with your fiancé?

Only the land border travel is resticted that way. You can still fly from Mexico to the US.

I just got off the phone with the state government administration in Quintana Roo to seek clarification. The lady politely informed me that the administration has not made an official determination/announcement  of the area (Cancun) opening up for tourism. She told me that after the end of the month an official announcement will come out of the governor's office regarding tourism in the state. Around June 2, or 3 there will be some official word on this. Till then, the government has not given the go-ahead with open tourism.

So what cities have open hotels then?!

You can book private places via AirBnB and stay with them.

Somewhere in this thread it was mentioned to contact the hotel directly. I would suggest Mexico City, at least that is where I would go. I read the Centro Historico is one of the safer areas there in the city.

 

Ela said Santa Fe is safe. I read some opinions of the area that it is a residential communities of high rises and apartments. It could be far from areas like stores and such things.

In the news, the land border travel ban from Mexico to the USA has been extended to June 22. However it does not effect air travel as the text below states:

 

At this time, this Notification does not apply to air, freight rail, or sea travel between the United States and Mexico, but does apply to passenger rail, passenger ferry travel, and pleasure boat travel between the United States and Mexico. These restrictions are temporary in nature and shall remain in effect until 11:59 p.m. EDT on June 22, 2020. This Notification may be amended or rescinded prior to that time, based on circumstances associated with the specific threat.

I saw yesterday some lodging options on Expedia last night. 

[Lskifghj 53]

I just booked for me and my parents!! Yes, Mexico City it is! Had to call many hotels directly. Excited!

I would say Polanco, Roma and Nápoles are some of the safest areas in the city. Even walking is super safe. I’m currently staying at colonia Nápoles. Santa Fe is also very safe but a little outside of the city. Ubers here are dirt cheap though. Even if people stayed in Santa Fe you could uber to a grocery store. Some really great ones in that area I’ve been to.

Wanna add that Condesa is also super safe and nice area with lots of hotels!

I found a hotel in Polanco. That is good to know that it is safe. How many more days in Mexico do you have to go?
