I'm looking for a safe resort to travel to in Mexico with our PA daughter. Probably would prefer a non all-inculusive type, but open to suggestions. Thanks for your help!

I have considered Mexico many times over the years with my PA son. I have yet to go as I am mostly interested in the Mayan but can't seem to find good information regarding their hospitals there. I know they have several clinics but I would feel better if I knew we were a stone's throw away from a proper hospital.
If I may offer my 2 cents, I would be sure to bring along allergy dining card information in Spanish if your child will be eating at the restaurants. I find it difficult enough here in Canada to explain the difference between containing nuts and cross-contamination, I can't imagine trying to explain it in a foreign language.
I would also be interested in finding out how people have fared in Mexico. I don't generally have my son eat at the resorts we go to but he can have a handful of prepackaged things. I do wonder however, do they tend to cook with alot of nut products. We have to be careful with the airborne issue.
No advice on places in Mexico. I would most likely personally stick to a higher end place that caters to foreigners/americans.
I'd also be sure to bring/buy lots of packaged foods/snacks so you have options.
I would start with travel sites, find a place you might be interested in and then call.
I agree-it's best to locate nearest hospitals just in case and be sure you have your epi pens with you.
Have fun!

We are thinking of doing the same. Did you go and what would your advice be.
