We chose to go to Chiapas because we
had heard it was beautiful, safe and that the food was delicious.
All of these things were true and we really enjoyed out time there.
But I don't think this would have been the case if my husband was not
a strong Spanish speaker. We rarely found locals who spoke English
(even in our hotels which included Holiday Inns) and we are under the
impression that most of the tourists visiting this part of Mexico are
Mexican. With this knowledge, I would recommend this area as a great
destination as long as you know there won't be a lot of help if
Spanish is not spoken. Also, credit cards are not accepted in most
restaurants and hotels nor are they accepted by the bus company we
used, OCC. But the people are friendly though not very chatty, the
towns we visited were interesting and did not seem exhausted with
tourism (even the town of Palenque just seemed like a regular town
with a few random English speakers wandering around). I can't wait to
go back and explore others parts of Chiapas.
