FYI
After fraud disasters with credit cards in Cozumel, we switched to all cash vacations in Cozumel. Everything is strictly cash. So far we've made about a dozen trips to Cozumel.
We ran a little short of cash, and I didn't trust the ATM machines, so I went into a bank to get cash. It was one-and-only time that I used my credit card on that vacation. When we returned home, there were dozens of fraudulent charges on that credit card. All of the charges were with Mexican businesses.
You can't trust the Mexican police. And you can't trust the Mexican banks, either.
