I was just there and made the same choice (for the same reasons), and the antigen test got us home perfectly fine. But I did definitely confirm twice with the concierge just to be sure.    Pro-tip for your return: We did not expect that the airport security in Mexico required their own COVID-19 attestation form before they'd let anyone in the security line. They pointed to tables off to the side with QR codes that would allow you to create a log in and fill out the form on your smart phone, but the airport WiFi was poor, and our logins returned with errors. Save yourself the trouble of being stopped at security and ask a Southwest Employee at the ticket counter for a security form so you can roll on through 🙂 ... View more

I'm thrilled to say that we are traveling to Mexico as well in March!  We are fortunate to say, that we have NOT tested positive for the coronavirus nor have we had symptoms.  I contacted our resort in Riviera Maya and they told us that the resort will be offering testing for their guests at the resort.  We can schedule our tests on check-in to make sure they we get them 3 days prior to departure.  The labs at the resort are offering 2 kinds of tests: a PCR for $110 per person and a Rapid for $25 per person.  The CDC says that reentering the US will require: "A viral test means a viral detection test for current infection (i.e., a nucleic acid amplification test or a viral antigen test)."  So can we get the $25 test?  Will that be acceptable?  Please advise and thank you. ...
