Going to Cancun, Mexico a few queries on this?

My daughter went there 2 years ago on her honeymoon and the first few days were great but not shopping centres, a few pubs and restaurants, the only thing they liked was swimming with dolphins and then the hurricane hit and they were in a college for a week with very little food. She still keeps in touch with the Mexican staff and they say it will be a few years before it is all back to normal.
