Now, a month since the height of concern over the swine-flu outbreak, the country's resorts are on a mission to coax back skittish tourists. Twenty Mexican hotel chains - including Zoëtry Wellness and Spa Resorts, Secrets and Dreams Resorts and Spas, Azul Hotels, El Dorado Spa Resorts and Hotels and Real Resorts - have instituted a "flu-free guarantee" that promises guests an H1N1-free vacation. If you do contract the virus, you'll get your next three...
