@@RickRackTravels We are an older couple who started an online business and have several side businesses we are cultivating. Bottom line, they are all online so location of residence is a moot point. We have seen many vids on Mexico and after much consideration and online recon, have settled on making Puerto Morelos our home. The cost of living, the beach, and even areas if we want to hump a ruck through the boonies is available. She is in TX and I am in Canada, and this will bring the biz, and us, together in the perfect place.
Thank you so much! That video was incredibly helpful. We are gathering information for our move to Puerto Morelos in October and your videos consistently answer my questions. Your content is on point but also a pleasure to watch.
Hola hola. Perfect video! I feel like you make it just for us lol or jajajaja. Ontario Canada, locked down again, we will be down to your area??????? One day. Take care, love the video's and to see friendly faces. Gracias
Hola LaurieAnn - yes Ontario is not great at the moment - my mom has been keeping us up to date. Love the jajaja ‘a and hopefully 🙏 travel can resume to Mexico later in the year . Thanks so much for watching and your sweet comment 🥰
Thanks Leslie. Next weeks video is all about purchasing a property here and we take you through a couple of condos on the Portside. Hope you will find that interesting
GREAT VLOG AS ALWAYS. THANKS GUYS FOR SHOWING US WHATS OUT THERE, PARTICULARLY THE 2 bed bungalow which is the kind we are thinking of buying. Keep them coming and only request would be, make longer ones cus they are over so quick. We enjoy them so much. Lol. Sue & John.
Thank you so much Sue and John ! Yes the El Faro bungalows are super cute. We appreciate the encouragement on our vlogs- that was our longest one yet lol 😂
@@RickRackTravels yes and it was much appreciated. Lol. Keep up the great work. We are living vicariously through vlogs like your right now. You do such a great job.
Great video my friends. Thank you so much for giving us a shout out. We actually almost rented the house in El Faro that you showed but the availability did not match our schedule. Gladys is wonderful person and if you are looking for housing we highly recommend her too.
I've been enjoying your videos. Great job. I will be coming to Puerto Morelos this summer. I already have my place booked and I think it's with the same Gladys.
Thank you for all that information, we really thinking about spending winters down there, last winter we visited cancun Valladolid tulum playa del Carmen and cozumel we love it and thinking on moving winters
Thanks so much for your comment. It sounds like you really enjoy exploring the area (like us). I think PM is a great home base because you are in between PDC & Cancun but can also travel up the Ruta de Los Cenotes into the Yucatan. It definitely is a beautiful place to spend the winters
We had Dawn & Greg over to our home for dinner and took them on a little tour of PM when they first arrived in town. Yes, they are lovely people.That’s exciting you’re planning your move to PM- yeah 🙌😃🥰
Thank you very much for this video. I am planning a trip to Mexico in December and we will be renting a property in Palma Grand for 10 days. It is so useful to see what the area actually looks like.
Wow!!! I wish I had seen this a week ago I would have rented that last house....darn....I just booked and paid for a unit in Playa del Carmen we gave up on PM because no one got back to us I sent emails after email....darn....oh well we will for sure spend some time on day trips to PM....Viv
Oh wow - that’s too bad ! I loved that house in Palma Grand too. It is beautiful 🤩 But congrats on your upcoming stay in PDC - it really is only a hop skip and a jump here to Puerto. Thanks for watching and your comment Viv - we appreciate it 🥰
@@RickRackTravels We absolutely intend to come to PM many many times on our stay in Mexico next year!!!...Looking forward to trying the many great restaurants there!!...Viv
We were going to congratulate you on 500 subscribers, but even better we get to congratulate you on 600 subscribers! Good on you both (and Guinness)! It's always interesting to see what you can get at different price levels, also good to know the difference in price with or without utilities included. Thanks for the tours. One question - are monkeys a common sight in Puerto Morelos?
Thank you so much you guys 🥰 I think we have seen monkeys on about 7 different occasions here in PM over a period of 1 1/2 years. Always an exciting experience!!! Do you see or have them on the West coast of Mexico ? 🐵 🐒🇲🇽
@@RickRackTravels Hiya. We've never seen any monkeys on the west coast of Mexico (that we can remember)! We have seen and heard Howler monkeys in Teapa, Tabasco and also on Ometepe Island in Nicaragua. It definitely reinforces that you're somewhere tropical!
Love your videos! Would love to see some more like this...very informative. We are thinking about Alborada or Escondido for around November till April....would love if you have any suggestions. Looking forward to your next video😊
Thank you for your lovely comment - yes hopefully we will make some more videos like this in the future - it was fun. I have not rented in Alborada or Escondido. If you are not going to have a car Alborada is way more walkable. Escondido is so new and modern (beautiful) but a little bit further out. I hope that helps a wee bit and thanks so much for watching 😊
Hello from BC Canada. I have been following for a bit and appreciate your videos. Planning on visiting Puerto Morelos end of October for maybe a month or maybe 5 . Looking for advice regarding rentals. I’m looking for 2 bedroom beach side. I was thinking to get a hotel for few days and check out rentals in person so hoping you might advice. Should I bring HP sauce?
Hello Doris from Canada !! Lovely to hear from you and thanks for watching. Jess is very recommended in town and here is a link to her fb page facebook.com/PuertoMorelosRentals/ Awww don’t weight your luggage down for us. Ricky likes to whine lol 😂 but very kind of you to offer
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly so villa dos is right by the first two places in this video the second place is great I’m wondering if there Is a one bedroom place like I can have for January maybe your amiga Gladys has something like that…?
Hi Gary, yes Villa's Uno is next to Downtown, next you have Villa's La Playa's and then Villas Dos followed by the Gated Communities. We will ask Glady's for availability.
Thanks again I just put in a question to see if villa dos is still available waiting to hear back from the renter her name is Yvonne maybe you know her..? I need to find out if utilities are included……?
Hi Gary, sorry no I don't know Yvonne but yes ask all the questions about utilities to see if they are included in the price before booking. If it's on Airbnb it should let you know in the description, but double check.
Love your videos I am a new subscriber. I am looking to move back to Mexico in the fall.. I have lived in Playa del carmen as well as Isla Mujeres. Just curious how you like puerto morales??
Thanks for subscribing and congratulations on your upcoming move back to Mexico! We absolutely LOVE our life in PM. We are not ‘big city’ folks so enjoy the slower pace of life here
Heyyyyy! We've been watching your vids since our first trip to PM in 2020. We have friends coming with us next trip (Feb. 1-28, 2023). We now refuse to use AirBnB with their ridiculous prices now. Do you have any updated info or new recommendations for people to assist us in find a condo(s)? Keep on shining! TIA
@@RickRackTravels Hi, we were looking to rent after watching this video and checking out the referral links. We have found a place for the month of February, back in Alborada, which we were hoping for. (Maybe) See you 'round La Colonia :) Thanks for the reply.
Hi Jeff, thanks so much. It’s up to each owner’s discretion on allowing dogs but generally I think there are a lot of rental options for folks with dogs. Mexico is such a dog culture - I don’t think you will have an issue finding a dog friendly rental
Hi Chris, Glady's was our first Property Manager when we rented a Airbnb for the first time in PM, we have remained friends ever since. Laura is also a property Manager and our friend she lives close to us. There are many Property Managers in PM' many people own properties here but rely on local folk who live in PM to manage and rent them out.
Hi Heather. Many rentals have Queen or King beds already in them. If you found a rental you liked with only a double, you would need to reach out to the property manager or owner to negotiate. They may be more keen to negotiate if it was for a long term lease. Sorry I can’t be of more help on this query
Planning on retiring in Mexico next year and we’re not sure if the gulf or Caribbean will be the best fit for us. We have 2 small dogs and won’t have a car.
@@heatherparris4744 I think that is very wise to come down during the hot season to experience the heat. Yes, some days there is a lot of saragasso and other days it is clear and beautiful. Puerto Morelos does a great job of trying to keep the beach clear and lovely
Hi Samuel, unfortunately we are not yachties we wish we were though lol. We believe you can bring your boat so long as you have the proper paperwork and perhaps a temporary import license something similar to if you were bringing a car from the States for up to six months. There is a dock in town for mooring but not sure of the costs. If you are looking to bring your boat full time and thinking of relocating I believe it's a little more complicated but not impossible.
How cool is that!! Just be aware that spearfishing is prohibited within the National Park so basically beach side of the reef. I, Ricky have a speargun but have only been out once at Punta Brava without success. If you come down please give me a shout I would love to learn more but obviously it is dangerous to go out by yourself.
@@RickRackTravels for sure I'm 49 single and rich so looking to hide out and just get away from all the glitz and glamour and just be me relaxed, fun,quiet and focused on resting my brain.
I asked my friend Gladys (from this video) She said Yes you can flush it. But it is not recommended. Not all the toilet paper is the same quality as USA or Canada ( I think it’s thinner? ) But even at that it sometimes can get clogged up. You do get used to putting it in the trash bin. Honestly !! 😂
@@RickRackTravels o thanks so much, I just heard some places do and some don’t. I wanted to know since I think I’ll be retiring there somewhere in el faro in 18 months. I buy the highest quality toilet paper money can buy that good to flush if I have to. 😂
@DeepScubaDiver Congrats on your upcoming retirement 🥳 And I must tell you Mexico has some of the most fantastic smelling toilet paper. Green Tea scent is a favourite 😆
@@RickRackTravels thank you, just glad to be able to retire early at 56 when I can still do things like scuba diving and onewheeling which I hope to be doing a lot of. 🤙
Hi, there are a number of developments out the Ruta de los Cenotes between PM nad Leona Vicario. Please check out our video entitled "Could you live in the Jungle" for more information. Apart from that you would need to look at a private sale of land in the Jungle. As with any purchase of property in Mexico ensure you deal with recommended sources only and seek legal advice prior to purchase.
Sorry I Ricky, just realized you were not commenting on our last video my mistake!! Please check out our video on "the dos and don'ts of buying a house in Mexico", it's with a well respected Realtor here in PM. Sorry again!
@@RickRackTravels Thank you. Only just found your channel. It's lovely to have a couple who actually have knowledge as not just passing through, as you have put down roots. Hoping to move over from Suffolk UK in Six years, with two dogs. Have watched your doggie beach day. Will watch the video you mentioned. Also watching your video on your home renovation. So exciting and sad as I want to start living.
Oh That's exciting it's a big move from the UK but there are a few people in town here from various parts of the UK. Unfortunately that particular beach club is now shut down and dogs are not allowed on the main beach as it is part of the National Park. There is a beach called Punta Bravo South of town were you can let your dogs roam freely. Good luck with everything perhaps we will run into you one day!!
Update 7-13-2023 Puerto Morelos is no longer a secret. Prices have doubled for everything, Rent, Food, Beer, Their clear cutting the Jungle and building Condo Developments. There's no Inferstructure being built to keep up. Everything Flood's during heavy Rain 🌧️. This coming Winter it will be another shit show. We had a medical emergency at our community Pool, 47 Minutes for Paramedics to arrive after calling 911. The Paramedic's weren't Bilingual. I realize were in Mexico but its Marketed to American's and Canadians. Ive been here Two years, my advise is to choose wisely and dont base everything on the Vacation Feel, rent here for 6 my months first. Our community pool is 90 degrees today and will stay this way until October. 😮
Not 100% relevant to the video -- nicely done, by the way -- but you seem to be no-nonsense folk so a couple of questions I'd like to run by you, if I may. I was intensely interested in PM at one point but then scratched it off my list. One reason is because the Yucatan humidity is supposedly utterly overbearing. I know Florida humidity, but PM sounds even worse. How do you find the humidity? The second reason, and it's the only beach community I've explored where this is the case, is that you have this wonderful beachside/centro area and then a significant expanse of foliage before you get to Colonia. So I worry that I would feel "removed" enough that it wouldn't seem I'm even living in a beach community. Thoughts? Many thanks!
Hello and thank you for your comment. I don’t know about no-nonsense folk but I will try to give you our thoughts on those 2 questions. Yes- very hot and humid in the summer!! We were worried about that too and thought we may end up in a mountainous, cooler region of Mexico. But we deliberately rented down here in the summer to see how it felt. I do think 1) we have become more acclimated to the temps here 2) we live differently- get shopping & errands done early in the day or later in day. So yes it is humid but we love it here. Secondly, we live in La Colonia but feel blessed to feel apart of both sides of PM. They both have so much to offer and are literally 5 mins away. Thanks again for watching 😀 and hope that helps a bit
What is the dog situation like compared to other cities. I cant stan to see street dogs. Yes i need to bury my head in sand. I have been involved in rehoming some dogs and i dont want that to become my life. Im afraid i will move there and open a dog rescue 😢

Hoping to move over from Suffolk UK in Six years, with two dogs. Have watched your doggie beach day. Will watch the video you mentioned. Also watching your video on your home renovation. So exciting and sad as I want to start living.
Oh That's exciting it's a big move from the UK but there are a few people in town here from various parts of the UK. Unfortunately that particular beach club is now shut down and dogs are not allowed on the main beach as it is part of the National Park. There is a beach called Punta Bravo South of town were you can let your dogs roam freely. Good luck with everything perhaps we will run into you one day!!
@@RickRackTravels Cheers 🥂 to that. Untill then thank you for the information. I have a lot of video to watch and rewatch with my husband 😉.
What happened to you guys? Did you stop making videos ?
Hi, could you please provide me the contact information on Gladys the property manager from El Faro.. thank you. 😊

Update 7-13-2023
Puerto Morelos is no longer a secret. Prices have doubled for everything, Rent, Food, Beer, Their clear cutting the Jungle and building Condo Developments. There's no Inferstructure being built to keep up. Everything Flood's during heavy Rain 🌧️. This coming Winter it will be another shit show. We had a medical emergency at our community Pool, 47 Minutes for Paramedics to arrive after calling 911. The Paramedic's weren't Bilingual. I realize were in Mexico but its Marketed to American's and Canadians. Ive been here Two years, my advise is to choose wisely and dont base everything on the Vacation Feel, rent here for 6 my months first. Our community pool is 90 degrees today and will stay this way until October. 😮
Can I have Glady's contact please?
Do you know if there’s anyone who plays pickle ball in Puerto Morelos?
Hi Heather yes! I believe almost every week day there are either beginners or regular pickle ball
Hey guys! Do you have her phone # because I'm here and I need to find an apartment for 6 months, please let me know fast if you can?
Hi Denis - yes you can contact Gladys on WhatsApp at +52 998 241 7080
@@RickRackTravels mil gracias senior or seniora
I find it...rather amusing how.. rather austere ...the...residences are...and that is very normal by most Mexican standards
Yes it’s really lovely to walk around and enjoy admiring the beautiful Mexican homes
Not 100% relevant to the video -- nicely done, by the way -- but you seem to be no-nonsense folk so a couple of questions I'd like to run by you, if I may. I was intensely interested in PM at one point but then scratched it off my list. One reason is because the Yucatan humidity is supposedly utterly overbearing. I know Florida humidity, but PM sounds even worse. How do you find the humidity? The second reason, and it's the only beach community I've explored where this is the case, is that you have this wonderful beachside/centro area and then a significant expanse of foliage before you get to Colonia. So I worry that I would feel "removed" enough that it wouldn't seem I'm even living in a beach community. Thoughts? Many thanks!
Hello and thank you for your comment. I don’t know about no-nonsense folk but I will try to give you our thoughts on those 2 questions.
Yes- very hot and humid in the summer!! We were worried about that too and thought we may end up in a mountainous, cooler region of Mexico. But we deliberately rented down here in the summer to see how it felt. I do think 1) we have become more acclimated to the temps here 2) we live differently- get shopping & errands done early in the day or later in day. So yes it is humid but we love it here.
Secondly, we live in La Colonia but feel blessed to feel apart of both sides of PM. They both have so much to offer and are literally 5 mins away.
Thanks again for watching 😀 and hope that helps a bit
@@RickRackTravels Gracias!
What is the dog situation like compared to other cities. I cant stan to see street dogs. Yes i need to bury my head in sand. I have been involved in rehoming some dogs and i dont want that to become my life. Im afraid i will move there and open a dog rescue 😢
