Just finished my fifth week here. Going to be here for at least 5 more months
Nice! Would love to have you on the show if you’d like to do a live Q&A with me? Send me an email 😊 info@mexicorelocationguide.com
I forsee a boom of people moving to Mexico very soon. The remote working ability, the crazy soaring house/living expenses in north america is not sustainable. Amazing weather, amazing food, friendly people and the beach. How can you say no? I already know I'm gonna retire and spend a bulk of my time in Mexico
We bought last year on Cozumel and could not be happier . We liked Puerto Morelos too.
It’s already well underway, my friend…
It's already happening. Cancun, Merida, and PDC are packed with immigrants. I'm next, for all the reasons you mentioned. 🙌🏽❤️
I'm extremely lucky to have found good housing years ago for a good price, and my management company works with me to keep my rent affordable, but I know they won't do that forever. I'm trying to figure out a way to meet the income requirements to get a temporary residency. I've wanted to move there forever, but had an affordable and comfortable lifestyle here. That is quickly falling apart, and I see Mexico as my only alternative. It's sad we seniors have to leave our own country to find an affordable place to live.
It’s already happening everyday my friend
Please keep in mind that YOUR cost of living will depend on- your housing choices, your eating out, where you buy your groceries, whether you drive or use public transport, your medical history and how often you need to visit a doctor or other, your lifestyle and whether you splurge or save every month. One can very easily live in Puerto Morelos on $28,000 pesos a month in 2023 without having to sacrifice quality of life. However, you can also easily spend a lot of money if you don't stick to your budget.
This includes renting on Airbnb vs a regular place with a lease. Airbnb's are expensive.
Learning Spanish and looking for rentals where locals look is key to finding good rentals that aren't very expensive. And that's anywhere in Mexico.
This is true; one has to look carefully, make some contacts with rental agents, make friends, etc, and then take your time to find affordable housing. For example, the first few times I stayed, I got better and better deals from just getting to know people. I was surprised though at how expensive the AirBnB's were on both the port and Colonia sides...but the port side in high season is a lot. I also found that this year the Wed market prices seemed much higher. I sometimes wonder if I am being charged "gringo" prices. You are correct about food choices; in my case, I need gluten free so that will increase costs. And if one prefers the certified organic products, there again the prices jump lot; it is the same where I am in from in Canada. Probably the best deals are the rent costs. They don't seem to be a big bargain but better than what I have seen back home. Health care in Canada of course is mostly a non issue but if one wants supplements, herbs, etc, there again they add to the costs. It would be a good idea for someone like me who spends a lot on food, and health to do a detailed comparison but I have not done so as of yet. So far, after travelling to many destinations in Mexico, I find that I feel healthiest in PM - I like being at sea level, the lack of pollution, fresh air etc. It seems that the Mayan Riviera overall is not a cheap destination. Thanks for the videos Marianna.
When I lived in Playa del Carmen, I rented a two bedroom upper floor apartment with its own terrace 4,000 pesos a month. This is around 200 USD, so if you look for deals you can easily live there for less than 1,500 USD a month.
@@antonioendres4836 thank you for sharing 😃
@@antonioendres4836 Great info
Puerto Morelos is beautiful, and a fantastic alternative to Cancun. I spent some time in Morelos back 20 or so years ago when it was more of a sleepy village. The people were amazing, food was incredible, and the scuba diving and snorkeling was fantastic (especially at the ojo del mar). Great video!
Nice! Thanks for sharing 😊
We live in PM and have for a year. We have been looking at your videos to see where we are moving to next. It’s very hot and humid here. Plus there is so much saragossa year round now. Unfortunately the prices of rent, food and transportation keeps going up, Just in the year we have been here. A lot of people don’t own cars here just ride their bikes, walk or take the Coltevio. It’s very easy to make friend with other expats and locals.
It`s a beautiful puebla, we have been living here for the past 2 years. Our first taste of Mexico after moving from Mexico. English is spoken mostly on the Playa side, but you can navigate with just little Spanish on the puebla side.
Great video, and thanks for promoting this lovely town. Our 2 year plan is over and will be relocating to Chelem Yucatan for our new adventure ❤❤
hasta luego mi amigos
What is the average summer weather temperature?
Could you recommend a short term rental for 2-4 people? Airbnb does not reflect the prices that this video states can be had.
There's a gated community called Selva Escondido about a 10 minute drive to the port side
Puertos Morelos is my home away from home and I love the vibe here. Prices vary widely so something for everyone. Great overview of the town ❤
Thank you for always including transportation options! Great overview as usual! 🌵
Glad you enjoyed it! I tried to pack as much as I could in a a video 😅
Mariana what a very informative video. Amazing job! We just loved experiencing Puerto Morelos a few years ago. This video brought back many nice memories. I very much look forward to seeing your other videos. Thank you.
Thanks for covering Puerto Morelos.It's been on my radar for a while now. Lots of good of info in your video ... thanks so much!
Yay! Glad you enjoyed this overview
It’s hard to pack a lot in very little time 😅
Please don't giveaway this secret place.. lol. We love Puerto Morelos and want to live here!
Great video and very good info.
Thank you for all the details of everything! Fantastic info❤
wow. looks so appealing! the year-round climate looks very doable, too!
Puerto Morelos is one of our top picks 👍🏼
Great food, friendly locals and feels very safe in town. If you don't like humidity - not for you. The ocean in front of our rental was covered with seaweed, rocks, and wicked little waves.
always keep me thinking great video
We stayed at a resort (El Cid) this past Christmas and had a great time the 2 occasions we ventured into town. Loved the small fishing village vibe and had some great food and adult beverages 🍻🏝
Puerto Morelos looks absolutely PERFECT for me. EXACTLY what I’m looking for. Thank you for this! 😃
Glad it was helpful! If you’d like a private relocation tour we have an amazing recommendation. check out our page mexicorelocationguide.com/tours/
Love all your video's content and tips. Eres lo Maximo Mijita bendiciones.
Muchas gracias. Que tenga una linda tarde
Steve from New York is local legend in Puerto. He’s been going there 40 years. I asked him about crime? He said what crime. Stays Oct to April
Very nice video and place!
I am so excited! Thank you for this video! My father and I literally closed a deal on a beach condo in puerto Morelos the day your video came out. He has never been there before… I love it- he had to trust me on this 😂 anyhow I shared this video to him. You did such a great job on explaining so many things about puerto Morelos!
When you have time maybe do a deep dive into the specifics about the area even more so.
Great job overall regarding puerto Morelos and best you tube video that I have seen to date! Excelente!!
Congrats on the condo
Great video. Really thorough! :0)
Love PM. Lived in PDC for a year & it was the go to place for some peace & quite. 😁Now living Huatulco. Similar vibe.
Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing 😊
Puerto Morelos is a pretty area, thank you for sharing it with us.
Thanks for watching Cindy
Very nice,thank you !
Beautiful, and so close to Cozumel, and Playa del Carmen.
Thankyou you so much for your videos. I spent 2 weeks in Puerto Morelos this winter. It’s only 2 weeks but I would say it’s the safest place I have ever visited anywhere.
The public beach there is the nicest I’ve ever seen. Next winter will look at a month there.
Thanks for watching 😊 I’m jealous - every time I visit I want to stay for a month
@@MexicoRelocationGuide I have never done a month before. Longest 2 weeks
The more I get into local Mexico life the more I want to stay longer.
Sounds wonderful ❤
Sounds amazing I'd love to check it out as a retired person
Thank you, what an excellent video. My wife and I fell in love with PV but as I research moving there I get concerned about prices. Your video was extremely informative and has given me much to think about. Cheers!
Thank you for a great comprehensive overview, looks wonderful. I'm coming over from the UK in Sept this year for a few months and getting spoilt for choice on all the lovely places to live.
There’s so much to pick from in Mexico!
Very well done. Muchas gracias por la información.😊
Es un placer 😊
I love that town. Hope to return in November.
We loved Puerto Morelos when we visited the Yucatán peninsula! I think it would be a great place to live, and your video confirmed that 😊
We know a few people who live in PM and LOVE it 😊
If you’re interested in a relocation tour of PM feel free to check out our tours page mexicorelocationguide.com/tours
Lovely looking beach town, glad less crowded then other known places.
Exactly. And not far from all the other known places
Puerto Morelos looks like a great place to live. I plan to come visit and see for myself!
Puerto Morelos is very special indeed. Check out more beach areas you might like on this page mexicorelocationguide.com/live-on-these-beaches-in-yucatan/
Due for a vacation, and was thinking about Mazatlan, but you've put this on my radar. Always enjoy your vids.
Thanks Bob. You thinking of moving to Mexico or only visiting?
@@MexicoRelocationGuide Both actually. Have been to Zihuatanejo and Ixtapa. Relocating has been on my mind.
Awesome - good to know
I love PM. Stayed there for two weeks a couple of years ago. Going for 3 weeks in June. Safe, friendly, walkable, and the restaurant that you showed with the whole fish. El Pesquero…I could eat there every day. I’d love to have a part time home there!
Puerto Morelos is wonderful! We agree
Gracias mar it Anna muy buena explicación
Es un placer
Great video.
Thanks Philip- saludos
Hola! Buenas tardes! My wife and I have been visiting here for several years. The ppl receive s us and the land receives us. The ppl here are amazing, some of the most generous ppl you will ever come across. We have learned more about our Indian heritage here. We have found that we have so many things in common with the ppl here! We bought a home in P.M. 1yr 1/2 ago, the best move ever. We feel respected and safe. Unlike....ahem...well you know lol! Its important to learn the language if you really respect the culture and the ppl and the Natives have np helping you with that. This is like the best vidoe about Puerto Morelos I've seen. You shared history without "whitewashing" and was honest. Muchísimas gracias por todo!!!! We are living our best life in Paradise. Its a blessing ❤ Bendiciones para ti Mariana😊 🙏🏽🌻
Muchas gracias. My amazing videographer helped me with the script
You both did an amazing job ❤ Blessings to your videographer as well😊
I appreciate attention to information re: Clear Air~ a critical concern, for everyone with asthma.
Great video, thank you so much. Going to visit in March 2024, to see if we want to move there
Best of luck!
Great video I like the part that’s it’s layer back. Thank you
The locals don't call it "Puerto pueblo", it's call "la colonia". And the "Puerto Playa" is called just "Puerto".
Also, most people have bicycles vs scooters.
The rest was very spot on
This place looks amazing
Puerto Morelos is amazing!
This seems to be nice place..must visit..l visit San Carlos often but it's too boring yet beaches and restaurants are great. Looking for quiet but easy access to fun when I want...thanks for sharing!
Sounds like Puerto Morelos might be right up your alley
Gracias Mariana por otro video con mucho informacion, la coasta de Oaxaca tienen pueblos como esta marvelouso pueblo Puerto Morelos para retiros?
Liked the video and presentation...
Thanks for watching

Thanks for this, is there any beach volleyball? I know Cancun has some....thanks 😊
HI
IT.LOOKS 👍 GOOD
HAVE A GREAT DAY
FROM PHILADELPHIA PA USA 🇺🇸
Right back at ya! Buenas tardes 😃
We lived in Playa del Carmen from 2011-15 & friends moved to PM. We go there annually & love the quiet on the north beach about a mile from town.
The only thing that was not mentioned that gives pause to many is the sargassum (seaweed) that is seasonal, but very stinky & annoying for water folks. If you don't want this, visit Cozumel or Isla Mujeres during the season.
You’re right that the sargassum can be smelly. Although it varies by day, beach area and hotel cleaning it up if there is one nearby
We love Puerto Morelos. We were married there 10 years ago this month. Question for you - what are the names of the cenotes you showed in this video?
I love it there and would retire there for sure
I love the information you gave. I’m looking for a place to move now in Mexico for at least three years. I’m in Key Largo Florida right now. It’s way too expensive to live here and it’s really not all that.
I get it. Puerto Morelos is a small fisherman town but it has the gorgeous blue waters of the ocean. We have relocation tours there if you’re interested
Mexicorelocationguide.com/tours/
I also lived in the Upper Keys and moved to Caye Caulker, Belize 6 years ago. I've been looking at relocating to Mexico and thought the Progreso Beach area until I watched this video.
0H i I0ve Puerto Morenos!
Im taking an early retirement to GTO . Porto Morelos looks nice but that heat & humidity is not for me. However, i am taking my Vespa (scooter) to GTO and ditching my car!
Viva Mexico
🇲🇽
Viva
I have a Condo booked this winter in Puerto Morelos.
Nice! Is it on the pueblo side or the beach side?
@@MexicoRelocationGuide Puerto side
@@morrischaban1366 Nice
I have been looking at that general area (PM) as well as Akumal, recommended by IL mag and then stumbled on Puerto Aventuras. Are they all comparable in cost of living?
They’re comparable in cost of living but their sizes are different
One can easily find a furnished all inclusive Apt for less than $8000 peso a mth. Wi-fi included , Flat screen tv etc
thanks for the feedback- Yeap I agree you can find rentals in all budgets.
If I was gonna go back to Mexico , I would choose a city in the hills with better climate that’s close to the beach or just visit the beach area when weather is nice as flights are cheap within Mexico . The beaches are so hot and humid as the weather has been changing. I have been going to Playa Del Carmen for last 6 winters but last year was unbearable. The scams get worse and worst as well. Prices getting close to American prices . Do your research before you move .I love the Mexican people. Very warm and friendly. Alot of people moving to . Very useful info in your video!
personally, I don't like the humid and hot weather to live in either. So i totally understand wanting to live in the hills. But then again I know hundreds of people who live on the coast and LOVE It. Thanks for watching
❤
They should slow maps and location down to-get references If interested. I know the area but this threw me.
I’m hope so I’m by next year my retirement on play de Carmen ready pay for condo will by ready next year too 🎉🎉🎉
Woohoo congrats aleks!
Could you please provide a link to short term rentals if you have one? The prices you quoted are much lower and reasonable than properties through airbnb. We would like to come and stay for at least two weeks in February. We have stayed at many different all inclusives, but for a longer stay, a rental would be much more affordable. Thank you.
The examples I showed are for long term rentals. For short term rentals I do recommend airbnb or booking.com. You're going to pay a higher amount because they offer the convenience of giving you something shorter term. I would recommend renting an airbnb for a month and once you are actually here, then you can talk to the locals and ask around for a landlord that is willing to do something month to month that is furnished.
Are you even able to use the beaches in PM? Last time I was there the sargassum was brutal.
Nope
it's seasonal. For example. currently in May 2023 the sargassum levels are low compared to other months. However this fluctuates.
To check the sargassum levels daily, I recommend this page facebook.com/RedSargazo
I didn't watch the entire video, but I do want to warn people that it gets very hot and humid in the summer there, and summer lasts for 6 months of the year. It's also vulnerable to hurricanes, although they are few and far between, they do happen. Yes, it's beautiful, but it's not good if you hate hot weather and storms.
Thanks for your feedback. We do share that info in the video :)
Hello!
Please suggest a town for my Wife and I.
Our requirements?
1. Beach town.
2. Bicycle (Flat terrain) friendly.
3. Prefer not to own a car.
Thank you!
There are too many to suggest in this short of a comment
Here are some of my favorites mexicorelocationguide.com/best-beaches-to-retire-in-mexico/
You don't seem to mention that those US prices are based on a certain exchange rate. At this moment the exchange rate is not in our (the US) favor, so all prices have gone up approximately 20% (exchange rate was 20 to 1 now it is 17 to 1) Also, anything American sized is 16000 pesos to 25000 pesos (furnished and with a landlord who will fix things that break) if you are looking at the houses of three bedroom or more.
I mention on every single video, with rental examples, that it is approximate and can change based on the exchange rate. That's why I always include the Mexican peso amount. So you can calculate that if the peso has fluctuated 😉
@@MexicoRelocationGuideright on and love the Mexico relocation guide
Mariana que calor & frio hace?
No hace nada de frio. Esta en el caribe, amigo. Hace calor
This no longer applies in PM. They're starting to build more high rise hotels and lofts that probably were put on hold due to Covid. I hope they don't destroy the sleepy village setting like they did in playa del carmen and tulum.
I am seriously considering moving to Puerto Morelos from Florida. I need assistance with information. I feel I would be happier to retire there and I think I can afford to live there alone on $2k monthly income. Does that work?
yes- many people live comfortably on that amount or less. I'd be happy to help you in your relocation journey. Consider our COMPLETE Mexico Relocation Guide. It really helps you move to Mexico the right way mexicorelocationguide.com/guide
How do we contact you? We will be in Plsya Del Carmen from February 6-14th and would like to see 2 bedrooms, 2 bath condos to rent or buy at a later time, near the beach and shopping.
Check out our site- we have a variety of recommended realtors in Riviera Maya
It’s all part of our complete Mexico Relocation Guide mexicorelocationguide.com/guide/
What business can I start for 100k in Mexico I am planning to immigrate to Mexico and run a business and live there
I just spent 3 months there iliked it but it's a bit small for me
Totally get that. Perhaps you would like Playa del Carmen or Cancun more
Informative video but please move your camera much more slowly
A good tip is to choose a slower play rate- for example choose your settings to play this video at .75x the time and it will slow it down a bit. :)
Is it still inundated with seaweed?
It’s seasonal. Currently there is seaweed. But you would have to check it almost daily to see what the daily sargassum levels are
There are beach cams to get a view, but it can vary day to day.
Is it safe?
Yes!!
Obviously. Marianna don’t recommend places are unsafe. Besides this is like a town. Always you can google for the safe and TH-cam videos. Where people who lives there let you know. How it’s is
It's as safe as any other city that I recommend living in Mexico. Of course you can be at the wrong place at the wrong time anywhere, but we think Puerto Morelos is very safe
Well what do you say about recent violence by drug cartels in Cancun?
I say it’s unfortunate. And yet I still recommend this area to people because the truth of the matter is, the cartels are not after regular Joe Shmoe. Just ask the millions of people living in the area if they plan to move or leave. They won’t.
The people affected by this are almost always somehow involved
A few years ago we stayed at a hotel in Puerto Morelos for 10 days. It was impossible to swim in the water due to the rocks, not the mention the sargassum and some kind of fish that would bite really hard!! We weren’t the only ones getting bitten because people would scream and run out of the water. It only happened to us there. Not in Cancun, Playa del Carmen or Isla Mujeres, so we assumed it was a local thing of Puerto Morelos.
Also, the roads were mostly dirt with gigantic potholes that would wreck the front end of a vehicle if not going slow enough and paying attention to avoid the holes. All in all, we didn’t liked it. Sorry, but no thanks. We couldn’t wait to leave honestly.
It’s not for everyone- plus the sargassum levels are fully seasonal and vary a lot from one week to another.
But for some people PM is magical
Look at Florida at this moment
It’s not cheap. You’re misleading people
I never said cheap- I gave a price range for everything. I'm not misleading anyone. Im giving you a realistic cost of living with the estimates and examples I presented. Where in Puerto Morelos do you live?
I will never be able to pronounce
"puerto morelos... like her.
I was born and raised in Mexico so don’t worry. I can never pronounce some words in English correctly even though I lived in the USA for years
Can you find work in this town if your an American?
You can probably find work. But most Americans get shocked by how low wages are in Mexico.
@MexicoRelocationGuide We go to Mexico every year so I've already braced myself. Lol. We won't need to make very much. We're going to retire in Mexico. I just wanted to find a small job to keep myself busy.
Probably a good idea if you want to keep busy and not worried about the actual income. If that's the case, maybe volunteering would be a better gig
Have they got the seaweed problem solved yet
No unfortunately- seaweed issues come and go weekly
Until the countries contributing to the bloom of sargassum, change, there is no way for Quintana Roo to "solve" it.
