"One of the most challenging aspects of retiring in Mazatlan is the language barrier. It can be difficult to navigate various day-to-day tasks if one is not fluent in Spanish, such as dealing with government services, making doctor's appointments and going grocery shopping. Another challenge is the issue of safety: Because it is a large city located along the coast, the city is prone to various threats related to crime and natural disasters. Additionally, expats leaving their home country may find it difficult to adapt to the customs and lifestyle of Mazatlan, or to find other expats with similar interests and backgrounds. Finally, access to quality healthcare and other services may be an issue, as not every hospital and medical facility may have the same standard of care offered in more developed countries," remarked another expat who made the move to Mazatlan, Mexico.
