What do I need to know before retiring in Playa del Carmen?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Playa del Carmen, they said...

"Expats considering to retire in Playa del Carmen should be prepared to embrace a vibrant and welcoming culture. The local cuisine is a mix of Mayan, French and Spanish influences, as well as a variety of seafood and street food. Being mindful of regional customs and language is also beneficial for smooth integration. Good safety precautions should also be taken, such as enrolling in health insurance and familiarizing yourself with local emergency numbers. Additionally, expats should consider their visa requirements, as well as the type of accommodation and means of transport going to be needed. In terms of cost of living, retired expats can expect to pay lower taxes compared to their previous country, and benefit from a generally lower cost of living," said a member in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
