Puerto Morelos by denareagan

Is there anyone living in Puerto Morelos who knows if there is an expat community there. Thanks, Dena

IMO they all taste and cost about the same. We get offered water delivery but it's not very regular. Our best bet is to walk next door to Oxxo and exchange our empty jugs for full ones ourselves. I'd say look for the nearest water supplier ... Read More

I'm here with my family. We'd visited a number of times and knew our way around a bit. Plus there is usually an active homeschool community here, although that has largely dried up due to the pandemic. I like that Playa has excellent medical ... Read More

With the chronic traffic jams in KL I cannot imagine trying to take the bus! Your friends are brave. It was either the LRT or a Grab for me, but the latter does get expensive after a while even though it's far cheaper than rideshare services in ... Read More

Depends on what part of the city you live. There are a lot of gaps in city that the train lines don't service. If you're in KLCC, transit is excellent. I was in Setiawangsa for a while, and could easily take the red line down to KLCC. But ... Read More

I'm living in Playa del Carmen, just a bit south of PM. From what I've seen, many of the foreigners living there are more snowbirds/part timers and digital nomads. It's a quiet area, though. Just make sure you plan to have a car to get ... Read More

Puerto Morelos by Maddie123

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good real estate agent in Puerto Morelos, Mexico Thanks, Greg

Brodi Cole

The local facebook groups are really active with realtors who do know a lot about the area. It may be helpful to look at the Puerto Morelos fb group to get some leads. We just moved to Playa del Carmen in May. We got an Airbnb for 2 weeks and looked ... Read More

I was in Malaysia as a digital nomad when borders closed in 2020. I travel full time with my family. Pre-pandemic it was easy to go for 3 months visa free. That's how we were there. No work visas, etc. Malaysia doesn't do that. There's ... Read More
