Akumal is not so close to Cancun, we use the Cancun airport, yes, but Akumal is laid back and as safe as any town in North America with wonderful affordable medical/dental care of any kind a short drive away in Playa del Carmen.
Although it will be about the same distance as it is to the Cancun Int'l airport, I do feel that the new International airport that is supposed to be built at Felipe Carrillo Puerto is going to make Akumal more assessible, bringing in more tourism, business, and ultimately increase the amount of people interested in moving here. All of this I feel, is going to increase the cost of buying, renting and living here.
No matter where you live in Mexico it’s important to learn to live like a local does so you can help not raise the cost of living for people around you
Not that Akumal wouldn't be a GREAT hang now, but I am so glad I enjoyed 2 glorious weeks prior to the hotel build. I prefer a very slow pace, and quite atmosphere while on vacation. I just want to hear the ocean, nature and Howler monkeys [Costa Rica]. Stayed at Gabriella's Casita in the gated community. Beautiful! Unable to find her place on VRBO a few years ago. Loco Gringo suggested Miguel, my tour guide. Love him! Highly recommend him if he's still available. Thank you, Mexico Relocation for the invite.
@@kevinwelsh7490 Yes. If I wanted to be around a lot of people, tourist, ect., I would stay home. Nature, empty palm lined beachs, peace, and snorkeling are my sweet spots. Enjoy your day, Kevin.
Do the deRosas still live in Akumal? They were the original divers that you reference in your video. Thank God you toned down the cutesy pronunciation! It's like you are trying to teach poor gringos how to speak Spanish.
Can I bring my 10 lb dog to Mexico for a visit? I first visited Cancun in 1989 including Playa Del Carmen and Puerto Moreles. It was very different back then but Akumal had the same reputation as described in this video! I'e been back a few times but not in the past 15 years when much of the Riviera growth happened. I long to return.
It depends on the airline if you are flying in. Airlines are the ones that impose the restrictions of which pets can fly and what the requirements are. If you are driving to Mexico, it is very easy to bring your dog.
Love Akumal area ! Great detailed video. We were at Sunscape Resort & Spa as your typical tourist ; Ideally it would be nice to rent 3 months during the winter months and then head back to Canada. However, getting scammed would be a big concern when renting. The local people are friendly; it’s a matter of finding the right fit , where it’s a win win for everyone concerned. Tulum sounds promising?
You don't have to worry about getting scammed if you don't expose yourself. Work with a trusted realtor - if you need a good recommendation we have a complete directory across Mexico in our complete Mexico Relocation Guide mexicorelocationguide.com/guide
Demasiado caro el gobierno de mexico muy pronto frenará esas rentas excesivas pues es absolutamente altas para los que somos mexicanos ojalá y el presidente y la profeco hagan algo a esta situación
People and nature do NOT live in harmony in the Mayan riviera! Masses of untreated sewage has contributed to unprecedented algal growth which has taken over from corals, with their much slower growth. Corals are still there and all the fish etc that it harbours, but the ancient corals have mostly gone and the bits that are left are small remnants which unbridled tourism continues to diminish. Tell us about your sewage treatment systems and waste disposal, the reality of the recycling system not the green wash if you want to be authentic with this campaign. We came this year to grieve the loss of the reefs. Most people can't see what has been lost. Dont be part of the blind masses.
Those are not bargains by any stretch of the imagination, if you look what a Mexican professional makes a month which is going to be between 20,000 or 25,000 pesos a month
Tienes toda la razon. And I agree- but most people watching this channel aren’t going to be living the way a local does. Many people get priced higher rents because they speak broken Spanish and landlords take advantage of them

Is it safe for an elder woman of 70 to travel and set up a new life there, residency? I have no desire to come back to the state where I live now.
I live in a different area of Mexico and I am safe over a year and a half.
Akuma is near Cancun which has crime. Maybe take a look at Ajijiic or Quertero or San Miguel. Large ex-pat communities in Ajijiic and San Miguel.
I'm 62 and would love to retire there.
@PeopleUnite! I will research more.

Thank you for this informative video! Akumal has been on my bucket list for years ❤
Nice! It’s a great option for a beach town

Thanks
Please add a bit sbout the summer and the winter climate - the ave temps AND the humidity for the seasons...
I think a good site for you to check those average year round is this one weatherspark.com
Do the deRosas still live in Akumal?
They were the original divers that you reference in your video.
Thank God you toned down the cutesy pronunciation! It's like you are trying to teach poor gringos how to speak Spanish.
I'm guessing you are a real estate agent Mariana, given your detailed knowledge of the Akumal market.
no, but we do have a variety of recommendations in our online guide. check it out mexicorelocationguide.com/guide/

Tulum has become different than it used to be. All the chic nouveau uber rich are there and things are costly.
@@susanbarnhart1616 I agree
We heard that the INM office recently changed the payment of fees for visa renewal. They now only accept debit or credit cards? Have you heard this?
That is correct Jill- Unless their payment terminals are down for the day they only take cards

I need a good realtor. Are you available?
You mentioned a studio apartment in the Pueblo for $450. How do I find this? Thank you
Talk to the locals. Word of mouth is everything in finding the best rentals
where is it and how to get there?
Near Cancun.
Google, and... Google.
Between Playa del Carmen and Tulum

Sorry everyone. The climate in Akumal is not 70 degrees. It’s closer to 80-85 degrees average. I misspoke on this video
Those are not bargains by any stretch of the imagination, if you look what a Mexican professional makes a month which is going to be between 20,000 or 25,000 pesos a month
Tienes toda la razon.
And I agree- but most people watching this channel aren’t going to be living the way a local does. Many people get priced higher rents because they speak broken Spanish and landlords take advantage of them
These are the “gringo” prices.
You think $10,000 pesos for a rental is the gringo price? You think that there aren’t thousands of Mexicans that at those rents?
