Retiring in the Caribbean is a dream for many, regardless of their age, employment status or financial status. If you have ever dreamed of living in Mexico, Playa del Carmen might be the right place for you.
Located only 45 minutes south of Cancun Airport, Playa del Carmen is a beautiful holiday destination on its own. Some of its attractions are spectacular beaches and an exciting variety of fun activities.
Even though Playa del Carmen is still a small city, it offers all the amenities and services you need: supermarkets, shopping malls, hospitals, etc. The city is growing fast, and the prices rising; but now is a good moment to invest in the future as the peso price is on the fall.
Here at Top Mexico Real Estate, we see fantastic properties on the market on a daily basis. We decided to make a Top 5 property for Retirees in order to help our customers find the ideal place, and showcase what is out there.
