One of the many questions we get when people are making a move (or visiting!) Puerto Morelos is HOW’S THE HEALTHCARE!? And quite frankly- it’s great and MUCH cheaper than what most people are used to back home (ESPECIALLY if you’re from the United States).
Since it’s such a hot topic, we figured we should throw together a little blog post highlighting different medical facilities in Puerto Morelos!
