It is sad that the news channels have to publish tragedies and in many cases do not worry about telling the whole truth or be more specific.

I understand that when someone living in the United States or Canada thinks about Mexico the first thing that comes to his or her mind is what has been broadcasted for months on CNN and usually forgets to ask the question “Is it the same in all of Mexico?” Is Playa del Carmen near Monterrey and Ciudad Juarez?

It is true that in Playa del Carmen, things are not as they were 5 years ago. Today you can not sleep with the door open in your house.

There are now several thousand inhabitants. It is also true that Playa del Carmen is in Mexico and in Mexico the drug problem has grown considerably in recent months. But is this problem in all of Mexico?

Is Playa del Carmen unsafe?

In Playa del Carmen there are no assaults on the streets. In Playa del Carmen there are no shootings on the streets. In Playa del Carmen people live safe and quiet and the area is one of the safest and most peaceful places in the country to live. More peaceful and safe than any large city in the U.S.

Unfortunately, this reality is unknown by most foreigners and not everyone is able to do their homework when they are planning their holidays, when planning to invest outside their home or when planning for retirement. Many are content to see if there are embassies warnings without even seeing where exactly and why? If there were problems in Los Angeles, would you hesitate to travel to Seattle?

So for those who are still wondering whether is it safe to live in Playa del Carmen or not, the answer is definitely yes. But not only that, Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya is one of the world’s best places for retirees. Playa del Carmen not only has great tourist infrastructure, but now has a range of services for someone who intends to live permanently in this area. You can access bilingual schools and hospitals, shopping centers, restaurants and enjoy different activities.

All this without taking into account that being in Mexico, the standard of living is much cheaper than in the rest of America which promotes a better quality of life in general. Is not only about enjoying the beautiful beaches and smiling people but to be walking distance to almost everywhere, to enjoy the quality of life that Mexico offers. All of this while enjoying the much more reasonable cost of living that Mexico provides for many foreigners currently living and enjoying Mexico.
