Cozumel was my introduction to Mexico 18 years ago and remains in my heart! 🥰Rode a scooter around the entire island and took the ferry to Playa del Carmen! Time for another visit!
Sounds like it’s time for another visit indeed 😎
Same, but over 30 years ago. We rented bikes and rode around San Miguel and ended up spending a lot of time eating at small outdoor local restaurants on the east side of town. Oh, and snorkelling with dolphins from our hotel to the Marina and back. The people were all super friendly and the food was incredible. I've wanted to move to Mexico ever since. Once my current family duties are dispatched I'm doing it.
We started cruising to Cozumel around 2007. Started staying for multiple weeks at a time in 2015. Eventually purchased a retirement property in 2018. After many cruises, visiting the different places we were thinking about retirement, Cozumel just called to us.
its a magical place. Full retirement is a few years away, but its comforting having your own. Somewhat touristy ( & more expensive) on the front Streets. but we live further back on the island and it helps to know some conversational Spanish. Also, we get to travel there more often, now, that we both work from home now, but its just so disappointing working down there. Coming back in a few weeks for a B-day trip.
Nice Video! We've (wife and I) always loved Cozumel. One time, we spent 2 full weeks there. Just beach bum'ed it, loved the beaches. Ate at where the locals ate (cheap), enjoyed the people. It was Hot for sure but took some tours to the mainland and enjoyed the various Cenotes. My 1st trip was in early 1980's (diving) and they tore up the main street and put in new piping/sewers. It's changed a lot. Diving paradise, snorkling too if one knows the out of the way places. Knowing some Spanish is a definite plus, more than ordering food and drink. And for the tourists that come to Coz and expect people to jump when they bark..... relax. CHill out. Let them enjoy life as "they" know it. It always gripes me when I see families of tourists bringing their family culture to a place that's heaven. Smell the air, have a drink, a meal, and enjoy the island and island time! Island of Swallows.
💯
Sounds like pure HEAVEN! I can’t wait to visit!
It really is! I recommend visiting in person to see how you feel about it once you’re there 😉 and if you need a tour check out our relocation tours mexicorelocationguide.com/tours/
My favorite. I go there every year
It’s a great island. And I wanted to show people what living here is like because it’s different than visiting ☺️🤗
I love Cozumel. We always pick cruises that stop at Cozumel. Dolphinaris is amazing. Isla Pasion too. But we've just walked into town and eaten and that was amazing too. I used to go to Isla Mujeres back when just a party boat went to the island and there was basically nothing there.
Isla Mujeres is coming soon to my channel. I think you’ll be surprised
Wonderful island and sea view
I love your channel. I’m around 8 years from retirement, and you have been a great resource in these early times. I will definitely subscribe as we get closer. Thank you!

Sad to see it's gotten so expensive. A 2br apartment costs as much as my 4br home in Florida. Utilities about the same.
Thank you! This video is very helpful. My wife and I are very interested in moving to Cozumel.i have been looking for more info and prices of rentals. We LOVE Cozumel and have since our first trip in 2002 and the 13 subsequent visits!and feel that if Trump wins in November we need to move
It's so beautiful and I'm anxious to return to Cozumel. Thanks so much for all the good info about the island.😊

I was wondering how Cozumel compares to Isla Mujeres as far as the cost of retirement for a couple who needs to live with budget under 3k per month? We would rent a 2 bedroom likely. It seems Cozumel is larger than IM. Specifically, is the cost of dining and market food purchases about the same? I know that island produce has to be brought in and costs more than mainland because of that, correct?
The costs are about the same for most things. One of the biggest differences is that there are less rentals in Isla Mujeres so the costs of those tend to be higher
we are moving to Mexico on January 2024 and Cozumel looks like a very good place for us. Are there not crowded beaches where we can take our dogs? Thanks for the video ill be follwing your reccommendations from you relocation guide. 😊
Thanks!
Don’t most people have kids? How can people afford a 3-4 bdrm? I live in NY and rent a 4bdrm in a good neighborhood for $850 and I thought Mexico was considerably cheaper. Are these prices jacket up for expats? What part of Mexico has affordable living for people with kids? Thank you
Mazatlan or Cozumel. We currently live in Mazatlan, maybe time for a change?
you should visit Cozumel- but here’s a warning- Cozumel is wayyy smaller than Mazatlán
Many beach clips are not even Cozumel
Wrong
did they close the golf course on cozumel
Looks like it
Sorry to ask, but does Cozumel have a street dog problem as it is an island.
Not as prevalent as central Mexico, but yes there are still some street dogs. although they are mostly in the neighborhoods
Videos I see on QR place don’t look anywhere near as nice as Puerto Vallarta? Any thought which side is better?
Puerto Vallarta has more modern infrastructure and I agree that the culture may be one of more personal care for their streets and homes. But the difference is that the beaches are not as nice and it’s more gringo land than Mexico
Coz is a great place to visit but the state dept has a lot of reports of robberies and ransom abductions that aren't in the news. There is more there than cruise goers realize
Where are you getting your information from? Do you live in Cozumel?
Not so in Cozumel.
Which state are you talking about?
Is a good island,but not for retirement
What makes you say that? 😊
@@MexicoRelocationGuide Being an island everything is more expensive, in addition to being small there comes a time when everything becomes boring because it is more of the same . In my opinion I prefer playa del Carmen 👌🏾😉
Thanks for your feedback. Some people want the laid back island life 😊 and some people prefer PDC 😉
I wouldn’t call it perfect weather unless you like to sweat like a pig every day
100% beach life gets to be boring.....
Perhaps for you it is 😀 but for the 90,000 people living here, it isn’t boring at all
I'll swap your boring for living in a cold miserable UK.
Exactly 😊
It’s boring if you have no money.
@@ihaveadreamformykids4400 no-one has money, our gas and electric bill has trebled our food prices have doubled, our wages have not increase with cost of living for years, mortgages have gone up 15 times in a row. You have a free pair off feet and amazing weather, great beaches, and you can volunteer and help the wild life or street animals, have nothing and don't let them stop you doing and changing Your life for your dream or a better life.
