Would you recommend “Work Zone” http://www.oficinasplaya.com over Nest?
Do you have other coworking spaces there you would recommend?
And where is a good place to stay (i.e. coliving)?
Hey, I wanted to speak the praises of Selina’s playa del carmen location (Calle 2 between avenida 5th & avenida 10th). Its great to work here! Fast wifi, bright airy space with good lighting, free use of their pool, restaurant in their courtyard, and literally across the street from the beach. It’s actually surprisingly affordable too - a few of us here started a fan page for the community of coworkers called @playapreneurs on IG. Follow it to stay looped, and reach out to their manager Gladys if you’d like to book coworking with them: gladysm[at]selina[dot]com
Been in Playa for a day working at Nest. Good spot - but I forget I’m in a tropical locale. Does anyone have positive WiFi experience with a bar, restaurant, cafe on the beach in Playa del Carmen? It doesn’t have to be rocket fast - just not a slow, unreliable connection.
Thanks!
I worked here once or twice. There is a bit you can sit which is covered but still on the sand. As far as I remember the wifi was fine, it was a couple of years ago. I’m not sure how far out the wifi would reach. Depending on what you need to do (sounds like not much) looking at tethering would be a good option.
Generally I don’t find beaches to be very productive and I worry about get sand in my laptop and so the place above isn’t somewhere I spent long working at.
Personally I’d recommend getting your beach fix before and/or after work
I’m interested in renting in apartment in Playa del carmen, Mexico, for the month of March. I’d like to pay $400-600 US. Anyone know of any good ones that are within 10-15 minute walking distances of 5th avenue and the downtown Mega grocery store?
Any suggestions welcome.
-Andrew
I haven’t been but I’m looking for May now. I noticed: VRBO, HomeAway had good monthly rates (I’m just looking for one month). For longer stays: Did you check out Comparto Depa? It’s listed in the Playa page. It’s in Spanish, tho.
Were you guys able to find any secure and reliable living and working spaces in PDC? Im headed there in April.
I am looking to go to Playa hopefully in April. March is spring break central AND Mexican family vacation time in that area so Id bet many short term rentals will be booked up fast. I saw decent places on AirBnb for that price range. Let me know how the Wifi is… I hear it is spotty. NEST Coworking has fiber but its $250/mo USD.
After being told it's unworkable in Puerto Escondido, looking for alternatives :)
Hi guys!
If you’ve been to Puerto Escondido, Mazunte, Zipolite, etc, please share your experience with the internet there.
What speeds did you get up/down? Where?
How solid and consistent was the connection?
How common are blackouts and loss of power?
Any other tips, favorite places to work, etc?
Which towns have decent internet?

I am planning to travel to Mexico City next weekend and stay for 7-10 days there. I wonder if cafes, stores and other places like these work? And if cafes work, do they work as usual or only for take away&delivery? Will be very thankful if someone can help here.
Hi, i live in mexico city and it is very normal. Some stores/restaurants close earlier, some limit the amount of people, but for what i can see, most of the places keep working as usual.
I will be traveling/working through Mexico with my dog February to April. My plan is to stay in Sayulita for about 2-4 weeks, then travel south along the cost.
Is there anyone who wants to share an airbnb apartment? I was thinking of renting a private villa, but because these are large and have multiple rooms, I was wondering if there are fellow nomads wanting to share? I’m open to other locations as well (Puerto Vallerta, Oaxaca, and everything in between these two locations.
I'm also interested. I'll be in PV Nov-Dec this year and Playa del Carmen in Dec - Feb 2021.
This post is quite old but I would be interested as well
Going in Cancun/Playa del Carmen for 3 months starting January 5th !
I could be into this. I’ll be there March 24th. I’m looking for someone to split costs with.
Hi guys!
Know Mexico City?
We are here for 4 more nights. We want to get a good feel for how it would be to live here as nomads.
What neighborhoods should we check out? What cafés should we peep? What peeps should we meet?
Haha, thanks so much!
Just in case anyone stumbles across this later, I totally agree with Parque Espana as a fun place.
You can’t really go wrong staying anywhere along Tamaulipas. You can walk to a different restaurant for every meal for weeks on end. A lot of the places to stay here reflect that popularity which is good and bad. If you’re willing to pay above the market rate of surrounding areas you can almost always find a very nice place on Airbnb that’s available. If you have a lower budget then you’ll want to book pretty far in advance.
Roma Norte also has a great scene it’s worth checking out.
As far as good goes, do not pass up trying the tacos Por Siempre Vegana. Whether you’re vegan or not, these are some of the best tacos in Mexico City which means they’re among the best in the world!
If you’re feeling really adventurous, befriend a local and ask them to tell you about the Tepito neighborhood.
I went to CDMX for 1 month and ended up staying 2 and still didn’t feel like I scratched the surface. One of my favorite cities!
Try Condesa near Parque Espana, which seems to be the most fun area to stay in right now

Based on Playa del Carmen's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
This place is a lot of fun, has beautiful beaches, and gives easy access to amazing cavern diving. That said I wouldn't recommend it, overall. You have two parts, centro and hotel zone. Hotel zone is essentially as if Bali existed in the US, but inexplicably is somehow in Mexico. Roughly 3-4x the price of Bali and the rest of Mexico, almost no real mexican food (the best reason to go to Mexico) in the hotel zone, a bunch of beach hipsters (Tuluminati), relatively terrible internet (some 10Mbps+
