Extra Tips for Travelers in Playa del Carmen
A few practical things to know to make your stay on the Riviera Maya stress-free when it comes to healthcare.
Always carry your passport
You will need it to purchase prescription medication at pharmacies in Mexico. Keep a digital copy on your phone as backup.
Never drink tap water
Tap water in Playa del Carmen is not safe to drink. Always use bottled water — even for brushing teeth. Most hotels and resorts provide bottled water. Dehydration in the Caribbean heat escalates quickly.
Mosquito and dengue protection
Dengue fever is present in the Yucatán Peninsula, especially during the rainy season (June–October). Use DEET repellent, wear long sleeves at dusk, and consult us immediately if you develop high fever with joint or muscle pain.
Reef and cenote safety
Coral cuts and sea urchin stings can get infected rapidly in tropical conditions. Clean wounds immediately with clean water and consult us if you notice redness, swelling, or signs of infection.
Avoid self-medicating
Antibiotics require a prescription in Mexico. Always consult a doctor first — our consultation takes 15 minutes and gives you a valid digital prescription immediately.
