Hola! My name is Trish, originally from Iowa and I have lived in Puerto Morelos for the past 8 years. This small fishing village is changing NOW and FAST! It is really shocking and honestly, I feel like that is an understatement! Let me know your thoughts on the video!
My passion is to help you explore Mexico, this "dangerous" country that everyone wants you to be scared of! Well, I am here to help! I have day trips all through Cancun and the Riviera Maya. Also in 2023, I launched my Local All Inclusive trips. Which are 5-day 4-night trips! We did 3 last year and I have 2 for this year. This is a way to explore Mexico make new friends and learn about local customs and traditions.
2024 Local All-Inclusive Trips below:
Merida Oct 30 to Nov 3: 5 days 4 nights Day Of The Dead Celebrate and experience this incredible tradition of celebrating the life of loved ones that have passed on. Merida is an amazing location with a DEEP history and culture around this holiday.

Chiapas December 5-9 2024: 5 Days 4 nights Chiapas is what I call the Costa Rica of Mexico!!!! It is mountainous, and green and lots of animals to see! We will go down the famous Sumidero Canyon, explore waterfalls, and visit a coffee plantation. I took this trip in Dec 2022 with my mom and my husband and all I can think about is getting back there!...and how can I live there! hahah

@cindyk3076 5 месяцев назад

Nice seeing you again! I'm sorry about the growth which will bring more traffic, strain on the utilities (which you mentioned as I was typing, lol), and lots more foot traffic and possibly crowded restaurants. When growth is more organic, things happen in increments, and as you said this is happening all at once which must be difficult to take. Yes, that phase 1 looks institutional. Too bad the ordinance was changed allowing such tall buildings to be built on the beach, ruining the view for everyone behind them. These videos are entertaining and informational, a good combo!

@MyTrishAdvisor 5 месяцев назад

@kaanspa128 5 месяцев назад

Also, Selva Escondido...ugly! But so many of them are, they tear the jungle down and put up buildings and concrete and it's just going to increase the heat in the area, which is already unbearable in the Summer.

Thank you. It makes me very sad. We first came to Puerto Morelos in 2010 and fell in love with the quaint little village. We have stayed numerous times in Condos and the last several times was the Palma Real. While we liked the choices offered at the Chedraui, we missed the little grocery store (Casa Martin) that we used before. I understand the need for progress but hate to see changes that will soon have this beautiful area become a mini Playa.😥

Great video with lots of effort to show us what’s going on. Really appreciate Trish! Like others have commented, I like your style presenting. We owned a condo for 10 years in Palma Real-right beside the skinny high rise on the beach. It is surprising how nothing happens for a long time and then everything happens at once. I’m surprised how much of my heart is still there.

Awwww thanks Derek !!! It was a long day of filming and a lot to take in but I knew I had to get the info out because even the people that live here didn't know a lot about the buildings going up!!! I honestly need to do a new one because I have found like 15 new buildings going up since then!

@sfehler1557 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for the video. The amount of growth happening so quickly is indeed overwhelming. Crazy that they are allowing tall buildings so close to the beach. Keeping a bigger set-back would have somewhat preserved the (former) character of the place. I sure hope some thought has been given to sewer / water etc. With all this change, it may stop being the little place we fell in love with. Which makes me sad - but at the same time, we're not locals either, so I guess we are part of the 'problem' - and in the future we may even end up being people who stay in some of these new places. Clearing so much jungle is a shame. Then again perhaps better than displacing locals? I really don't know what to think. Perhaps a future video can show us some of the Colonia that has not (yet) changed too much :)

@MyTrishAdvisor 5 месяцев назад

Yes its a lot to deceifer! I have all kinds of feelings about it but I tried to keep this video as diplomatic as possible! They way they cleared they cleared the junlgel is a shame. I just hope the town tries to update and keep up with the changes as far as sewage, elecricity, traffic control and parking....but I don't know. I will admit since we bacame our own municipality a lot of things have been inproved so that is good! I am just not sure they are ready for the infastructure! This time next year will be the big test.

@OlivierBousette 5 месяцев назад

This is a great video showing the growth of PM, what’s interesting is that one thing I’d add, most the colonial side construction was actually aimed at Mexican citizens but when the pandemic hit sales slowed and was revamped towards expats and investors, and has blown up since, and I believe that has the secondary effect of these condo construction projects, and auxiliary projects like retail, restaurants, and services. The downside, I’ve seen a jump in costs of 10-15% since 2019 because of all this. How it will impact locals and economy long term will be interesting

@MyTrishAdvisor 5 месяцев назад

The lake chapala area (whole area) is an example of what happens when the growth outpaces the infrastructure. they have a lot of electrical outages (weekly!!) which also means the water is out when that happens.

We were in Santa Maria Del Tule, Oaxaca (near Oaxaca city) for a few months and then went down to the Oaxaca coast early in December... We are here for 4 months in a pretty remote (8 miles of mostly dirt road to get here) village that is a big Mexican vacation spot for snorkeling and weekend trips (Bahia de San Agustin....it's west of Santa Maria Huatulco). We plan to go back up to El Tule after our stay here to work on our residency and rent a casa for 6 months. Who knows, next winter we may be twiddling around in Quintana Roo (perhaps w/o the RV...just suitcases, busses, planes and vacation rentals.

@MyTrishAdvisor 5 месяцев назад

Well it's not as much the "feel" is taken because of the buildings as it is they type of people moving here. They are bringing their high stress and big city culture with them. The being in a rush and mad when things are late or not done like they are used to. Or aggressively honking and shouting or yelling at a clerk at Chedraui. The people moving here are trying to get away from stress but they are just bringing it with them and spreading it here.

I lived on the other coast, in Bucerias, last year. It was a small village, but the number of big condos going up right on the beach was insane - the construction and noise was horrid, and I don't know how the infrastructure is going to handle all the new builds. Not to mention prices there were insane - 700k USD for a 2 bedroom condo. In a small town in Alberta Canada that would get me a nice 4 bedroom house. I think many parts of mexico are changing fast from the influx of foreigners.

@@jillmattioli9640 I totally get your point and I agree. Just because it's a good investment doesn't mean it's good for the community but it is still a good investment. This is what is happening.

Great job Trish! I've wanted to see a video like this for the past year. My wife and I came to Puerto Morelos in 2012 and with the exception of 2021 (covid) have been back each year. The changes are astounding and the acceleration in these changes even more astounding. I think people will always miss the way things were when they first visited no matter when that first visit might have been. In 5 +/- years today's new visitors are going to be missing 2024! Thanks for the video and the effort you put into it!

@MyTrishAdvisor 5 месяцев назад

Yes absolutely agree and thank you!! It was a lot of work but I'm glad we made a video!! I really just can't believe all thr building going up all at once!!!! Its changing gotta find a new way to love this place.

Actually Kaana and Luum in Selva Escondida are 2BR/2BA. Palmas has up to 3BR. The part of Selva you drove through is phase 2. What they're building now is Selva 2...not confusing at all to have two things named Selva 2. Doh!!

@MyTrishAdvisor 5 месяцев назад

Hahaha, I knew after we talked one time you told me which, and I totally forgot, hahaha. It is confusing, but no matter what phase, it's a lot!!!! Hahah. Thank you for the clarification!!❤

Watching from Vermont. I’ve spent winter in Puerto starting in about 2010. Haven’t been back for a few years and cannot believe the changes. And the prices!! Omg. A friend from there bought a condo in colonia side about 6 years ago for equivalent $20,000 USD. $130,000 to be even way out of la colonia is insane!!

@lexlovesthebeach 5 месяцев назад

Watching from British Columbia, Canada. I was in Puerto probably 15 years ago and there was nothing there (barely)! It's crazy to watch videos over the past decade and see the growth but this is something else! Wish I could make it back down there but don't think it will be any time soon, unfortunately. Thanks for sharing.

@Grandpa_RLP 4 месяца назад

If there was 2 or 3 story buildings behind them they just got screwed out of their ocean view. I would be raging mad if I lost my view to these buildings. I could not afford to live beach side anyway but this is making me rethink our retirement ideas. In 7 years it will not be near what it was. The easy snorkeling right off the beach, the scuba diving off the beach, the non crowded beaches, the quaint square, All of that will not be the same. Boo..... Might as well start planning the new location to retire for a few years. 🙁

@MyTrishAdvisor 4 месяца назад

Yup, you are absolutely right! My friends that live in Puntarena that is 3km away from the beach have a view they told me these buildings going up are blocking g their view too! It's crazy! A lot of people are VERY upset, not even that they lost a view but just mad in general, and that is what is going to kill them! They are putting too much energy into being mad, I used to, but I'm done. I can't control these things, and it's all happening whether we like it or not!

@velmatristanlopez8789 5 месяцев назад

What was there at Sol Blue before? I’m trying to remember. Because it wasn’t just an empty lot right?

It was an empty lot with some tall bushes. Casa Caribe was purchased by a huge developer so I expect that beautiful Hacienda to disappear as well.

This January we seen jus part of this progress and I'm so worried for the town, reef, mangrove, etc! 😔 This is so sad 😭 we sadly are going to PV next Jan and I can't imagine how the town will look if n when we return. On a side note we have always walked the road to and from Playa Jaguar no idea we could walk the beach....how do u get around the shipping port?

@MyTrishAdvisor 4 месяца назад

It might be changing but this is still my home, I love it here and even with the changes I will still be here but I am so ready to spend less time here. I really want to explore more of the center of Mexico and of course other countries but to see all the change is hard just because it is happening so fast! SHipping port....you don't.

I came to Puerto 11 times between 2013 and 2018, then didn't come back again until late 2022. (I met Trish around the time she moved there, then ran into her again in 2022. Cool gal!) The place changed exponentially more in those five years than the five that preceded it. Estoy tratando de aprender mas espanol, y el desarollo es un poco demasiado para mi ahora. (I'm trying to pick up more Spanish, and the development's a bit much for me, now.) Given the geographical location, I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. (I've expended a lot more energy to get to places that are a bit off the beaten path than I had to to get to Puerto in 2013.) Sounds like the revocation of the three-story limit on beachfront properties is a factor. I'm pretty sure Puerto has relied heavily on tourism for a few decades, but the rapid, drastic development's striking, for sure! Reminds me of the changes in Tulum between my first visit in early 2001, then again in 2013. The area was pretty unrecognizable to me, lol. I'd guess the economic stimulation has to be appreciated by some of the locals, including the many newly-arrived. For visitors, there are obviously plenty of other places in Mexico with less tourism development, if that's your preference. Haz tu tarea, mis amigos! 😛

@GringosRUs 5 месяцев назад

Nice to see you posting a new video. The whole Riviera Maya is going through this. Tulum is nothing like it was 10 years ago, and the infrastructure, primarily sewage and water are a problem, and the cenotes are taking a hit. Now with Tren Maya in place and the new Tulum airport, it will continue. The conveniences of these things are great, but at what price? Also, the entire Yucatan is suffering the highest rate of inflation in all of Mexico right now. We are currently in Playacar for a while, and it's not really for us. A lot of this new construction is overpriced in our opinion, so we don't have budgets like that. But, there are plenty who do, and they are feeding the demand.

@GringosRUs 5 месяцев назад

And some people are buying these condos without ever seeing them, on spec, for investment income only with no concerns really except for the investment opportunity in vacation rentals. One day, we'll hope to buy a house to live in - just a house. LOL

@MyTrishAdvisor 5 месяцев назад

Thank you!! I am glad to be back!!! Yes imaginé hundreds of thousands of places are being built like this over 200 miles or more. This whole peninsula is going through a huge change. I agree over priced and sooo small....BUT people are buying them....they don't know what they don't know. So glad to see you guys here!!! Thanks for yiur comment and support!!! How are you liking Playacar?

@GringosRUs 5 месяцев назад

@@MyTrishAdvisor Well, Playa and Playacar are not our vibe. We knew that before we got here. It's too gringo and too touristy overall. It's also overpriced. Riviera Maya was never going to be in our plans when looking for a place to call home because of those things, but our Airbnb in Campeche was a bad experience and we needed something over a holiday/snowbird season at the last minute that would fit into our budget, so here we are! LOL We literally left Excellence in PM on Jan 2, drove to Campeche, and on Jan 4 drove back to Playacar. Insane! And we have another stay after this in Tulum, only because MMJ has a festival called One Big Holiday at the Hard Rock in Puerto Aventuras in April. So far, out of 8 cities since we arrived over a year ago, the central highlands are looking more like home, but we still have 2.5 years and more places to visit before we decide. Both Queretaro and SLP are looking really good right now. We are wondering if you feel like you will be priced out of PM with all the growth and the inflation rates? What are your thoughts on that?
