In a few days, we will show you the four apartments we looked at before picking our favorite and how much each apartment cost. So stay tuned! Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss that!

We used our method of How to find perfect apartments around the world (link provided) to find this apartment so we didn’t have to pay booking fees.

You can contact the landlord directly here to rent this apartment so you won’t have to pay any booking fees.   We are not making an affiliate commission from this landlord. We are just doing this to help our subscribers enjoy a place we loved so much.  Say hello to Karla and Manolo our landlord.  They just had a baby boy about a week ago.  

The high-end restaurants in Antigua average around $8 USD for an entree, a local family-owned restaurant starts around $5 USD, and you will see food cart type vendors starting for as little as $3 USD in the central market and food carts around town. Happy hours around town are two for one drinks for starting at around $3.00

With regard to local transportation, we just walked everywhere but you can also get an Uber taxi to get your groceries home starting at around $2 USD.

For a full understanding of what it would cost you to live here, visit Numbeo for Puerto Morelos and add anything you spend money on in your home country that is not mentioned in the table.

Never move anywhere until you have visited first personally to verify the living costs for your lifestyle and needs. I am not guaranteeing these prices. These are just my notes and estimates from the time of my visit and this post. Your costs will likely be drastically different depending on lifestyle and the time since this post.

Please book using our links to recommended flights, tours, or accommodations. You will pay nothing extra, but we will earn a small commission. Your kindness will encourage us to keep making these travel guides and videos.
