Fiber options, Starlink, mobile carriers, remote-work reality. 2 answers from PlayaStays' local team.

  1. Is Wi‑Fi reliable enough for remote work in Playa del Carmen?

    Yes, in most modern condos — fiber (Telmex, Megacable, Totalplay) delivers 50–300 Mbps reliably. Always backup with a Telcel/AT&T eSIM (~$15 USD/week unlimited) for video calls. Ask hosts for an actual speedtest screenshot from this week before booking long stays.

  2. Where do I buy a SIM card or eSIM in Mexico as a tourist?

    Easiest: Airalo or Holafly eSIM bought before you fly (~$15–25 USD/week unlimited). Cheapest physical SIM: Telcel Amigo at any OXXO ($150 MXN starter + $200 MXN/month for 30GB). AT&T Mexico is comparable. Avoid airport SIM kiosks — overpriced.
