7 birth clinics in Playa del Carmen, Mexico

The resort town of Playa del Carmen on the Caribbean coast — Another popular location for childbirth in Mexico. Playa del Carmen rivals Cancun in terms of tourism appeal and is home to a large expatriate population. This is not a “village” at all, as some people think. Playa has everything for a comfortable life, and the infrastructure is largely aimed at foreigners.

The choice of birthing clinics in Playa del Carmen is smaller than in Cancun. But there are most of the same clinics here as in Cancun, and these are either American or Spanish network medical companies — Amerimed, Hospiten, Playamed… Therefore «less» does not mean «worse». And then, it doesn’t matter at all how many clinics there are in the city, if they are all of the same high level. The cost of childbirth is exactly the same as in similar medical institutions in Cancun. That is, the first choice you should make is — Where will you live: Cancun or Playa del Carmen?

Most clinics are located not in the central, state part of Playa del Carmen, but closer to the federal highway or behind it. If you come to Mexico for childbirth, you will be interested not in the proximity of the beach, but in how safe and comfortable the area where you will rent housing is. There are quite a few such areas close to clinics. These are new areas and guarded residences, with swimming pools, parking lots and green areas, which are close to supermarkets and beaches — just 15 minutes by car.

The staff at most clinics speaks English. Many gynecologists also speak English. But you also have the right to take your own translator to the birth. In general, an interpreter has the right to save a lot of money when organizing childbirth independently.

In this post, we list the top 7 birth clinics in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. We did not rank them on any basis, say, by popularity among foreigners. The choice of clinic is up to you and your doctor. Many doctors work in several clinics at once, and it is worth listening to the doctor’s advice on choosing a clinic.
