Accommodation Scams in Puerto Morelos

Fraudulent Vacation Rental Listings

Puerto Morelos attracts visitors seeking a quieter alternative to Cancun and Playa del Carmen, and fake vacation rental listings exploit this demand. Scammers post professionally photographed villas and beachfront casitas on platforms including Facebook Marketplace and some third-party booking sites, collecting deposits or full payment before the renter arrives to find the property unavailable, non-existent, or already occupied by genuine tenants.
