## Coverage Notes by Region **Cancun and the Riviera Maya** — excellent 4G through the hotel zone, good in Playa del Carmen and Tulum, drops inside cenotes and jungle areas. **Mexico City** — full 4G/5G across the metro area, including the subway. **Oaxaca, San Miguel de Allende and the colonial cities** — good in city centres, patchy in surrounding villages and mountains. ## Adding Caribbean Stops If your trip continues to the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Puerto Rico or the Bahamas, a **regional plan** beats buying a separate eSIM per island. Puerto Rico is the strongest of the group (US carriers, 5G in San Juan); Jamaica thins out in the mountainous interior. ## Pro Tips 1. **Download offline maps** — coverage drops between towns 2. **WhatsApp is king** in Mexico and the Caribbean 3. **Video call on hotel Wi-Fi**, save eSIM data for exploring 4. **Do not count on resort Wi-Fi** — many are unusable at peak times **Continuing into Central America?** See the [best eSIM for Guatemala](/blog/best-esim-guatemala-2026), the [best eSIM for Costa Rica](/blog/best-esim-costa-rica-2026) and the [best eSIM for Panama](/blog/best-esim-panama-2026) — data there costs more, so sizing matters.
