Where do workers at all-inclusive resorts at Riviera Maya live?

bellchuck9 asked:


I was there last summer and immensely enjoyed my time at an all-inclusive hotel. I know that the animation/entertainment team often get housing in exchange for their work, but where do the line workers (bellboys, waiters, maids, etc) live? Do they usually reside with their families in nearby towns (Akumal, Chemuyil, etc)…do they have something equivalent to “apartments” in the US? Are their earnings enough? They were so hardworking but they got paid so little…

Apologies for categorizing it as Tulum, it was the closest category available.
