Really thankful to have found Cruz Roja while in Cancun. Originally our hotel, like many previous…read morereviews, sent us to Hospiten. We followed their guidance and that was a mistake. Over $400 USD for a consultation by a nurse for a few stitches. We were told it would be $2,500 USD minimum. We don't have that type of money. They informed us that we could leave after we've been discharged. After a very long wait and no one showed we finally convinced someone to let us pay the "consult" bill and leave. Then comes our saving grace Cruz Roja (Red Cross). It's a first come, first serve concept. You really need to know Spanish or have a translator for the billing/signing in. The doctor was very friendly and better transparent. It was rather refreshing. The pricing was upfront. The stitches were 480 MX (~$24 USD) and we were in and out under an hour. We were told of prescriptions to pick up at the pharmacy as well. Honestly, a major blessing. Fair warning - it's pesos or credit card only

Was on a trip in Cancun with my boyfriend and some friends when my boyfriend came down with bad…read morefood poisoning. The hotel that I was staying at recommended that I go to Hospiten, but I read many bad reviews of them overcharging tourists ($5000 USD) because the resort and Hospiten have an agreement to scam tourists. I went on Yelp and found Cruz Roja Mexicana, and took a taxi to the clinic. There were a lot of people, but the doctors and staff were efficient and quick, and treated my boyfriend swiftly. They gave him an IV and prescribed medication (he was in the clinic for about an hour and a half), and we were able to pick up the medicine at the pharmacy right next door. The treatment itself cost about $30 USD, and the medication was about $15 USD, much less than the hospitals nearby. Overall, I would highly recommend this clinic if you are having an emergency and need treatment ASAP. I would suggest having a Spanish speaker with you, though, as there was only one person working that spoke English in the clinic and they were quite busy.
