In my three bedroom condominium on two levels, I had a minisplit in each room that I rarely used and also ceiling fans which most Mexicans relied on. As I recall, after very little use, the minisplits always seemed to break down and needed to be fixed and I early on decided it wasn’t worth the money. If the Mexicans could live with the fans alone, I thought I should be able to as well. Fortunately, I happen to like hot weather and not being overweight, temperatures over 100 didn’t really bother me that much . In fact, as I look back on my twelve years in Mexico, I can think of nothing I didn’t adapt to pretty well. Except, perhaps, when a bad neighbor messed with my water and/or electricity on the outside so that I ended up paying more than my share. I fought for my rights at the “Aguacan” and also “Profeco” and managed to win in each case. But it was a bit frightening and made me insecure, also a big waste of time and energy. There was not enough control over things like that, unfortunately. Most Mexicans prefer their own place no matter how modest, and I get it. In my case, there was a safety issue and I lived three flights up with an open techo with a palapa and jacuzzi, etc. Protectores on balconies and everywhere. My kids said I wouldn’t have a chance in a fire, but there were never any fires in Cancun… Los bomberos sometimes came when a muchacha had locked locked herself out and needed to be rescued from one of he balconies. That was always a fear of mine.
