Ultra-luxury resort context
Rosewood, Fairmont, and Andaz set the service baseline. The residences operate inside the same expectations — anything below the resort standard reads as 'broken' to the guest.

01Why Mayakoba
Why Mayakoba is its own thing.
Mayakoba is the master-planned resort enclave north of Playa del Carmen — Rosewood, Fairmont, Andaz, the championship golf course, lagoons winding through the development. The residences here are at the very top of the Riviera Maya market. Owners and guests expect concierge-grade operations; anything less shows up immediately in reviews.
Championship golf + lagoons + beach
The Mayakoba El Camaleón championship golf course, the lagoon water taxis, and the private beach are all part of the residence experience. Guest amenities are why ADR clears.
International + week-long demand
Mayakoba pulls international VRBO families on week-long stays, Booking.com premium-tier Europeans, and direct-booking corporate retreats. Nightly Airbnb is a smaller share.
Concierge ops or nothing
There is no middle ground in Mayakoba. Either the operation runs to resort standards (immediate response, immaculate turnovers, white-glove on-site) or the listing review tanks. We staff it accordingly.
02Who We Manage For
Four kinds of owners. One operating standard.
Whatever you're renting (or not), we run the same accountable operation underneath. Pick the plan that fits — the local team is the same.
Long-term landlords
Owners renting on 6+ month leases — tenant screening, lease drafting, rent collection, and renewals. Stable cash flow with minimal turnover.
Short-term & Airbnb hosts
Owners running nightly stays on Airbnb, VRBO, Booking, or Expedia — listing optimization, photos, dynamic pricing, and guest care across every platform.
Absentee owners (caretaking)
Not renting at all — bill pay, scheduled inspections, vendor coordination, and monthly photo reports so an empty unit doesn't become a quiet maintenance problem.
Multi-property investors
Portfolios across one or more neighborhoods — one accountable local team, one operating standard, one consolidated owner statement.

Residences we manage in Mayakoba.
Mayakoba residence inventory is small — every property is essentially its own operation. The HOA cadence is set by the development, not the individual building.

Hi, I'm Chris — founder of PlayaStays.
I've owned and operated rental property across multiple markets — long-term leases, short-term guests, hybrid use. I've run all three models personally and learned what actually protects an asset versus what just looks good on a contract. PlayaStays is built on the operating standards I'd want for my own property in Quintana Roo. If you own here, I'd like to talk.
FAQ
Common Questions about Property Management in Mayakoba.
Short-term and vacation rental management is 15% of booking revenue. Long-term rental (rare in Mayakoba) is 10% of monthly rent. Both include the $125/month Property Care base. Caretaking-only owners pay just the $125 Property Care fee. The expectation is concierge-grade operations; we staff to that standard.
Yes, but the guest expectation is resort-level — nightly Airbnb is rare here because the customer profile prefers week-long VRBO or direct bookings. We will recommend the channel mix that fits your residence.
Highest in Playa del Carmen — significantly above Coco Beach. The specific number depends on residence type, view, beach / golf adjacency, and time of year. We share specific ranges on the consultation call after seeing the residence.
The Mayakoba HOA is the development itself, not a building HOA. Guest registration runs through the development; we handle it as part of every check-in. HOA dues are paid as part of Property Care.
Yes — many Mayakoba owners do exactly that. Property Care without rentals: bill pay, HOA dues, scheduled walk-throughs with photos, vendor coordination, monthly condition reports — at the development's service standard.
Yes. The 5% Quintana Roo hospedaje tax (RETUR-Q) is filed monthly for short-term bookings. Foreign-owned properties under fideicomiso are handled accordingly.
