Studios with Hotel Operation: An Investment That Works for You

 

A studio with hotel operation is a unit within a residential development where owners can rent out their properties to tourists through a professional management service that handles everything: promotion, cleaning, maintenance, and bookings.

Some advantages of investing in a studio apartment with hotel operations are:

  • Consistent and attractive annual income. Thanks to strong tourist demand, Playa maintains high occupancy rates, typically between 70% and 80% per year.

  • Hassle-free professional management. No need to manage the unit yourself, experts take care of everything.

  • More stability compared to traditional rental models. This business model offers fewer risks of non-payment or property damage.

  • Continually growing capital appreciation. Playa del Carmen is expanding rapidly, driving year-over-year property appreciation.

 

How Much Can You Earn?

Earnings vary by project, location, and season, but to give you an idea, high-end developments in Playa del Carmen report occupancy rates above 85% and nightly rates exceeding $2,000 MXN during peak season.

That’s why investing in a SOLAR Midtown studio, an exclusive SIMCA development with hotel operation managed by The Reef, is perfect for those seeking a profitable investment with short- to mid-term returns, without the need for daily management.
