Hi, I'm Chris — founder of PlayaStays.
I built PlayaStays after years of seeing the same problem repeat across the Riviera Maya — owners trusting their properties to managers who under-communicate and under-deliver. We're a founder-led operating company based in Quintana Roo with local teams running every one of the eight markets we cover — built to handle a single unit or a portfolio with the same standards. If you own a property here, I'd like to help you think it through.
