01Why Zazil-Ha
Why Zazil-Ha is the long-stay neighborhood.
Zazil-Ha sits north of Centro behind the beachfront strip — quieter blocks, residential vibe, long-stay demand from remote workers, families, and professionals. Our office is on Calle 34. The neighborhood pulls tenants who want walkability without the 5th Avenue noise, and monthly Airbnb works well for the same reason.
Monthly Airbnb fits well
Airbnb works best here at 28-night-minimum monthly stays — bleisure travelers, remote workers doing a Playa month, families on extended Riviera Maya trips.
Walkable to beach + 5th Avenue
8–12 blocks east to the beach, 4–8 blocks west to 5th Avenue restaurants. Tenants get the amenities without the noise.
Our office is here
PlayaStays is headquartered on Calle 34 Nte 103, Zazil-Ha. The local team walks Zazil-Ha buildings daily. Building HOA cadence, vendor lists, and the neighbors all already known.
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.
Around the Neighborhood
What's around Zazil-Ha.
The Calle 34 corridor of restaurants and cafes, Mamitas beach to the east, 5th Avenue to the south, and the Coco Beach beachfront-condo cluster just north.
Calle 34 cafes + restaurants
Trattoria del Centro, Amate 38, Las Olas — the Calle 34 corridor has its own dining scene that Zazil-Ha tenants walk to daily.
Mamitas beach 10 blocks east
Mamitas and the Calle 28 corridor of beach clubs are a 10-block walk east. The walkability is the moat.
5th Avenue restaurants 4 blocks south
Centro 5th Avenue is a 4–8 block walk south. Tenants get downtown without living in downtown.
Coco Beach beachfront condos north
Coco Beach beachfront condos are 5 blocks north — Zazil-Ha tenants often use the beach there or take longer-stay rentals in Coco when budget allows.
Zazil-Ha runs roughly from Calle 28 to Calle 38, between the beach (east) and Highway 307 (west). Our office is on Calle 34 Nte.

Buildings we manage in Zazil-Ha.

Torre Turquesa
Mid-rise long-stay condo tower — desk space, fast internet, washer/dryer, the basics that decide a 12-month lease.
Sakab condos
Smaller boutique condo set, individual-owner stock. Often the best long-tenant fit — quieter than the bigger developments.
Studios + 1-bed remote-worker stock
Studios and 1-bedrooms purpose-built for the remote worker — Tulum-style finishes at Playa walkability.
Family-sized 3-bed condos
Three-bedroom condos for VRBO families on extended Riviera Maya trips and longer-stay tenant families.

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.
