Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Rancho Playa Azul
About the General Project
What happens after the 15-year contract ends?
You can renew your participation for another 15 years under the same terms by making a new investment for the original amount.
Who owns the land?
The land is owned by César, who contributes it to the project as part of his investment, along with management and operational know-how.
What guarantees do I have that my investment is protected?
The investment is backed by tangible assets: the cabins and the land they are built on.
A legal participation contract is signed specifying rights, conditions, and recovery mechanisms.
The project operates with transparency and ongoing oversight.
What if the project does not meet the expected occupancy levels?
If the projected returns are not achieved, the investor may request a full refund within a period of 2 years.
How can I monitor the performance of my investment?
Bookings will be managed transparently through online platforms. All income and expenses will be handled via bank transfers, with regular reporting.
Is there a risk of natural disasters (hurricanes, floods)?
As with any coastal destination, there is a natural risk. However, preventive and design measures will be implemented to minimize any impact.
How much experience does the project management team have?
We have over 25 years of experience in tourism, hospitality, camp organization, and operational management.
What if Rancho Playa Azul decides to sell the land?
That is not a possibility. The land is not for sale and this is not part of the project model.
Can I resell my participation before the contract ends?
Yes, you may transfer your participation to another interested party, as long as prior notice is given and the rights transfer is formalized in the contract.
Are there plans to expand the project or build more cabins?
No additional cabins will be built. The next phase will include larger homes intended for vacation rentals or long-term stays.
About Operations and Profits
How often are profits distributed?
Quarterly.
How are income and expenses reported to investors?
Through quarterly digital reports summarizing income, occupancy, expenses, and profits.
What exact operational costs are deducted before profit distribution?
Who sets the rental rates for the cabins?
Rates are adjusted according to:
Surf season
Wave size and quality
Vacation periods
What if a cabin breaks down or needs major repairs?
The project manager is responsible for repairs and ongoing maintenance to ensure operations.
What occupancy rate is used to calculate projected income?
High season (March to September): 80% occupancy, average rate $3,000 MXN/night
Low season (October to February): 40% occupancy, average rate $1,500 MXN/night
Are the rates adjusted for inflation or demand?
Rates are mainly adjusted based on market demand (wave conditions, tourism, key dates).
Which booking platforms will be used?
Do platforms charge a commission? Who pays it?
Yes, platforms charge a commission. This cost is included in the guest’s final price.
Example: if the target price is $1,500 MXN/night and Airbnb charges 18%, the listing will be $1,770 MXN so the investor receives their full amount.
Will taxes be paid on income? Who handles this?
Taxes will be managed through a legal business entity created for the administration of the cabins.
About Personal Use of the Property by the Investor
