Profile

Sian Ka’an is a low-density condo hotel inside Bahia Principe, an upscale residential community located on the road between Akumal and Tulum.

The hotel claims to guarantee 7-8% annual rental income for the first seven years. Of course whatever time you spend counts against your income and incurs a hefty all-inclusive fee, meaning Sian Ka’an is best fit for people who love spending a few weeks a year in the area or disciplined investors who aren´t going to use the condo.

All units are one bedroom, making them less expensive to fill with upscale furnishings. They offer views of the surrounding jungle. The beach is only a few minutes away and the 27-hole golf course and other attractions offer plenty to do on site - though there´s no nearby nightlife.

An international set of buyers is opting in to this development including Europeans, Americans, Canadians and Mexicans.
