I'm hoping it stays on time and shows up soon. I've got 3 nights scheduled for GH Playa del Carmen, but I'd like to try this property instead!

hmm. basically no seasonal variation so far, will almost certainly change.
rates could easily be rack rates, compared to values at other mayakoba.
top 3 suites (starting at double the rate of lowest room as noted) >
~$1K 76m2 oceanfront deluxe plunge pool overlooking beachfront
~$2K 123m2 2BR two room bi level plunge pool ocean view
~$5K 600m2 2BR presidential ocean view
seems odd beach suite is a little less "beach is just a short walk away"

When I see rates for a standard room such as at this property and PH St. Kitts, I just wonder whether the guests paying such ridiculous prices are high when they book. And then remain high all the way through check out time.
I want some of what they are smokin'
