Overview
- On Thursday, Sept. 24 the Colegio de Martilleros proposed a 25% reference increase for seasonal rentals and published weekly starting rates of $375,000 for a studio, $588,000 for two rooms, $863,000 for three rooms and $1,176,000 for a three‑room house.
- The Colegio stressed these figures are non‑binding guidance that can change with demand and will vary by location, condition and amenities of each property.
- The local beach operators group Cebra reported average rises near 20% for full‑season beach cabana packages, with total season prices ranging roughly from $3.6 million to $6 million and lower rates for single umbrellas.
- The municipality confirmed a pre‑season lifeguard schedule with mandatory reduced coverage from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in October and the full summer rescue operation starting on November 1.
- Officials urged contracts be made in pesos through licensed agents to avoid fraud and tax issues, a move intended to protect tourists and help the city hold occupancy as holiday stays shorten to about five to seven days.
