January 15, 2021. Playa Royale, Mexico. The Condo.

Many years ago, Ken and I purchased 10 weeks of condo 3701. Our condo is on the seveth floor of the third building. It is called Fractional Ownership. We could have purchased a regulat fee simple ownership. But Ken did not wish another property to look after so we purchased the fractional ownership, where we live here for 10 weeks each year and the association looks after the maintenance. It was fully furnished so we just arrive and move in and live. We have 2 lockers on the same floor so we keep clothes an shoes. We arive with medications in a small case plus a backpack. The system has worked well for us. When something is the matter, the maintenance folks come and fix it. Since I arrived, the water in the kitchen sink was running away slowly so this morning I called the front desk, who asked maintenance to come. Within 3 minutes someone was at the door to check the sink. And fix it they did. When I first arrived, the safe would not work properly so again the maintenance folks were here immediately. If you have full ownership, you the owner are responsible for maintenance. If something is broken you must pay. There are only three floors of fractional ownership in Playa Royale. Of the 5 towers, only three floors in one building has the fractional ownership. This system works for me but most condos here are owned outright.. The place is well looked after. Once a week the condo is cleaned with new towels and sheets. The lady makes a thorough clean of the place which is not small. It is all included in our annual membership fee. Our type of owndership has worked well for both Ken and me. And I still like the system now. This condo is pleasant and big enough to be comfortable whether there is one person or eight. I especially like it when the maintenance person comes immediately to fix the problem. And much to my surprise, the maintenance person today was a lady. Progress in Mexico for the ladies.
