Why mansion prices are so hard to find
The first question almost every group organizer asks me is “How much?”, and they usually ask it after searching for a while without getting a straight answer. Many large houses hide their rates behind an inquiry form. I think that wastes everyone’s time, so here are our real numbers.
Mayan Mansion is a private 8-bedroom, 10-bathroom mansion for rent in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, with its own soundproof speakeasy in the basement and a listening room designed by professional sound engineers, in the gated Playacar Phase 2 community, booked directly through PlayaDreams.

What it costs per person
A mansion sounds expensive until you divide it. These are examples for a full house of 16 guests:
- Summer, $1,995 per night: about $125 per person per night
- November low season, $2,195 per night: about $137 per person per night
- Peak winter, $3,195 per night: about $200 per person per night
- Christmas, $4,995 per night: about $312 per person per night
- New Year, $6,495 per night: about $406 per person per night
With fewer guests, the per-person cost goes up, so I always suggest organizers do this math with their real headcount before comparing to hotel rooms.
Rose’s tip: Before you collect money from your group, send everyone the per-person number for your exact dates, not the nightly rate. People decide in seconds when they see “about $137 a night each, for a mansion with its own speakeasy.”
What the rate includes
The nightly rate is for the entire house, used only by your group:
- Eight themed bedrooms, all with their own bathroom, and no one gets the bad room: Playa and Cenote Azul have king beds, Arrecife has two twin beds, and the other five have queen beds
- Ten bathrooms (eight full and two powder rooms)
- The soundproof basement speakeasy and the listening room with twelve recliners on three tiers
- The kitchen with its champagne bar, an ice trough carved into the stone island
- Private pool, jacuzzi, jungle garden, sun deck and the hammock behind the pool
- The floating reading room, about 20 feet off the ground on a net
- Commercial-grade air conditioning in the great room and A/C in every bedroom, the speakeasy and the listening room
- 24/7 gated security in Playacar Phase 2
- Me: I contact you the minute you book and help plan the stay
What costs extra
These are optional, and I quote them for your group once you know what you want:
- A private chef, for one meal or every day
- The champagne brunch, set up around the champagne bar
- Excursions: cenotes, ruins, boats, and more
- Airport transportation
Your written quote also lists any taxes and the security deposit, so the total you see is the total you pay.
How minimum stays work
Each season has a minimum stay, from 2 nights in summer to 7 nights over New Year. If your dates fall across two seasons, I’ll tell you the rule that applies. Holiday weeks book first, so if you’re planning Christmas, New Year or Semana Santa, it’s worth asking early.
Rose’s tip: The best value of the year is June through October: the lowest rate, a 2-night minimum, and the house to yourselves. The pool, the speakeasy and the A/C make the summer heat easy.
