The property includes elegantly appointed residences with views of lush tropical gardens.

Each has a modern, fully equipped kitchen with stone countertops, mosaic backsplashes, and top-of-the-line appliances; balcony or terrace; Wi-Fi; multiple Smart TVs with cable/satellite service; DVD players; and MP3 docking stations.

“Preferred Residences is designed to meet the needs of both developers and consumers in the luxury shared ownership space,” noted Marcos Agostini, executive vice president of global sales and business development for Interval International. “We are delighted to welcome The Fives Beach Residences at Playa del Carmen to this prestigious program and expand our relationship with Joaquin and his team.”
