GrupoMayan is a philosophy, belief and concept mainly taught by the Vedas, India’s most ancient scripture. This is the very concept employed in the facilities and amenities of GrupoMayan Resort as well as in the service, from the activities to the fine cuisine that the resort offers.

According to the Vedas teaching, a person eats to live, rather than lives to eat. This teaching does not mean that the food that the GrupoMayan Resort offers is tasteless. In fact, aside from the great and relaxing activities that one can enjoy in this place, the fine cuisine of the Vedas is something that anyone longing for a great holiday in GrupoMayan looks forward to.

What does the GrupoMayan Resort offer?

Basically, a GrupoMayan Resort fine cuisine consists of fresh vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, seeds, nuts and dairy products incorporated in the cuisine moderately. Countless dishes, under the traditional food preparation of the Vedas will be enjoyed in any of the resorts practicing the belief of the Vedas. These are mainly combination of nutritious foods that are not only good for the body but also for the soul.

Of course, since the GrupoMayan concept originated from India, you can never put away the spices and curry. These spices fried with curry can actually turn a plain vegetable dish into a flavorful and delectable one. The great chefs in the GrupoMayan Resort can even incorporate the Mediterranean flavor by adding herbs and coconut milk for an enticing and enchanting Thai entrée. There’s a lot more in GrupoMayan Resort that can really make your mouth water! With the satisfying and scrumptious fine cuisine of the Vedas, even the die-hard meat lover in your family will never miss the meat! Those who think that a Vedas meal is nothing but bland and boring are actually in for a big and pleasant surprise!

Vedas Cuisine – A Spiritual Diet?

No! You don’t have to be spiritual nor a vegetarian to enjoy the cuisine offered by the Vedas. All you need to do is to become more aware of what your body really needs. This way, you will find eating meat a little heavy at the start and heavier in the long run. This is the exact opposite of what you will experience when you try the fine cuisine of the GrupoMayan Resort. It will help you maintain that energized yet light feeling that most Vedas practitioners are talking about. The cuisine offered by the Vedas is especially important if you have the goal to elevate your consciousness to the level when you feel love and compassion for all the living things that are breathing – including the animals. Eating these animals rather than caring about them and respecting them will simply harden your heart, and this will help you move towards the goal that is beyond your reach.

Switching to the Vedas Diet

After staying in the GrupoMayan Resort, and trying the different dishes offered by the chefs, you will find yourself wanting to switch to the Vedas diet. While it is true that the cuisine is so fine that you want to stick with it, don’t do it over night. If you are really decided to prepare the dishes you tasted while you were on your vacation, you should first cut down on the red meat while gradually eliminating it from the dishes you are preparing for your family.

Timeshare is a term that describes a way of exclusive use of lodging for a particular number of days each year. Generally, timeshare in GrupoMayan is sold by weeks and it is also known as vacation property.

Between 1992 and 2003, the industry of timeshare in Mexico grew up 50%, this growth indicates the feasibility of this kind of investment. Different destinations have increased their horizons under the regime of timeshare, as much for developers as for buyers like GrupoMayan, the first ones because they assure the sale of their spaces and the valuate of them, while customers have the best options in destinations and facilities, it must be considered as an advantage the possibility of exchange which made the idea of timeshare more attractive yet.

Closely 15% of the buyers of timeshare in Mexico during 2003 already had a timeshare plan in other place, which explains how glad they were with this modality. The most of the buyers of timeshare are bought in Beaches destinations, between them Mexico has gotten a big recognition for developers that have not limited resources to build resorts of the highest level as GrupoMayan.

Today there are several types of timeshare programs that allow to the customer to choose the kind of vacation property that fits to their needs.

This way the purchase of timeshare can take several legal forms.

Semana y unidad fija a perpetuidad (week and fixed week to perpetuity)

The buyer receives a legal form allowing him the use of a specific condo, in a determined week, each year and forever, just like buying a house. The benefits can include the tips and the right for participating in the building administration. Under this agreement, the proprietary can rent, resale, exchange or donate the vacation interval.

Derecho a uso (Right for use). The property of the development is maintained for the developer. The buyer obtain the right for using in one or more developments, during a specific number of years, generally between 5 and 50, and at the end the rights come back to the developer. Actually these plans are the most common used for new companies and basically they functions as a membership of a club.

Vacation club or points programs

These programs offer the major flexibility (GrupoMayan offers them too) of use in different date each vacation. The members of the club buy a package of points, which are used as “moneda de circulación” (pendiente traducción), to access to the different kind of suites, season or number of days. The number of points required change according to the demand of the partners, the size of the unit, season, location of the development and amenities. A vacation club can offer contracts of right to use or “a perpetuidad” (pendiente traducción)

Fractioned property

It allows to the consumers buy a bigger quantity of weeks, generally between 4 and 26, for a lower price. This property is common in sky or beach destinations.

“Lock-off” or “lock-out units”. These programs allow to the owners the option to for use only a part of the unit in a date, and the rest in other. It can be rent or even exchanged one of the portions.

Intervals can be sold as floating time or fixed time

Fixed time is understood as the condo or unit bought to be used one specific week, this interval is assigned each year for that specific client.

Floating time refers the use of lodging generally for a unique season of the year. The owner should reserve with time enough the date of the vacations because the confirmation is bases on the first call/first confirmation way.

According to a recent study the 70% of the condos of timeshare are sold under floating time modality. The difference in prices is determined by the demand of the season that the customer is buying.

Split-week. The members that prefer shorter vacations chose this plan because it is possible under this plan to divide the interval in two or three visits, commonly one visit for 3 nights and the other for 4, in two different dates at year. The reservations are generally confirmed under the modality of first call/first confirmation and according to the availability.

Biannual property or alternative use, this property allows to the buyers the use of their property every two years, this type of purchase is cheaper, and it is ideal for those clients that do not take vacation every year or have less economical possibilities.
