My Mabu

The Resort and Its Setting

My Mabu is an independent timeshare property in the Mata Verde neighbourhood of Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná state, with an RCI affiliation that gives owners access to RCI's exchange network. Guest reviews are strong, with a 4.5-star average from over 1,100 reviews, suggesting consistent guest satisfaction. As an independent resort rather than part of a major international chain, My Mabu has its own character while still meeting RCI's standards for participating properties.

Foz do Iguaçu: Base for Iguazu Falls and the Tri-Border Area

Foz do Iguaçu exists almost entirely around one attraction: Iguazu Falls, the UNESCO World Heritage waterfall system shared by Brazil and Argentina and widely ranked among the most spectacular natural sights on the continent. My Mabu's location puts owners and renters within easy reach of both the Brazilian viewpoints and the Argentine park across the border, as well as the Itaipu Dam, one of the largest hydroelectric dams in the world, and the lively restaurants and shops of the city centre. The tri-border setting, where Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay meet, also makes day trips across borders straightforward for travellers carrying a valid passport.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at My Mabu and no longer plan to use it, you can list it directly on BidMyTimeshare.com as a private resale or rental — there's no third party setting your price, and you deal with buyers directly through the platform. Sellers pay a one-time listing fee and BidMyTimeshare.com takes 0% commission on the sale, so you keep the full amount you agree with a buyer.

Because My Mabu is an independent resort, resale transfers are typically handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a large branded exchange company's resale desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, sellers and buyers should both confirm directly with My Mabu's management: the current transfer fee for changing the week into the new owner's name, whether the resort or association holds a right of first refusal on resales, how long a transfer usually takes to process, and the current annual maintenance fee. These details vary by resort and can change over time, so they're worth checking fresh rather than relying on older paperwork.

A resale buyer should expect to receive the usage rights to the week itself, as purchased from the seller — any RCI exchange privileges tied to the week depend on maintaining an active RCI membership, which is typically arranged separately by the new owner rather than automatically transferred with the sale. It's worth asking the seller and the resort to clarify exactly what is and isn't included before completing a purchase.

For renters, the appeal of a week at My Mabu is straightforward: a base close to one of South America's great natural landmarks, at whatever rate the owner sets for that particular week, without needing to buy in.

Practical Notes for Owners and Travellers

Portuguese is the main language spoken locally, though basic phrases go a long way with staff and in town. Currency exchange and ATMs are widely available in Foz do Iguaçu, so arriving with local currency isn't essential. The region is hot and humid for much of the year, so lightweight, breathable clothing suits most visits better than heavier layers. Anyone planning to cross into Argentina or Paraguay during their stay should bring a valid passport, and it's sensible to book falls tours in advance, as popular time slots can fill up.
