The Management Split, In Numbers
Professional operators like Mana Mana Hospitality run an 80/20 revenue split — the owner keeps 80%, the operator takes 20% — which combines with Airbnb's 3% platform fee to an aggregate 23% cost of doing business.
Keeperz Suites vs The Lighthauz, Side by Side
Keeperz Suites' Management and Facilities sits inside a bigger spec comparison — same developer, same waterfront corridor, two different products for two different purposes.

Why This Detail Is Structural, Not a Brochure Bullet
Keeperz Suites' Management and Facilities is worth verifying against the exact spec sheet directly with Lewis before treating any of these figures as final — launch prices, psf and completion dates shift between sales phases, and Keeperz Suites' own maintenance runs RM0.78–0.94 psf against The Lighthauz's estimated ~RM0.35.
Buyer checklist
Structural features like this are what separate a well-performing short-stay unit from an average one over years, not just at launch.
