Is there a showroom or model unit for Moncello Crest?
Model units and showrooms for Moncello Crest are available to view, though not always at the project itself: they move as projects are built and turned over. Once a community is finished and lived in, visits are coordinated with property management for security, and we tour you through the amenities and grounds. The units themselves, especially reopened ones, are often not yet dressed for viewing. Viewing is by appointment, so message us before you make the trip and we will confirm what is open to view and where. Your specialist meets you at the viewing and follows up with layouts, availability, and the numbers.

Yes. At Moncello Crest, Blanca has 4 basement parking levels and Ciela has 9 podium parking levels. A specialist shares current parking availability and terms on inquiry.
Who handles property management?

How does reservation work?
A reservation fee of ₱30,000 per unit, plus ₱10,000 for parking if reserved, holds your unit at Moncello Crest. Buyers then have 30 days to set up payment through Post-Dated Checks, an Auto-Debit Arrangement, a bills payment option, or a Robinsons Virtual Bank Account.
What financing options are available after the down payment period?
The remaining balance shifts to bank or in-house financing after the down payment period, with bank rates typically around 7% annual interest over 10, 15, or 20-year terms. This applies to condotel and residential units alike at Moncello Crest, so ask your specialist for the current schedule. At turnover, buyers get a 30-day inspection window before acceptance is finalized.
What does a condotel purchase at Moncello Crest include?
DMCI's official price list marks Moncello Crest's condotel units, which cover all of Blanca and the lower floors of Ciela, as inclusive of furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) and hotel joining fees, so the total price already covers a furnished, resort-ready unit at turnover. Ciela's upper floors are sold as residential units and do not carry this inclusion.
How does financing work for condotel units at Moncello Crest?
DMCI Homes keeps a dedicated list of accredited banks for condotel financing: Bank of Commerce, BPI, China Bank, EastWest, Maybank Philippines, PSBank, RCBC, and UnionBank. Unlike some other DMCI condotel projects, Moncello Crest's published down payment terms apply to condotel and residential units alike, rather than favoring one building. Message us and your specialist will send the latest official payment schedule for your unit.
Can I earn rental income from a Moncello Crest condotel unit?
Yes. Condotel units at Moncello Crest join an individual rental pool run by the hotel operator, PDI-Hotels, under a management agreement you sign as the owner: an initial 10-year term, automatically renewed for another 10 years unless the unit owner rescinds it. Room revenue splits 30% to unit owners, 5% to the condominium corporation for association dues and expenses, and 65% to the hotel operator for the project's regular maintenance and upkeep. Owners also join the Leisure Plus program for annual complimentary room nights, transferable and giftable, usable across any Leisure Residences property. Independent short-term renting, such as Airbnb, is not allowed. Ask your specialist for the current official terms and a sample computation for your unit.
