Flooring/Countertop Durability Question for Vacation Rental homes

Hello everyone,  I'm having a condo built in the Cancun area in Mexico and it will be done by April 2017.  I'm meeting with the builder this month to choose my finishes.  I really like the way polished porcelain tile looks. Does anyone out there have any idea how durable this is?  I don't want it to be damaged by renters. I also heard that it is somewhat slippery. My other question is how durable is Quartz.  I've used it before in flips but never in vacation rentals.  I talked to someone who told me that it is not very sturdy when it comes to heat and hot things being placed on it.  I might just go with tile countertops because I do want a hacienda look as this is what the entire theme of the condo complex is.  Anyone with real world experience with Quartz countertops who can attest to their durability or lack thereof would be great.  Thanks,  Jeff
