The Mayan Beach Staff and Family  

The staff at Mayan Beach Garden is happy to have our guests enjoy the beauty and hospitality that is part of Mayan Beach Garden. We are however in a remote area of the world and we realize that there are a few amenities that are not available (such as hair dryers and phones) and will go out of our way to make your visit as enjoyable as possible. Just let us know how we can help you.

All of the cabanas and buildings at Mayan Beach Garden have been constructed by owner and builder by trade -- Kim Bales, using tradesmen from local towns. Originally from Seattle, Washington, Kim builds to US building standards for quality and safety, having built multi-unit complexes for many years before coming to Mexico.

The name Mayan Beach Garden came from their passions. Kim loves Mayan Ruins, Marcia loves gardening and both love the Caribbean (Marcia likes to be IN the caribbean and Kim likes to LOOK at it!)

Lupe

Lupe is one of our cooks. She knows how to make EVERYTHING Yucatecan. From Bacalar, Lupe leaves her family every week to come out and stay at Mayan Beach Garden and cook great food. She is putting her daughter through the university while she works with us.

At the left she is pictured with "Pan de Muerto" - the bread eaten by Mexican families on day of the dead as they remember their loved ones. We serve the traditional bread here at Mayan Beach Garden once a year dunked in traditional Mexican chocolate milk. Lupe makes it better than any you will find in a Mexican bakery.

Rafa
Rafael is our longest existing employee. He knows how to do EVERYTHING. From maintenance to cooking some of our standard meals - to bartending - he does it all with a smile! His English is improving every day -- someday he just might make us obsolete! If only there were two of him!
