VICTOR
STORAGE & PURCHASE DEPARTMENT
Victor Lopez joined us at La Zebra last year as a security guard, born in Chiapas from where he set off to look for better opportunities and means to support his parents. His kindness, good performance and eagerness to start a career, gained him the opportunity to be moved to our Storage & Purchase department, where he ensures all areas have what they need to produce a memorable experience.
GUSTAVO
RESTAURANT MANAGER
Meet your ultimate Host, Gustavo Morales, who truly enjoys creating memorable experiences for our guests. He arrived at la Zebra almost 3 years ago, looking for a better job opportunity far away from home. He started as a beach floor manager and after a lot of commitment and hard work, he evolved to become our Restaurant manager. For him the most important aspect of his job is to delight our guests.
MARCO

Marco our general manager began his journey with Colibri in our sister hotel Yemaya in Nicaragua moving quickly from Operations Manager to General Manager. He then decided to return to his native Mexico where he started as Assistant Manager in La Zebra and when an opening appeared in Mi Amor he was welcomed as General Manager where he feels right at home.

Owner of a great smile, Alberto, our Housekeeping Supervisor for the past four years, can motivate his entire team and ensure our guests can enjoy the cleanest of rooms. No one ever saw him frown, and we suspect he doesn’t even know how to!
