Pablo's business management approach is extremely well balanced, combining outstanding analytical skills with a hands-on style. His more than 15 years in the hospitality industry has spanned virtually all areas of sales and marketing as a group and wedding coordinator, e-commerce manager, national and international group sales manager, FIT sales manager, and director of sales and marketing.

Gonzalez's philosophy is one of exceeding expectations and of creating guest experiences that are truly memorable. A native of Mexico City, Gonzalez understands the complexities and intricacies of the Mexico hospitality market and brings passion and excitement together with hands-on resort experience to his new position. Some of the areas which he plans to focus on include revenue management, staff education, culinary, sustainability, local pride and innovation.
