Ek Balam

On April 14 we drove to Genesis resort at Ek Balam, while Lee, the owner, had a well deserved break from the 24/7 routine of running the hotel by staying in our casa in Puerto Morelos. We stayed until the 19th, then came back to PM to meet Lee, have supper, and enjoy the evening with her as she stayed another night.



This time we stayed in the Luna room, with its own little patio, overlooking the lovely pool. We helped out while we were there by cleaning the pool, helping with shopping, organizing the library, working on the wifi system, and cleaning some rooms the day we left. It was fun, but you can sure see how running a resort can wear you down!! Might have to rethink one of those retirement fantasies of running a B & B some day.....!
Luckily, Lee has Pedro and Letitia, who are her manager, cook, cleaner, gardener and good friends. These 2 are such sunny delightful people, always with a ready smile and willing to help.
Pedro's nephews - Marcus, Modesto and oops - I have forgotten the youngest's name!)are part of the team - the boys do watering of Lee's extensive gardens, clean the pool, and whatever chores Pedro gives them to do. Lovely boys!
