Genesis staff in Ek Balam

The staff at Genesis are a wonderful collection of local Mayan folks, like Marco, who helps water the plants, clean the pool, cleans the grounds, etc.
Here is Lee in the main lodge lounge area, with the little in house library behind her.

Sometimes even guests offer to help out, like this  New Zealander, who was a whiz with computers and helped sort out some software glitches.....!~

Pedro, Martina and Modesto are all working at preparing and serving meals to guests. 

Mercedes is part of the housekeeping staff, and does a fine job keeping rooms clean and comfortable. Genesis is a very special place with very special people!

Genesis resort at Ek Balam

Miki just got back from a week at Genesis, an ecoresort owned by our friend Lee - the same one Maggie and Ingrid just spent 2 days at last week. This is part of the courtyard area. 

Another area of the courtyard, leading into the main lodge, where guests eat, relax, check their emails or enjoy a drink. 






This is the pool area, and the water for this gorgeous area is from a cenote, crystal clear and beautiful.













Breakfast and dinner are served daily from this kitchen - that's Pedro, Lee's right hand - and includes wonderful egg dishes, pancakes, fresh fruit, and amazing 4 course vegetarian dinners.








The main lodge room where meals are served, and you can relax in a comfy chair and read a book, have a drink, or just gaze at the lovely courtyard.










Two of the rooms, Birdhouse (above) and Yuya. Each room at Genesis is special and unique, with lovely architectural features and strong attention to the environment.


Miki really enjoyed her time there - long days, great guests, and wonderful food - but is happy to be home again in PM.
