Hotel El Ganzo, San Jose del Cabo’s boutique artist haven, is revamping its food and beverage concept with the appointment of new food and beverage director Rene Enrique Perez Lima and Omar Lopez Flores as executive chef.
 
“Hotel El Ganzo is pleased to welcome Rene and Omar to our team. Their experience, enthusiasm, and creativity is breathing new life into our food and beverage concept,” said Ella Messerli, general manager at Hotel El Ganzo. “With their talent and leadership, a new identity for all of our in-house food options is being rolled out.”
 
Lima brings over eight years of top-tier restaurant and tourism experience to his post at El Ganzo. Previously, he held the title of food and beverage manager for Hotel Me by Melia in Cancun and senior management positions at The Ritz Carlton Cancun, Hotel Paradisus in Riviera Maya, and Le Meridien Cancun Resort & Spa. In Mexico City, he was the general manager of The Palm Polanco and director of food and beverage for Hotel NH Collection.
 
Executive chef Omar Lopez Flores, who was classically trained in Spanish and French cooking, masterfully mixes those flavors with Mexican cuisine to create dishes that are as eye-catching as they are flavorful. Lopez is a veteran of the food and beverage industry with over 21 years of experience, including roles at Hotel Presidente Los Cabos, Cabos’ Hotel Royal Solaris, Marquis Los Cabos, and Plaza Lancaster in Mexico City, and more.
