Playa del Carmen’s Mahekal Beach Resort has named a new general manager, the property announced in statement.

Mahekal has appointed Attila Gombos the role, in which he will oversee “all aspects” of the resort.

“We’re excited to welcome Mr. Gombos to the Mahekal family,” said Lamont Meek, Chief Operating Officer of Circa Capital, which is the co-owner and manager of Mahekal. “Considering Mr. Gombos’ past Caribbean and Mexico-specific experience, and diverse international background, his strong knowledge of the marketplace and competitive landscape make him well suited for this position.”

Gombos had most recently served as director of food and beverage at the Paradisus Playa del Carmen.

MAhekal has 196 palapa-style bungalows on its beachfront property.
