As Executive Chef, Rojas’ responsibilities include menu development, hiring, cost control, budgeting, staffing and all operations of Casa del Lago, Punta Bonita and Agave Azul.

“Alejandro has an incredible vision and energy, two essential traits in overseeing multiple dining establishments in a luxury resort such as Rosewood Mayakobá,” commented Regional Vice President and Managing Director of Rosewood Mayakobá, Pablo Graf. “We saw a lot of candidates and he stood out in the culinary crowd.”
