Born in Texas, raised in Mexico, and armed with an Aerospace Engineering degree from UT Austin 🤘 (where I met my amazing wife, Haley) and a Master’s in Software Development from TU-München, I bring a unique blend of technical aptitude and entrepreneurial spirit to Beach Please. My focus lies in nurturing strategic growth while continuously seeking opportunities to enhance our operational efficiency, elevate owner benefits, and deliver an unforgettable guest experience. I also make sure that our web & software development efforts are prioritized to maintain our competitive edge in our industry.

If I’m at the beach, I’ll either be fishing, swimming in the waves, or drinking a cold Pacifico. I’m a regular at Luna Luna for breakfast (get the huevos rancheros!!!), crispy birria tacos from across the street at the office, and Lamara for their fresh tuna ceviche. I’m on 2 HOA boards in Bucerias, a counselor for the Bucerias Golden Zone Neighborhood Association, and I’m the co-founder of Local Lens Vacation Photographers (check us out on Shark Tank). I am also listed as inventor on 6 patents from my time working on the innovation team at Bell Helicopter.

Saul Andre Gómez Medellín

Co-Founder / Director of Operations & Finances

Greetings! I’m Andre, the Director of Operations & Finances at Beach Please. I was born & raised in Bucerias, and my family has been here for 3 generations. I also hold a Master’s Degree in Accounting & Fiscal Planning. At Beach Please, I take charge of day-to-day operations, owner relations, and regulatory compliance, working tirelessly to support the rapid and sustained growth of our company.

Drawing from my experience at the SAT (Mexico’s Tax Administration Service), I possess in-depth knowledge of Mexico’s fiscal laws, adding a valuable layer to our financial strategies.

Together with our dedicated team, we’re committed to ensuring Beach Please continues to thrive, providing exceptional experiences for our guests and property owners.

Haley Price Gonzalez

Co-Founder / Director of Marketing & Real Estate

Hello! I’m Haley and I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas. Before this business, I was a nomadic traveler almost exclusively staying at Airbnb properties. I never really got into the business side of it until purchasing a vacation rental property. I feel deep in my soul the small thoughtful details that make a vacation great for guests and bring that touch to the business in any way I can. My formal education is in communications (RTF from UT Austin), and in 2014 I started a worldwide photography business (Local Lens) in the niche travel industry with my loving husband Eric, that guy who is also on this page. I also got my AMPI certification for real estate in 2022.

If I am at the beach I am most likely splitting a caguama (ka-wa-ma = large beer) with Eric and watching the sunset or playing a game of Kuub, so if you see us feel free to say hello! We also are regulars at Karen’s or Buclas happy hours. I look forward to elevating our company’s public presence so that guests and homeowners in the area can feel the Beach Please vibe. Our goal is to create a trusted resource for everyone in the area, regardless if they are a guest or a Beach Please partner.

Lezly

Beach Please Coffee & Visitor Center

Hi there! I’m Lezly, and I’m thrilled to be part of the Beach Please team as Supervisor for the Coffee Store & Visitor Center. Originally from Torreón, Coahuila, my journey in hospitality began during high school at a small restaurant, where I learned the ropes from sourcing suppliers to hosting events that boosted sales. Moving to bustling Guadalajara before turning 30 expanded my expertise in the restaurant industry, especially in coffee. When the pandemic hit, I transitioned into administration, honing my organizational skills.

I did not see the ocean until I was 29 years old. I try to go as often as possible, and my partner and I chose beach life for its tranquility. I’ve always enjoyed making others feel welcome and valued—essential ingredients for customer loyalty and business growth. In my downtime, I love searching the beach for unique stones to craft home décor and I hope to one day learn to kitesurf. With a passion for innovation and adapting to new challenges, I’m excited to contribute fresh ideas that cater to evolving demands.

Jorge

Ingeniero de Mantenimiento y Mejora Continua

I’m Jorge, a Civil Engineer originally from Salamanca, Guanajuato, who found my way to Bucerías to pursue my university studies. While my background includes a hospitality job at Vidanta, my passion lies in maintenance and construction—I’ve worked on building hotels and villas in Punta de Mita. At Beach Please, I focus on overseeing contractors, conducting maintenance checks in our villas, and bringing fresh ideas to the table.

Beyond work, music is my passion—I’m a regular at concerts and festivals. On the beach, you’ll often find me playing soccer, paddle surfing, and enjoying music while chatting with friends and family. My beach essentials? A speaker, umbrella, snacks, and great company. My playlist? It’s a mix of electronic beats and reggaeton vibes, featuring tracks like Major Lazer’s “Get Free,” Bad Bunny’s “Sorry Papi,” and Griz’s “A New Day.”
