About Carlos Maya, Founder of Baja Luxury Services

Born in Querétaro, Mexico, raised in San Francisco, California, my great passion for food and my experiences having traveled to different countries have defined who I am today, infusing love towards everything I do. With over 20 years in the food and beverage industry, I have realized deep in my soul that I can passionately provide hospitality service and authentic flavors of Mexican cuisine to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of Baja Mexico. 

Throughout my life, my mother taught me to treat others how you want to be treated. When I was 12 years old, due to the economic situation in Mexico at the time, my mother had to leave our home to work, leaving me in charge of preparing food for my 2 year old brother and 1 year old sister. Thanks to her teachings that she imparted to me, I quickly learned the true meaning of the word: Responsibility. 

Today, I fully understand the importance of taking care of my clients. Such as the time I was a Personal Butler, one of the many services I offer, for Bill Murray (see photo below). I had the honor of attending to this amazing actor while working in Denver, CO. Even though he was staying in an ultra luxury hotel he was a wonderful person with high values, morals and education. 

When I was in the U.S., living at the time in Denver, Colorado, I worked at luxury hotels such as FOUR SEASONS HOTEL and WESTIN. During that time, I also worked in three of Richard Sandoval’s restaurants: Zengo, Tamayo, and La Sandia. Tamayo is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Denver. Later, I worked with owner Jennifer Jasinski at Bistro Vendome, a French restaurant, where every year, we participated in the food festival on Latimer Square.

Unfortunately, my grandmother died and I had to return to Mexico. Shortly after that, I moved to Baja Mexico, working for LAS VENTANAS, AL PARAISO, meeting and working for famous celebrities and CEOs such as Will Smith, Pink, Bill Gates and more. This deepened my training and understanding about what hospitality and luxury services mean to my guests, taking care of them every day, serving in the various resorts. 

That said, I want to invite you to consider my services: No matter who you are, I can treat you like a celebrity!
