A Taste of Local Hospitality
We bring you familiar service in an exotic destination
MiraMar is owned by Fernando and Kendra Garcia and operated onsite by their incredible team. The Garcia family has been hosting guests for well over 30 years and it all started with a little palapa. Every guest is still greeted with a big HOLA and now we offer exciting boat adventures and special events too!
Fernando was born in Yelapa and Kendra grew up on a farm in Kansas. We met while working in California in 2005 and built MiraMar from the ground up! Together with our great team we open up our homes and introduce people to the magic of Yelapa.
Our kids Kayden and Tristan attend school in Puerto Vallarta. Kendra manages the bookings and event planning from PV and our MiraMar Team and Fernando greet guests onsite and take them on top rated boat adventures!
