Justin welcomes you!
Hi, I'm Justin. I'm a U.S. immigrant who has made Mérida my home and built a life here centered around hospitality, community, and caring for beautiful properties. My background includes more than 30 years in hospitality, construction, property management, restaurants, hotels, and event production.
I personally manage Casa Piña and take pride in creating a welcoming, comfortable environment for guests from around the world. I enjoy helping visitors discover the real Mérida—from neighborhood cafés and local markets to cultural events, nightlife, and the hidden corners of the city that many tourists never see.
As a member of the LGBTQ+ community and an immigrant who has built a life abroad, I understand the importance of finding places where you can feel comfortable, respected, and at home. My goal is to offer exactly that: a friendly, inclusive, judgment-free space where guests can relax and enjoy everything Mérida has to offer.
When I'm not hosting, you'll find me cooking, working on restoration and construction projects, gardening, exploring Yucatán, or enjoying the city's incredible food, arts, and music scenes.
Whether you're visiting for a short stay, a winter escape, or considering a longer move to Mérida, I'm always happy to share local knowledge and help make your stay memorable. Welcome to Casa Piña.
