For Owner Mark, It’s
All About Relationships
Mark didn't arrive in La Barrita as a business owner. In many ways, he grew-up here.
His grandfather moved the family to Plan De Los Amates in 1956 to escape Northern Canada’s winters. His father, Jim, purchased this property, lived here 20 years, and earned locals' respect through quiet generosity and his warm, genuine presence.
Mark’s three decades of trust and deep relationships building with locals unlocks the authentic Mexican experiences no resort can replicate.
The fishing guide who engages with friends, not tourists. The healer who doesn't advertise. The restaurant owner who texts Mark about today's exceptional dish.
You're not buying accommodation at Casa Rayo Del Soul. You're accessing decades of cultural understanding, relationships and an ecosystem of unique and authentic Mexican experiences.
Here’s Your Host
Mark is deeply committed to supporting his neighbours and friends in La Barrita and surrounding area. His years of living here has naturally cultivated deep friendships. Many of the experiences he’s curated for his guests are offered by his friends and neighbours.
Here’s Mark sharing his history, passion and stories about how Casa Rayo Del Sol came to be and what he envisions for his guests.
