“This is the weekend we have been waiting 16 months for,” said Greg Guthrie, General Manager at Hotel Maya - a DoubleTree by Hilton. “Fuego will have some of the traditional barbeque foods with a few new items while Hotel Maya will offer fun in the sun activities.”

Guests can build up an appetite by hopping on a Jet Ski at Hotel Maya’s dock right outside of Fuego restaurant for an exhilarating ride on the Pacific Ocean. Or take a break from the stress and strains of post-restrictions life in a poolside cabana with luxury amenities. Soak up the sun at the waterfront pool, or the man-made beach Playa at the Maya. Satisfy a sweet tooth by making homemade s’mores at one of seven fire pits when the sun sets. These experiences and more can all be booked at https://www.hotelmayalongbeach.com/experience/.
