You may recognize Jorge López as Valerio, the rapscallion of an older half-brother to Lu (Danna Paola), on Seasons 2 and 3 of Netflix’s Elite. But this summer, things are heating up as Lopez moves from Spain to Brazil as Diego, a veteran staffer of Hotel Maresia and soon-to-be lifeguard on Netflix’s new series, Summer Heat/Temporada de Verão.

While Diego may be a tad more on the straight and narrow than the devilish Valerio, both are trying to move on from the demons of their pasts... and certainly know how to emerge from a pool, if you catch my wave. With both dudes single and semi-available, we took the liberty of creating dating profiles for these bachelors. But the real question is: Which of these guys would you swipe right on?

BIO I’m back at Hotel Maresia for the season. A little about me: I’m from Santiago, Chile, and speak both Spanish and Portuguese. In between shifts, I’m training to be a lifeguard, which is a dream of mine — and not just a childhood one. Saving people from drowning is really important to me for many reasons. Hoping to make this summer one to remember 🌞😎

DREAM FIRST DATE Spending the afternoon swimming the day away, then hitting the dance floor at night with someone who pushes me out of my comfort zone.

HOBBIES Swimming, snorkeling, yoga, partying with my amigos back at the lodge, going on scenic boat rides around the hotel, on- and off-schedule 😉

SOMETHING THAT’S NONNEGOTIABLE FOR ME For me to lead my own life, rather than for it to lead me. You can learn a lot from the Mafalda comic strip, you know? I also really value honesty and choose to live in the present. The past is in the past, verdad?

FAVORITE PLACE Cheesy to say, but, honestly, Hotel Maresia. It’s where I’ve found peace after losing my brother, Danilo. It’s been a hard few years, but I always wear his necklace to keep him close to me, and my coworkers are like family.

WORST DATE EVER I spontaneously bought one-way tickets to Chile for myself and someone I thought was the love of my life, only to find out she’d been lying to my face the entire time we were together. I was crushed, por decir lo menos.

LOCATION Madrid, Spain 🇪🇸

AGE 19

BIO “When I set my mind on something, I get it.” 😈 This one-of-a-kind Chilean is here for a good time, every time, vale? 😉 Looking for a girl, guy, los dos, los tres, cualquieres. For the record: There’s nothing more attractive than a woman reading books 📚. And if you surprise me, you’ll have me hooked. Creénme.

DREAM FIRST DATE We lock eyes at the discotheque and the rest is history. Just think about it: How rare is it to desire someone with all your heart and for them to reciprocate? It might not seem like it, but I’m really a hopeless romantic at heart who wants someone to love and to love me in return. Ask my half-sister if you don’t believe me.

HOBBIES Being the life of the party, rocking threads Harry Styles wishes he could pull off, reading by the pool and swimming — sin ropa. And running the Marchioness’ winery. Want to share a bottle, white or red? 😉

SOMETHING THAT’S NONNEGOTIABLE FOR ME To never love anyone who treats you like you’re ordinary. Sí, yo sé que la línea és Oscar Wilde, pero también se aplica a mí.

FAVORITE PLACE My convertible. Nothing could ever make me sell this baby.

WORST DATE EVER Finally convincing the girl I’ve been pining for that she really loves me, too. But it’s a forbidden kind of amor, comprendes? So, when a classmate of ours walked in on us at a party, it prettyyyy much killed the vibe. Joder.
