Luxury Hoteliers Magazine 3rd Quarter 2019 | Page 10

HOW DO YOU CREATE PERSONALIZED STAYS FOR YOUR GUESTS? We have a Golden Nuggets initiative which requires active listening, and paying attention, we train on this daily and it allows our team members to connect with our guests and create truly remarkable WOW moments. We have a customer centric approach that translates beyond team members and management into senior resort leadership. While at other properties meeting the General Manager or Hotel Manager is a rarity and generally occurs for VIP clients or in the process of guest pacification, at Acqualina it is our goal that every guest is met by not only a senior member of the leadership team but by either of the aforementioned if not both throughout their experience on multiple touch points. By conversing with our guest we are able to find out valuable information that can be utilized to improve the existing and further enhance their stay at the resort. DO YOU USE TECHNOLOGY TO GAIN INSIGHT INTO THEIR PREFERENCES OR ENHANCE THEIR STAY? We do use technology to help us with anticipatory service, and employee engagement to create special personalized experiences that exceed expectations and make a lasting impression. We are always looking for technology solutions that translate into fast service delivery while not compromising our quality. During the third quarter of 2019, we will introduce a new App to help us further personalize our services from the moment our guests reserve their hotel room through their entire stay. 10 ILHA
