Familiar Faces Take on New Responsibilities
at Morimoto and Serendipity
Assistant Mangers Jasmine Feasel and Michael Longinos had both been members of the team at the Resort & Club before being promoted. Jasmine grew up in the food industry, working in the restaurant her family owns in a small town in Northeast Ohio. After finishing her schooling, she headed south, landing a job as a beach greeter at the Boca Beach Club in 2011. After a few years at the beach, she made the move to Lucca, working her way up to the position of head hostess/supervisor. Last year, she became an assistant manager at Serendipity. Despite the added responsibilities she now has as an assistant manager of both Serendipity and Morimoto, she still finds time to share days full of sunshine and fun with her two sons.
Lucca Loves
Tomatoes! Lovely, lush tomatoes are the cornerstone of southern Italian cuisine and now that the peak of the tomato season has arrived, it’s time to celebrate. Throughout August, Chef Adam Pile and his team invite you to enjoy a variety of dishes and cocktails inspired by this bountiful harvest.

Michael joined the team at the Resort & Club as a front desk agent in 2014. Earlier this year, he was named an assistant manager for Morimoto and Serendipity. In his new role, Michael enjoys giving Members as well as guests exceptional service. “I believe the Boca Raton Resort & Club is truly unique,” he says. “It’s not only its history, it’s the people – from Members and guests to employees.” Michael’s goal in his new position is to help people create memorable experiences and to make a positive impact through his hospitality.
