Nestled on a stunning white sand pristine beach in the Southern part of Phu Quoc Island with 231 sumptuous rooms, suites and villas facing the ocean are spread over different wings.

26

The concept behind JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort & Spa is the brainchild of award-winning architect, Bill Bensley, who conjured an elaborate story of a former university turned 5-star resort.

The property has created its own legend developed around the concept of a mythical academy of 18 learning departments, the Lamarck University, honoring French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck who laid the groundwork for Darwin’s theory of evolution.

The buildings reflect the style of the early 20th

century and embrace the traditions of French colonial architecture. Every detail, down to the decorative elements and staff uniforms, has been carefully considered and crafted by Bensley such as the Phu Quoc Ridgeback, a breed of native dog (the resort’s mascot) represented in many places on the property.

Leather bound books from the beginning of the century such as football trophy displays, monogrammed antique suitcases, carpentry tools, engravings and sketches illustrating the evolution of humanity and other wonders can also be found there.

“In today’s fast evolving times, the biggest challenge is lack of predictability.”

What is your property’s current biggest challenge & how do you manage this challenge in a highly competitive industry?

In today’s fast evolving times, the biggest challenge is lack of predictability. The last 2 years have proved that change is indeed the only constant, and the only reason we have survived, and in-fact remained in the lead is the speed at which we reacted and adapted to the changes.

What makes the hotel really special?

The Power of the People…. it is most definitely every member of my team. People are special and they make Guest Experiences.

What our Guests carry back is memories; not so much the physical features of the Hotel but the interaction with individuals who look after them.

How do you prepare now to remain relevant and in-demand in future?

As we keep up with their changing expectation of our guests, they in return will keep us relevant. It is a partnership of mutual needs, support and understanding.

We kicked off a Spa Membership Program in October 2021 with a SPArty to promote the program, which was a success as we signed up over 20 residents that evening. Our Spa Members pay monthly dues which entitle them to certain treatments every month and discounts on additional treatments and also on spa retail products.

First, as Manager I must lead by example how we must deliver award winning service. The other way is recognizing the Band Members, as we call our staff, when they deliver service beyond expectation…consistently. If a Band Member is mentioned in a review or survey by a guest they serviced, they receive a bonus. We also get audited by a third-party company quarterly and get scored. We then have a meeting to review the score and how we can improve in areas we scored low.

How do you as the manager keep your employees motivated to ensure award winning service is always delivered?

What do you think sets your spa apart from others in your area?

Our signature treatment room called Rhythm & Motion is inspired by music and our signature treatments are only performed in this room. It is a music centric experience that is unique only to Rock Spa & Salon. I also believe our Band Members (Staff) are the most talented Service Providers in our area.

Not just in experience but just as importantly, their desire to give service excellence by delivering amplified service, which is one of our Values. They truly care about our guests.

What is your property’s current biggest challenge & how do you manage this challenge in a highly competitive industry?

The biggest challenge is that locals don’t go out as much anymore. We manage this by making wine deliveries and creating a wine club where members pay per month and pick up their wines hassle-free at The Wine Room, also by simply being creative and bringing up new ideas to the table.

What makes the Restaurant special?

I am the owner who owns and operates The Wine Room, I do the cooking, service, and wines, the special touch is the experience of meeting new people talk about travels,

food, and many other culinary related topics.

How do you prepare now to remain relevant and in-demand in the future?

By bringing new wine pairing ideas to the table, making the experience happen every day at The Wine Room, make guests remember you and your restaurant.

How do you expect the association with Haute Grandeur will benefit your brand in the medium/long run?

Haute Grandeur is known for its standard of excellence in the world of hospitality, and we believe that we share the same vision in the long run of serving the highest quality service and food in our very own original way.

Vasco Bar and Lounge at Artyzen Grand Lapa Macau Our Vasco – Bar and Lounge is named in honour of Vasco da Gama, the Portuguese explorer who set out to do what no man had ever done before – open a trade route from Portugal to the East.

Vasco successfully bridged the East with the West in the Age of Discovery, and now more than 500 years later, Macau epitomises the perfect blend of these two extraordinary cultures.

The signature cocktails on offer at Vasco are each inspired by his voyages to and from the East. In a toast to his travels, we invite you to try Leaving Home, the Cape of Good Hope, Getting to Goa, Gate of Understanding, Asian Fever, Beirao Sling and more. Gate of Understanding is a special blend of Chinese

rice wine and Portuguese Madeira to create a powerful, strong combination of the two countries – all in honour of Macau.

Vasco – Bar and Lounge is an invitingly warm and spacious setting for drinks and light snacks. You may sit around the bar, where you can watch our bartenders in action and listen to stories about Macau’s past or relax in a more intimate corner deeper inside the bar overlooking the streets. Please join us on a guided tour of the route Vasco de Gama.
