FROM FARM TO FORK: Sandals is Energizing a Forever Food Cycle in the Caribbean

The glow of a Caribbean morning reflects off the sea in one direction and off the breakfast table in another. The fruit of Saint Lucia is on display at Sandals Regency La Toc, sweet and colorful enough to wake up guests before the first coffee is poured. Mangos. Papayas. Pineapples. Bananas. In a few hours, at Sandals Montego Bay in Jamaica, the scent of jerk chicken will waft over the pool at lunchtime, and in Grenada the island’s spices will call attention to a dessert tray.

SANDALS ROYAL BAHAMIAN

Hey, hey, hey! Haad go? (That’s Bahamian for, how’s it going?) People usually respond by saying, “right cha,” which simply translates to, “I’m right here, chilling.” Anyway, that was a little Bahamian bite for y’all, but let’s get back to BUZZness … See what I did there?

Sandals Royal Bahamian has been quite busy.

EASTER RAFFLE

One thing about us in the 242, we’re very “thingsy”, meaning we like the good stuff! The Island Vibes Sports & Social Club hosted an Easter Raffle for team members who had a ball. Who wouldn’t? After all, they were raffling the likes of TVs, air fryers, microwaves and many other cool, cool prizes. How uncanny is it that one butler, Eric Gordon, picked his own name from the pile, walking away with a brand new Samsung Galaxy tab? Things that make you go, hmmm! The club’s president, Giles Williamson, shared that the support from the team was overwhelming. The team members are eagerly anticipating what’s next for the Island Vibes crew.

Under the leadership of General Manager, Adrian Whitehead, the team has been on a relentless quest to up the engagement ante, and from the look of things and feedback from guests and staff alike, the hard work is paying off.

Let’s take a quick look at some of the things the SRB team has been up to.

CELEBRATING EARTH DAY

In an effort to forge ahead with the mission of the Sandals Foundation to invest in our planet, the team at Sandals Royal Bahamian joined hands and hearts to plant close to 50 trees on Earth Day. A group of more than 20 volunteers including guests and staff journeyed to Garvin Tynes Primary School on the island, to plant fruit-bearing trees that were donated by the Gladstone Road Agricultural Centre and the Tall Pines Constituency. Since it was also Autism Awareness Month, the team planted the trees just outside the school’s Autism Centre so that the children can eat of its fruits when the time is ripe…ha! That’s very punny! But jokes aside, it was a beautiful day and the volunteers, students and teachers were a bunch of happy campers.

CANTEEN TAKEOVER

This activity was implemented at the start of the year where each month a different group of managers are required to come up with a theme, menu, dress code and do an overhaul of the operations of the staff cafeteria. Now, the latest was under a Bahamian theme. Yeah, I know it sounds like much thought didn’t go into it because that’s the territory but I can show you better than I can tell you because the team went all out. The activity was well received and has sent tongues wagging until this very day. Which day are you reading this? Yeah man, they’re talking about it still. The team invited the nation’s singing Bishop, a popular artiste and staple in the Bahamas, to the festivity, much to the delight of the team members who were enamored by his performance. Take a look at the clip and see for yourself, just how engaged the team members of Sandals Royal Bahamian were during the resort’s latest canteen takeover.

DANCING WITH BRANDON GONZAGUE

Using the art-form of dance to express himself from the tender age of 10, Brandon Gonzague loves being part of the Entertainment team at Sandals Halcyon Beach. “I love having a job that allows me to pursue my passion and hone my skills on a daily basis.”

If you’re wondering just what type of dancing Brandon does, you would be amazed at the number of genres he can perform -- African (both modern and traditional), Salsa, Mariachi, Contemporary, Cultural and his favourite, Hip Hop. He is also skilled in acrobatics and gymnastics which he teaches.

His love for the art has led him to win competitions with his dance group ‘Fundamentals’ in 2014 and 2016.

When asked what is his favourite thing about being a professional entertainer at Sandals, Brandon says, “being in entertainment spans a lot more than just being a dancer. I get to learn a lot more in the field but I truly enjoy the fact that I can use my talent to impact people, to entertain them, to make them feel good, to make them smile.”

“I get to be me,” he expressed.

NEGRIL REGION

Food is a global celebration of experiences and emotions. It far transcends the boundaries of culinary sensibilities. Besides its primary role of sustaining our lives, food is also a great source of comfort, especially after physically- and/or mentally-taxing undertakings – like our day-today jobs. With this as well as the goal of connecting our team on a fundamental level in mind, we asked our team members to share a bit about the food(s) that comforts them after a long day at work.

Ashlyn Munroe, Epix Professional Imaging Supervisor at Sandals Emerald Bay, quotes Oprah Winfrey – “I believe the choice to become a mother is the choice to become one of the greatest spiritual teachers there is.”

In Ashlyn’s words…

The journey of motherhood has proven to be simply amazing. My second princess, Ramiya Ferguson, arrived on February 1, 2023. Being blessed with two daughters is simply incredible, and I wholeheartedly believe family is the foundation of life.

The love and joy that Rashae and Ramiya Ferguson has encircled my heart with is unmatched and nothing can change this wonderful feeling. My life goal is to guide, protect, and direct their paths; ensuring they understand nothing is impossible or unreachable.

SHELDON JAMES A passion for hospitality

The Oxford Dictionary describes the word hospitality as: “The friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers”. And if by hindsight the authors were to post photographs to accompany this definition, there then would probably be an image of Sheldon James because the newly minted Sandals Royal Plantation Hotel Manager is a man with a passion for hospitality.

His cool and calm demeanor is merely a mask for the zeal and dedication that course through his veins as he seeks to raise the standard of the industry in which he has spent well more than two decades. The funny thing is, however, James’ life could have taken a much different turn as his initial yearning was for a career in aviation.

Thankfully, aviation’s loss has been the hospitality industry and more importantly, Sandals’ gain.

“Before my advent into the Sandals family, I had a stint at Air Jamaica which I really loved,” notes James, a whisp of a smile on his face as the memories of a bygone era come flooding back. But it quickly disappears, and he is all business once again. “I was happy to be a part of the Air Jamaica experience with our late chairman, Gordon ‘Butch’ Stewart,” he sighs. “Mr. Stewart really did some innovative and inspirational work and transformed the airline industry at the time. It’s a pity it had to end.”

When the government regained Air Jamaica, however, it was time for James to move on. Then Sandals came a calling and the dapper hotel manager outlines that it was a natural transition based on the service level he had been exposed to at Air Jamaica. “I love dealing with people. Hospitality is my nature and is in my blood, so taking the step was not hard. I was battlehardened and ready for the next phase of my growth and development.”

Sheldon James’ love for hospitality resulted in his Sandals journey starting in 2008 at Sandals Royal Caribbean under the watchful eyes and tutelage of the then-General Manager, Leighton Josephs, where he debuted as Director of Guest Services. “I chose Sandals because of the company’s solid reputation for delivering a high level of service within the industry, and since hospitality is my passion, guest services seemed the obvious choice to make,” James notes, his voice rising as he remembers his early years within Sandals and the start of a journey that has now catapulted him smack into the ranks of resort upper management.

HM SPOTLIGHT

After cutting his teeth and being “properly Sandalized” at Sandals Royal Caribbean, James transferred to Sandals Ocho Rios to work under the wings of the formidable Brian Roper who was general manager at the time. He describes his tenure at Sandals Ocho Rios as being extremely important in his growth as Roper was a great teacher who pushed him to the limit, allowing him to see his true potential.

Being the director of guest services for such a large property allowed James to tackle a myriad of guest complaints and kudos, improving his hospitality and problem-solving skills. Ready for his next challenge, it was back to Montego Bay where the flagship property, Sandals Montego Bay, and its indefatigable leader Joseph Zellner beckoned. So impressive was his stint at the first-ever Sandals resort that he caught the eye of Sandals Resorts International and his nomadic journey continued as he was promoted to the post of Hotel Manager at the boutique property, Grand Pineapple.

Of his various postings within the company, James has this to say. “I really learned a lot from all those leaders mentioned during my formative years in Sandals and each in their own way helped tremendously with my growth and development.”

The value of spending time at a small boutique hotel is not lost on James. At Grand Pineapple, he had to be involved in every facet of the hotel’s operation which added to his management repertoire and prepared him for the rest of the journey that was to come. Now a seasoned campaigner, his next stop was a return to Sandals Royal Caribbean, but this time as a vastly experienced Executive Assistant Manager. This was where James really cemented himself as a prime-time hotelier, spending eleven years at

the resort and leaving an indelible mark on the team.

James has established a reputation for being a team player, possessing an uncanny ability to bond with both managers and line team members alike. At Sandals Royal Caribbean, he had the awesome responsibility of overseeing the offshore island with its vaunted overwater suites and bungalows which boasted a much more demanding clientele that expected the highest level of hospitality. His work ethic and calm personality, even under difficult circumstances, endeared him to the team, and when his promotion to Hotel Manager was announced, it came with many bells and whistles.

November 2022 was a watershed period for James when he was promoted and packaged off to his current posting as Hotel Manager at

Sandals Royal Plantation, a smaller property but one with a world-class reputation for delivering a high level of hospitality to a loyal clientele.

“Sandals Royal Plantation is a fantastic boutique resort with amazing team members, and great leadership in the form of General Manager Arnold Nugent,” James says, taking a sip of water and issuing advice to a server. This man’s roving eyes never miss a beat as the happiness of his guests and staff is his primary motivation. “I just want to help add value to where I am at right now.”

James describes his Sandals journey as being “unbelievable”.

“We have amazing team members and what I look forward to in coming to work is seeing persons who started out in the Hospitality Training Programme now really blossoming into supervisory and management roles. Knowing that I have assisted in their growth and motivation gives me a special feeling.” He praises Sandals for having a programme that allows for growth and development among its cadre of employees.”

What is it that sets Sandals apart from the competition? “The approach to making the guests have an experience they will never forget and the innovation of always trying to give them more than they expect. It is creating these experiences that set us apart,” James observes.

Known to be a very private person, when he is not on the job James enjoys spending quality time with his family. His children, a son aged 18 and a daughter 10, keep him grounded and are the principal reasons why he pushes himself to the limit daily to succeed.

When not at work, James enjoys anything seafood or curried chicken with nan washed down with cold lemon beer. His other passion is music, and he listens to a wide variety of genres, ranging from conscious reggae and gospel to afro beats.

For Sheldon James, the sky is the limit and his life’s ambition is to continue shooting for the stars in the hospitality firmament and adhering to the Butch Stewart philosophy of “giving the guests more than he or she expects.”
