By Sherri Balefsky Hanson

Where are you from?

I was born in Caracas, Venezuela.

Describe your role at The Mansions. As Food and Beverage Manager, I oversee the grill, the butler team, and breakfast operations.

How does The Mansions at Acqualina’s F&B program compare to other residential properties?

Having worked in many luxury properties, I can honestly say that The Mansions’ food and beverage program is the most comprehensive! For example, we serve breakfast every day in our grand salon with pastries, fruits, cured meats, and more. We also have The Grill, open Friday through Sunday, emphasizing fresh ingredients and seasonal fare. We also work closely with brand ambassadors from various wine and spirits companies and offer monthly masterclasses and tastings.

How do you ensure you are always exceeding guest expectations?

We are fortunate to have incredible, engaging residents. During our conversations, we learn their preferences and act on them. Luxury service is anticipatory, and Acqualina provides us with the tools to make our residents feel truly special.

If you moved into The Mansions at Acqualina, where would you most likely be found among the luxurious amenities?

I’d be using the F1 driving simulator. I am considering one for my house!

What is the best part about working at Acqualina?

The people here make it a joy to be part of the team. Acqualina has always been the gold standard in South Florida, and it is easy to see why.
