PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas - A veteran Bahamian
hotelier is the new General Manager of the popular Comfort Suites
Paradise Island resort in the Bahamas.
Earle Bethell, a native of
the Bahamas with almost three decades in hotel management, was recently
appointed by managing partner William Naughton who described the
placement "as an opportunity to elevate the level of service excellence
at the property as it continues an aggressive renovations program."
Bethell's
wealth of hotel industry knowledge was amassed from experience in
positions from the front office and hotel operations to executive level
management.
A dedicated community man, Bethell also served on the
board of the Caribbean Hotel Association, as president of the Bahamas
Hotel Association, director of the Cable Beach Resort Association as
well as the Nassau Paradise Island Promotion Board among many other
professional and civic duties.
"I treasure this opportunity to
lead an already vibrant management team," said Bethell, who previously
served as General Manager of both the Nassau Beach Hotel and Wyndham
Hotel.
Also moving up the corporate ladder at the resort is local Bahamian
Shantillya Sands who has been appointed Director of Sales after 10
years at the neighboring Atlantis Paradise Island resort.
The
Atlantis resort, right next door, remains a major draw, since Comfort
Suites guests can enjoy full use of all their facilities, including
swimming pools, the beach, magnificent waterscapes, Lazy River Ride,
water slides, health spa, tennis, and a kids camp. Comfort Suites guests
also have full signing privileges at Atlantis' restaurants and lounges.
Comfort
Suites Paradise Island is currently completing a US$3 million
refurbishment program, and an intense customer service training agenda.
"We have a new, fresh product which offers one of the greater value
propositions in the Bahamas," Sands said.
The resort recently received TripAdvisor's prestigious 2012 Certificate of Excellence award.
