NEW GENERAL MANAGER STARTS AT DIVI LITTLE BAY BEACH RESORT
Divi Resorts today announces the hiring of Gillian Spronk, a veteran of more than twenty years of Caribbean resort management, as the new general manager for its Little Bay, St. Maarten property. She will be responsible for managing all aspects of Divi Little Bay Beach Resort, ranging from daily operations, marketing, supplier relationships and guest services.
A native of Holland, much of her management career has been spent on the island of St. Maarten. Spronk’s people-oriented approach has led to the creation of more efficient customer-reservations systems and staff-development programs at her previous resorts, leading to enhanced guest experiences.
"We are looking forward to having a seasoned St. Maarten hotelier at our Little Bay helm," said E.J. Schanfarber, Divi Resorts president. "Her experience in leveraging the guest-service potential in each staff member will boost both employee and guest satisfaction. Gillian joins Little Bay at the exciting conclusion of our major facilities-renovation projects."
Divi Little Bay began renovation 18 months ago to modernize and beautify its long-time property to a premium level. In addition to complete room renovations, the grounds recently were landscaped with new pathways and plantings and the tennis courts refurbished. The resort also expanded Seabreeze Restaurant, a popular dining venue overlooking Little Bay’s private beach peninsula. Work has started on a new beach bar and grill to be completed later this year.
