An official of one of Barbados’ leading south coast hotels has reported a satisfactory 2016 performance.
Public Relations Manager with Sandals Barbados, David Hinds stated that during the past year the hotel has been “lucky to have year round occupancy”.
“Not very many hotels I know do that but we were successful even during the summer months to have fairly high occupancy levels. Right now, we are in the 90s and going into tomorrow [Sunday] and onward we are actually going to be fully booked for a few months, so that is really good.”
His comments came during an interview with The Barbados Advocate on the side-lines of Saturday’s Old Year’s Night Gala at the all-inclusive resort. This event was well attended by locals and the resort’s guests who enjoyed a buffet dinner and partied into the New Year.
Hinds further stated that the hotel is pleased with the response from individuals and that they made Sandals Barbados their resort of choice during 2016.
“I just want to say that we could not have done it without Barbados. Barbados sells itself and we are just fortunate to have a Sandals here but Barbados the name is so strong, so when they heard there is a Sandals Barbados our clientele immediately wanted come and see this lovely island and we are really, really proud of the response so far.”
