- Coordinate with Housekeeping to track room readiness and report cleanliness or maintenance issues.
- Review daily reports, group resumes, and guest arrival details to ensure smooth operations.
- Communicate with Front Desk, Housekeeping, and Sales to align room status and guest requests.
- Handle duplicate reservations, market codes, and rate discrepancies, ensuring accuracy in the system.
- Maintain professionalism, clear communication, and confidentiality at all times.
What We need from you:
- At least 1–2 years of experience in Front Office or Reservations, preferably in a luxury or resort environment.
- Strong knowledge of PMS (Opera Cloud or similar) and reservation management processes.
- Excellent attention to detail, organisation, and time management skills.
- Ability to multitask and handle pressure during high occupancy periods.
- Strong communication and coordination skills across departments.
- A positive, proactive attitude and a passion for delivering great guest experiences.
- Fluency in English; additional languages are an advantage.
- Flexibility to work in shifts, including weekends and public holidays.
