With a large number of properties, guests, and staff to manage, we have developed an efficient and streamlined approach to operations. While much of our communication and management is handled electronically, our dedicated team is always behind the scenes, ensuring everything runs smoothly. We strive to provide the best possible experience for our guests, and while no one is perfect, we are committed to delivering excellent service.
For any inquiries, our office email is available during business hours for administrative matters. To ensure prompt assistance, we have implemented an efficient out-of-hours support system that directly connects guests with the right team members to resolve any urgent issues as quickly as possible. Details will be provided before arrival during the online check-in process.
In the interest of fraud prevention and clear communication, we only discuss bookings and out-of-hours support with the lead guest, who remains responsible for the booking, even if they are not at the property when an issue arises.
