Role summary

Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.

The Guest Service Representative welcomes guests, completes check-in and check-out, handles reservations and payments, provides information about hotel facilities and Waikiki, and responds professionally to questions or concerns. Candidates should have strong communication and customer-service skills, a friendly and polished manner, basic computer and cash-handling ability, and attention to detail. Previous hotel, front-desk, or guest-service experience is helpful but may not be essential. The role requires flexibility to work mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays, along with the ability to stand for extended periods and remain calm in a busy environment. Successful candidates are expected to represent Marriott and Sheraton standards, protect guest privacy, work well with colleagues, and create a welcoming, memorable stay.
