Role summary

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

The Lobby Ambassador welcomes guests, provides directions and resort information, assists with arrivals and departures, and helps create a friendly, polished lobby experience. Candidates should have strong communication and customer-service skills, a professional appearance, basic computer ability, and confidence interacting with guests from diverse backgrounds. Previous hotel, guest-services, or tourism experience is helpful, though an outgoing and reliable attitude may be equally important. The role requires flexibility to work varied shifts, including weekends and holidays, and the ability to stand, walk, and occasionally assist with luggage or other guest needs. Candidates are expected to remain attentive, discreet, courteous, and knowledgeable about the resort and local attractions.
