The Guest Service Representative welcomes guests, completes check-in and check-out, handles requests, provides information about the resort and Waikiki, manages guest accounts, and helps resolve service concerns. Candidates should have strong communication and customer-service skills, a professional appearance, attention to detail, and the ability to remain calm in a busy environment.

The role requires flexibility to work mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Familiarity with hotel systems, cash handling, and basic computer functions is helpful. Candidates are expected to represent the resort warmly, protect guest privacy, work cooperatively with colleagues, and deliver consistent service aligned with Marriott and Westin standards.
