Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Front Desk Receptionist welcomes guests, manages check-ins and check-outs, handles reservations and payments, answers enquiries, and coordinates with other hotel departments to deliver smooth service. Candidates should have excellent communication and organisation skills, a professional appearance, a genuine hospitality mindset, and strong attention to detail. Previous front-office or luxury-hotel experience is beneficial, while knowledge of hotel systems and additional languages may be an advantage. The role requires flexibility to work shifts, weekends and holidays, confidence dealing with guests from different backgrounds, and the ability to remain calm and helpful in a busy environment. Four Seasons expects consistently warm, discreet and personalised service, together with teamwork and respect for the company’s high standards.
