Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Front Desk Agent welcomes guests, manages check-ins and check-outs, handles reservations and payments, responds to requests, and helps resolve concerns while delivering polished, personalised service. Candidates should have strong communication and organisational skills, a professional appearance, attention to detail, and confidence using hotel property-management systems. Previous front-office or luxury-hospitality experience is advantageous, although customer-service experience may be considered. Fluency in English is essential; additional languages are beneficial. The role requires flexibility to work rotating shifts, including nights, weekends and public holidays, along with the ability to remain calm and courteous in a busy environment.
