Moon Palace Resort - Cancun

Today is my last day here in Cancun as I head home in just a few hours.  I arrived on Wednesday, January 23rd and have been busy for the last 4 days managing a group of over 1400 people as they attended their annual company meeting.  Here's a bit about what onsite management involves:

• Welcoming guests as they arrive
• Directing them to our private check-in area and then to the welcome food and beverage
• Answering questions regarding transfers, agendas, excursions, etc.
• Assisting with special requests (wheelchair , flight changes, etc.)
• Arranging for food and beverage to be set up on time for meetings and seminars
• Directing guests to the right rooms for their classes
• Problem solving and being available for any issues that may arise
• Checking, double checking, triple checking all room assignments, flights, transfers, etc and making any necessary changes
• Keeping on top of all events and activities to be sure that each of these has the correct food, bar set up, beverages, tables and chairs, etc. 
• Being on hand to ensure that all guests needs are taken care of
• Assisting guests as they depart
• Managing flight cancellations, transfers, room check out issues, etc.

The guests are all gone now and I was able to spend some time exploring this beautiful resort.  All I can say is this is a fabulous place to spend a vacation.  Here are some pictures from my time here:

we had to bring it inside b/c of the wind, but they did a great job making it look beautiful.
