SL: What do you like best about being General Manager?

JZ: It is a great privilege to be here at the flagship resort and oversee a team of such great individuals and interact with the most loyal Sandals guests. There is not one day that goes by that I am not greeted by one of our many returning guests which is always a pleasure!

SL: What is your most memorable guest story?

JZ: When I managed Beaches Turks & Caicos, a family with 45 family members was vacationing – the great grandmother was 82 years old and with the help of a few of our water sports team members she experienced snorkeling for the first time. It was a sight to see! She absolutely loved it and she told me, “Every day in life you have to learn something new that keeps you young, and every day you don’t learn anything new is a wasted day in life.” From that day forward, I’ve tried to live my own life that way. I never forgot those words.

SL: Do you have a favorite island cocktail or beverage and Caribbean-inspired meal?

JZ: Appleton VX and Coke. I am also a fully trained chef and love to make steamed Red Snapper in foil with okra and zucchini.

SL: We heard there’s a sweet, little café coming to Sandals Montego Bay?

JZ: The rumor is true. We are getting ready to welcome “Café de Paris” pastry shop as the newest eatery addition to the resort!

SL: Sandals Montego Bay is the flagship resort, what’s one way the resort has changed drastically since first opening?

JZ: Sandals Montego Bay, then called Bay Roc Hotel, went from a small hotel with 97 rooms and one restaurant in 1981, to 250 Rooms and six restaurants. The resort still has the charm of a real beachfront resort with the best private beach on the north coast of Jamaica.

SL: What is one special thing your staff members do to ensure that guests will return again?

We have many team members who have been with Sandals Montego Bay for more than 20 Years, so many guests have established relationships with these team members – they are like family to our guests and in turn, that makes our guests family to the flagship.

SL: Are there any special traditions or rituals done as guests arrive or leave the resort?

JZ: We are close to the airport, so if we see a plane taking off, team members will wave to bid our departing guests goodbye. As for our guests who are still at the resort, we encourage couples to share a kiss as the plane takes off! This has been a tradition since the beginning.

SL: What is one thing all guests of Sandals Montego Bay must do before leaving the resort?

JZ: Guests must go on one of our catamaran trips!

SL: If you could describe Sandals Montego Bay in three words, what words would you use?

JZ: Fun. Relaxing. Home.
