Service excellence lies at the core of Belmonte’s work in the industry, and this will remain his chief focus at his new assignment. Under his leadership, guests coming to the island paradise are assured of a warm welcome and a comfortably enjoyable stay.

Belmonte said: “Giving the best that we can in terms of effort, service quality, the overall quality of amenities and products offered on the property is, in my opinion, the key for any hotel’s or resort’s success. By doing so, we make a stay or vacation a memorable one for our guests by creating memories, which encourages them to tell everyone they know about the Heart of Station Zero.”

A career rooted in excellent service

Belmonte’s career in hospitality began in the food and beverage sector, where he managed several Michelin-star restaurants. This was a journey that took him from The Connaught in London, to various Michelin-starred establishments in France and Germany.
