Here's how you can develop unforgettable guest activities in resorts using creativity.

To stand out in a busy hotel market, we've got to get creative with what makes us special. First things first, figure out what sets us apart—whether it's our one-of-a-kind theme, top-notch service, or exclusive perks. Then, let's shout about it! Use imaginative marketing to flaunt these strengths and share our story with the world. Make each guest's stay unforgettable by personalizing it with custom packages and thoughtful touches. Team up with local talents—artists, chefs, you name it—to offer guests genuine, local experiences they won't find anywhere else. Keep our finger on the pulse of trends and guest feedback so we can keep evolving and surprising.

The statement emphasizes the importance of understanding guests' preferences in the hospitality industry to provide personalized experiences. Collecting information about guests' interests and reasons for their stay during the booking process is crucial. This data helps tailor activities to suit individual preferences, such as offering private candlelit dinners for couples or organizing adventure treks for thrill-seekers. The focus on listening to guests and adapting accordingly ensures that each guest feels their experience is uniquely designed for them. This approach enhances guest satisfaction and can lead to positive reviews and repeat visits, making it a vital strategy for hospitality businesses.

Your vacation becomes an adventure from the moment you arrive. Picture this: after a seamless check-in, you're escorted to your room only to find a personalized welcome package tailored to your hobbies and interests, whether it's a set of gourmet local treats, a curated reading list of books, or gear for an impromptu beachside yoga session. Throughout your stay, surprise experiences await perhaps a spontaneous invitation to a private sunset cruise, a pop-up cooking class with our executive chef, or a hidden trail leading to a secluded picnic spot. Every turn brings a new, delightful surprise, ensuring your stay is filled with unexpected joys and unforgettable moments.

After working in several locations, Mexico, Panama, and Jamaica, in all resorts, we had options for tailored experiences for Groups, Meetings, and conventions of all sizes from Presidents groups of 25 with their companions to Incentives of over 500 guests and 200 partners and vendors. As a former DOSM and GM for large chains, I always focused on: INFORMATION / CONFIRMATION with the Meeting Planners, Company Leaders, and our friends in the Procurement department, which most times were not taken into account in the late 90s and before 2018. We created dining experiences on remote beaches, full Shows in Desert Canyons in Cabo, or team-building events on Jamaican beaches, and Landmark events in the Panama Canal. We become PARTNERS

To develop unforgettable guest activities in a resort, creativity is key. Start by understanding guests' interests and preferences to tailor experiences that resonate personally. Incorporate local culture and traditions into the activities to offer a unique and authentic experience. Leverage the natural surroundings of the resort to create outdoor adventures that can't be found elsewhere. Finally, always be open to feedback and willing to evolve the activities to ensure they remain fresh and exciting for returning guests.

As mentioned in my comment in #1, working in Brand Resorts in Jamaica, Mexico, and Panama offers you an amazing cultural background to build from the local folklore, cuisine, customs, and history. We would agree that more than 50% of the 3 reasons that your guests are with you are because of your Location, Location, location. Of course, your Team can take credit for another big % of gaining their business, and your services, quality, products, and pricing are the icing on the cake. We used to do SANDBOX Meetings to learn about the clients and then our Team Leaders and Management would gather at our "TODO SE VALE" meetings, all ideas are worth listening to encourage ALL to share a new and disruptive way to personalize their stay

Ao formar parcerias com artes?os, artistas e guias locais, é possível oferecer atividades autênticas e imersivas, como workshops com artes?os ou sess?es de conta??o de histórias com historiadores nativos. Essas experiências n?o só proporcionam uma compreens?o mais profunda da identidade do destino, mas também criam memórias duradouras para os visitantes.

Un voyageur pour affaire ou loisir, lorsqu'il arrive dans votre h?tel, vient à la rencontre d'une autre culture. C'est l'occasion de lui faire découvrir un nouveau monde. Ainsi, il est primordial d'être en partenariat avec des guides touristiques, des centres culturels ou des artisans locaux mais surtout avoir une bonne culture générale. Chaque membre de l'équipe est un JOURNEY AMBASSADOR. Il est possible de faire "voyager" un client dans les 4 coins du pays à partir de l'ambiance musicale, l'art culinaire, les tableaux, les sculptures...

Durant le dernier Championnat d'Afrique d'athlétisme, l'équipe a appris à dire BONJOUR, AUREVOIR, MERCI... aux différentes langues des nationalités qui séjournaient notamment l'Afrique du Sud, l'éthiopie et le Maroc. Pendant 10 jours, nous avons partagé des moments vraiment conviviaux avec nos invités. Nous faisons également des repas à thème avec le BRUNCH "RETOUR AUX SOURCES" durant la période du "NGONDO" (fête culturelle des peuples SAWA)

This is a SUPERPOWER that we as Hospitality Hosts have and is unfortunately underused. One of the most memorable moments for the groups is when you set up a "Surprise Guest or Moment" in the agenda. For a Presidents Group, we had a Star Gazing night. We handed their Certificate of having a STAR registered with their names, showed it to them in the Hotles telescope aided by our local Astronomer, and made a once-in-a-lifetime "Gift" We have had a group of the parents of the C-Suite Execs assist the event and share stories, videos & photos of the Leaders that provided very emotional and memorable times. We located Athletes, Actors, and Musicians who have a special bond, story, or connection with the group with standing ovations Your turn!

After work in Hospitality industry more then a decades, I founded it's very easy to make happy your guest. Need to feel the guest emotions. Rest of the things happened naturally.

O uso de elementos surpresa pode elevar uma experiência de agradável a extraordinária. Pequenos detalhes inesperados, como uma degusta??o de sobremesas durante uma caminhada ou um piquenique em um jardim secreto, demonstram cuidado e aten??o, deixando uma impress?o duradoura nos hóspedes. Esses gestos mostram que o resort se esfor?a para proporcionar momentos especiais e memoráveis.

Some unexpected activities that resorts can do to accommodate surprise for visitor includes: RANDOM POP-UP EVENTS RELATING TO GUESTS; like Beach Parties or yoga session, Live music parties. Surprise cooking classes with mystery ingredients, cultural workshops you didn't even know existed and pop up outdoor movie nights. Inject an element of mystery with impromptu treasure hunts, spontaneous pamperings and covert visits to regional hot-spots. These surprises will make guests feel excited, spontaneous and have an unforgettable time while they are staying.

Here is any easy one every hotel can do…. After a guest checks in, call the room and ask “is everything to your liking?” To proactively tackle potential problems. A client might like more pillows or notice the AC is loud, but wouldn’t call it in and be less than satisfied. By calling them and asking for feedback a huge amount of issues can be solved and increase guest comments and rating of satisfaction!!

In resorts where you can use technology that is integrated into the guests' stay, features such as AR nature trails and VR tours of local attractions help to create memorable experience - for example together with smart rooms becoming sensitive to the guestatics needs. From app-based scavenger hunts with interactive clues to drone photography sessions capturing unique perspectives and smart fitness equipment fueled by virtual trainers. Offer resort app with live-streamed cooking classes, virtual wellness sessions and more tailored activity recommendations. Technology-enabled experiences will provide guests with the latest in cutting-edge stays and an opportunity to create lasting memories.

O texto destaca a importancia da integra??o tecnológica para enriquecer experiências, seja aprimorando atividades tradicionais ou criando novas. Exemplos incluem o uso de realidade aumentada (RA) para tornar passeios históricos mais vivos e a realidade virtual (VR) para simular aventuras extremas de forma segura. Além disso, tecnologias simples, como aplicativos para visitas autoguiadas, podem adicionar interatividade e conveniência, sendo valorizadas pelos hóspedes modernos.

Tech is great, but should be used BEFORE a guest arrives or before a sales call. Know your customer and/or guest BEFORE they arrive or you meet them. Find common ground in an effort to “connect” on human level, if done right, the reset happens by itself = sales and customer satisfaction!!

Developing unforgettable guest activities in resorts hinges on a robust feedback loop. Begin by understanding guest preferences through detailed surveys and data analysis. Utilize this information to craft diverse and creative activities that cater specifically to these preferences. Throughout the guest experience, actively solicit feedback to gauge satisfaction and identify areas for improvement. Adjust activities based on this feedback to continuously enhance guest engagement and ensure memorable experiences. By prioritizing and iterating based on guest input, resorts can foster loyalty and satisfaction among their clientele.

Feedback is one of the most valuable tools any business has. By opening up communication channels between staff, management and guests, the experience for guests and policies and procedures for staff can change dramatically. These change staff performance and efficiency and can make a purely seemless experience for guests. You can’t fix what you don’t know about, so make sure you get to know it!
