The People Behind Your Stay

Four department leads, one shared standard: every wing of the resort should feel as considered as the room you booked.

RV
General Manager

Renata Vaughn

Eleven years in Gulf Coast hospitality, overseeing front desk, housekeeping, and the resort's day-to-day operations.

DO
Culinary Director

Desmond Okafor

Runs the kitchens across all five dining rooms, with a menu philosophy built around Gulf seafood sourced within a day's catch of the coast.

LC
Spa & Wellness Director

Lena Castellano

Oversees the treatment menu and therapist team, with a background in coastal botanical skincare formulation.

TB
Chief Concierge

Tomas Bellamy

Leads the concierge desk — excursions, dinner reservations, and event coordination for guests staying on property.

How We Train

A Team That Reviews Guest Feedback Weekly

Beyond onboarding and annual certifications, department leads meet weekly to walk through recent guest feedback across every part of the resort — a pattern in pool-deck wait times or a repeated note about a dining room gets addressed the same week it's flagged, not at the end of the season.

Work With Our Concierge Team

Book your stay and let our concierge desk help plan the rest, from dinner reservations to a spa afternoon.
