As Lodge Manager, my focus was to ensure the guests received 5* service while feeling relaxed and entertained in a homey environment. I was able to expand my skillset by learning how to fix generators, pool pump, vehicles and setting up plumbing for chalets and irrigation. I designed numerous fixed fittings and furniture of the lodge such as the pool bar, pool lounges, couches, tables and chairs. I also designed the beach deck and did an environmental study of the area to ensure an eco-friendly construction. I successfully attained a Category C Skippers ticket and learned Portugues. In a year and a half of Lodge management, received near perfect trip advisor reviews in all aspects of the lodge. Show less
