Manager for a Day

A little Owner learns what it’s like to run a resort.

 
Sharron Du and Welly Fu from Dalian, China, have been Club Points Owners since 2012. After staying at Anantara Vacation Club Phuket Mai Khao, their 8-year-old son, Nemo, became fascinated with Hotel Management and has since been dreaming of one day working for the Anantara brand.

During the family’s latest visit to Anantara Vacation Club Bophut Koh Samui, Nemo was treated to a day of special surprises as he explored the entire resort with a private behind-the-scenes tour from Mr. Tony, the Villa Operations Executive,
 
 
who took Nemo to every department in the resort to see firsthand how they operate. To cap off the day, Nemo enjoyed a traditional Thai dinner before receiving a special gift from Khun Grape, the resort’s Villa Manager.
 
 
 
Nemo’s Story
Q: What do you like the most about Anantara Vacation Club?
A: Every Anantara is unique. For example, you can be close to the elephants at Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort, and even eat with them and watch them shower. In Phuket you can experience kayaking and at Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort can see the bottom of the big cliff.

Q: Why do you want to work in a hotel?
Anantara has hotels all over the world – if I work here, I can travel around the globe!

Q: What did you do at Anantara Vacation Club Bophut Samui?
I got to see every department of the hotel and learn about it, and even helped clean a room.

 
 
 
Q: What was the most memorable moment to you?
To experience cleaning rooms. It looks like an easy thing to do but when you’re doing it, it is actually very challenging. I was sweating from making the bed.

Q: Which other Anantara Vacation Club destination would you like to experience next?
Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Resorts because I can ride camels there.

His Parent’s Story
Q: In which Anantara Vacation Club destinations have you been to so far?
A: We have stayed at Anantara Vacation Club Mai Khao Phuket, Seminyak Bali and Bophut Koh Samui. We’ve also been to some Club Escapes destinations: Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort, Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort and Oaks on Market Melbourne among others.
 
     
 
  Q: What do you like the most about being an Anantara Vacation Club Owner?
A: All of Anantara Vacation Club’s destinations are located in exotic holiday destinations and we can always follow Anantara’s lead to experience the place, people and culture of each destination. Of course, the comfortable accommodation is of high quality, there are delicious food and beverage options, and we can take the time to feel relaxed and happy!

Q: What was the best moment during this holiday?
A: Koh Samui has always been on our vacation destination checklist and we finally made it there during this year’s Chinese New Year holiday. Our most memorable memory from the stay is when Nemo wore the staff uniform and we watched his dream come true, following Tony to see each of the resort’s departments..
 
     
  When he got back he described every department’s role and responsibilities to us. Hearing from him about “HR”, “Accounting”, “Kitchen”, etc. also made us very excited because this is an experience that he’ll remember forever and is a mark that we’ve helped him learn and grow

Q: What inspired Nemo to be interested in the hotel industry?
He is a very intelligent and bright boy; we see a great future ahead of him. A: A few years ago we stayed in Anantara Vacation Club Mai Khao Phuket which inspired Nemo’s interest in Hotel Management. That time we had a longer holiday than normal and Nemo was especially enjoying the great food and pool every day. He asked us, “If I work here does it mean I can experience all the Anantara hotels?”, that’s when we wrote to Mr. Lyndon Ellis, the General Manager, hoping his wish can come true.


The day we left the resort we were a bit sad, especially for Nemo – he was very sad to leave. Hopefully Nemo will follow his dreams of working in Hotel Management and make it happen.
 
     
 
Q: Where are you planning to travel to next?
A: Next destination is Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Resorts.
