On this occasion, we welcome a group of recently graduated butlers from Cuba, where the land is beautiful, the food is great, but service is simply amazing!

The trainer, Mr. Amer A. Vargas, had the privilege of sharing his time and expertise with the butlers of Melia Buenavista, a very exclusive adults-only property in Cayo Santa Maria, and their counterparts in the soon-to-open Paradisus Cayo Santa Maria. These butlers are known on their properties as Family Concierges and Royal Service Butlers.

To all of you, we wish you passion and energy!

Part of the butler team at Melia Buenavista…

…and the great Family Concierge and Royal Service butlers at Paradisus Cayo Santa Maria

The Institute’s Chairman, Prof. Steven Ferry, and Vice President for Asia, Mr. Budi Prihardjanto, are shown here with some of the 27 graduating professors from De La Salle University in Manila, who were trained to provide butler and superior service training at the College of Saint Benilde School of Hotel, Restaurant and Institution Management. The Philippines is a major source of willing personnel for the world’s hospitality industry, and this is the first time butler and superior service are being offered as subjects to help raise service standards for graduates. Training will be conducted under the aegis of the Institute, and is a terrific force multiplier for the Institute’s curriculum.

We also welcome the Artisans at Solaz Los Cabos in Mexico to our butler family. The resort opened in August of 2018, and the Artisans will provide the most exquisite service to their guests and curate for the most exclusive experiences. Good luck!
