La Cabana All Suite Beach Resort in Aruba 
ORANJESTAD, Aruba (July 10, 2001) � La Cabana All Suite Beach Resort in Aruba has named veteran hotelier Lou Roelofsen as the new general manager of the deluxe property.  He will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the hotel.

Prior to joining La Cabana, Roelofsen spent eight years as the general manager of the Princess Beach Resort & Casino, a Crowne Plaza Resort, in Curacao.

Roelofsen, a Curacao native, is no stranger to Aruba.  In the late 1970�s and early 1980�s, he spent time with the Holiday Inn Aruba Beach Resort holding food and beverage manager and duty manager titles.
        

After leaving Aruba, Roelofsen stayed with the Holiday Inn brand and went to work as an innkeeper at the Holiday Inn Paradise Island in The Bahamas in 1982.  Five years later, he was named the general manager of the Holiday Inn Lucaya Beach Resort, Grand Bahamas Island, The Bahamas.
        
Following a two-year stint at this

property, Roelofsen went on to hold general manager positions at the Nassau Beach Resort Club (a luxury property owned and operated by Trusthouse Forte International Hotels), the Ramada South Ocean Golf & Beach Club (where he was responsible for the change from Divi to Ramada) and the Radisson Lucaya Beach Resort � all in The Bahamas.
        
Then, in 1993, he had the occasion to return to Curacao as general manager of the Princess Beach Resort & Casino.  His move to La Cabana in Aruba in 2001 keeps him working within the Dutch Caribbean while offering new challenges and opportunities.
