Logan joins Sandy Lane with more than 20 years of international management experience within some of the world�s leading luxury hotels and resorts.  Most recently, he served for four years as General Manager of Raffles Hotel, Singapore, where he oversaw a staff of 600 and managed the historic, 10-acre property which won numerous accolades under his guidance.  Logan�s previous experience includes management positions at luxury properties throughout the world, with particular focus in Asia and the Americas where he worked for The Peninsula Group and Four Seasons Resorts.  

�Sandy Lane is the premier luxury resort in the Caribbean and I am very pleased to join this stellar team during such an exciting time.  We are just completing a substantial refurbishment of the property and this provides the perfect platform to take Sandy Lane to a new level of excellence.  We have enhanced several key areas of the resort, with refreshed soft furnishings and room fittings.  Guests can also expect to see a completely re-styled décor and cuisine style in Bajan Blue restaurant as well as a new sauna and boutique product line from Paris in our Spa.  We have also undertaken staff re-training exercises resort-wide and will offer new levels of personalized guest service and will  preserve the special charm that has made the property legendary,� says Logan.
