The company collaborated with Condé Nast Traveller award winning SunSwept Resorts in the development of the Maestro Spa System, which is now fully operational in all three SunSwept Caribbean spa resorts. Jacob Dehan, NORTHWIND founder and president, said the company�s mission for over 30 years has been to provide the �most productive environment� for hotel clients by getting to know their operations, developing state-of-the-art technology to meet their special needs, and providing personalized service. NORTHWIND worked with the SunSwept team for six months to create the Maestro Spa System. �People come to SunSwept Resorts to be personally rejuvenated, and we have an extremely loyal return clientele. For this reason it is mission critical that we know their preferences beforehand and ensure, as much as possible, guests are receiving the services they expect,� said Kevin Snaggs, house and administrative leader at the exclusive BodyHoliday spa at the four-star LeSPORT resort operated by SunSwept Resorts on the island of St. Lucia. �The Maestro system links our guests� activity schedules, spa treatment program appointments, guest history, and amenity requests all on the guest�s record, forever. SunSwept evaluated many systems, and we installed Maestro because it is the strongest in guest management, guest service, and spa scheduling.� Luxury Resorts Pamper Clientele With Speedy Check-Ins, Smooth Operations The Maestro Enterprise Resort Management System streamlines the management of spa, club and golf resorts of every kind. Comprehensive, multi-module resort functionality and single-image database technology increases property revenue by providing complete real-time integration of Activity Scheduling with Front Desk, Sales and Catering, A/R, Guest History, and centralizes client information for quality guest service.

The other courses at Swan Lake, and the resort�s all-inclusive golf package
requirements, are no less challenging. �We are unique because we
sell many different types of United States Golf Academy packages to both
leisure and corporate guests, so it is essential that our system be extremely
flexible,� said Kelly Einspahr, hotel manager for the Swan Lake Resort
and Conference Center. �We evaluated many systems and the Maestro
Enterprise Resort system proved the most complete for Swan Lake Resort
with its complex packages handling and emphasis on guest service.�

of corporate golf groups. �The Maestro Front Office system has streamlined
our check-in and checkout process by 25% and improved guest service.

function room activity is also an asset to our resort.�
