�Simon has a proven track record of growing market share and revenue while maintaining high levels of guest satisfaction, and I am confident he will assist in taking the resort to the next level,� said General Manager George Landa.  �During his 15 years with Marriott International, Simon has developed a keen knowledge of the brand, and that will be a great asset as we continue to familiarize North American travelers with the abundant activities, rich cultural experiences and natural beauty that the St. Kitts Marriott Resort and the island of St. Kitts have to offer.� 

�I am eager to become involved in the vibrant community here in St. Kitts and am very much looking forward to building upon the high level of service and quality that the St. Kitts Marriott Resort has become known for,� added Mr. Bell.

Prior to joining the St. Kitts Marriott Resort, Mr. Bell served in various capacities at several Marriott properties in his native Australia, including the Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort, the Sydney Marriott Hotel and, most recently, the Brisbane Marriott Hotel where he was director of Sales and Marketing.  Mr. Bell earned a certificate of Hospitality at the Gold Coast Institute of TAFE in Queensland.

The St. Kitts Marriott Resort and The Royal Beach Casino is located in the Frigate Bay area of the island, just a 10 minute drive from the airport and capital city Basseterre.  The resort offers 513 guest rooms and luxurious suites.  A pristine beach, championship golf course and the largest Vegas-style casino in the West Indies help provide an unparalleled vacation experience.  The resort also features a revitalizing spa, meeting facilities, the Pirates of St. Kitts Kids Club program, eight restaurants and two lounges.
