The play

How to work this one.

Why this one

New this summer: 27 keys in nine villas on Reduit Beach, already on Interval's directory, run by the Bay Gardens team.

Likely pressure points

A new product is still finding its rate. Earlier reports gave different opening dates.

What to lead with

Your relationship comes first. The idea to test: a Guaranteed block while it builds a track record.

Who decides

Julia Harripaul: General Manager, Sapphire Sands Villas and Bay Gardens Beach Resort & Spa (public source, April 2026)

Sanovnik Destang: Executive Director, Bay Gardens Resorts (public source, July 2026)

Opening note and meeting plan

Tap a paragraph once to select all of it, then copy.

You know this group. Raise it with Julia Harripaul, who runs both the villas and the Beach Resort.

Meeting plan: ask what has changed since the last review of this account, including new or renovated rooms. If an As-Used allocation already exists, test whether some of it can move to Guaranteed blocks on those rooms, with return provisions by season.

“The new Sapphire Sand property is amazing. I especially love the new Kimichi and Kalloo restaurant, we had the Korean BBQ experience and we left full and well satisfied. I would recommend the hotel to anyone! Another amazing Bay Gardens Property.”

The money

What the resort keeps, week by week.

Public prices on Booking.com for seven nights and two adults, for the lowest refundable room found, with the taxes and fees shown at right. The commission range is our assumption, so ask what the resort really pays. A week that would otherwise sit unsold earns the resort nothing, and that is the real comparison for your program.
