The play

How to work this one.

Why this one

Long on Interval's directory, with 76 rooms. It has a new general manager and a multi-year upgrade with more phases to come.

Likely pressure points

Phases of work affect which rooms are available when. The group has more than one exchange tie through its hotel.

What to lead with

Your relationship comes first. The idea to test: moving some As-Used weeks to Guaranteed as phases finish.

Who decides

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

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

Named in older or thinner sources. Do not use in writing until you confirm:

Joyce Destang: Managing Director, Bay Gardens Resorts (last public source, April 2025)

Opening note and meeting plan

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

You know this account. Meet Julia Harripaul, who started in April, and Sanovnik Destang at group level.

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.

“I liked the resort but there seemed to be a lot of renovations and things breaking down. I wish repair was prioritized vs. overcharging and telling guests they’re not welcomed to certain parts of the property.”

“Lovely stay. Unfortunately, despite emailing hotel the vegetarian/vegan options were poor. A couple of gems.. salad and chick peas, I had to supplement the lack of good quality food from a stall close to the hotel, while meat eaters had plenty of options. Most of the staff were fantastic. A shame…”

“Be aware that the room you book may not be the room you end up staying in. This is a hotel that appears to prioritize deflecting responsibility rather than genuinely caring for its guests. When we arrived, the front desk informed us that our Agoda booking was actually for another hotel called Bay…”

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.
