Bangkok--28 Jan--ScottAsia
Outrigger Senior Vice President Asia Pacific, Mr Darren Edmonstone, has appointed Mr Leon Pink as General Manager of the Outrigger Koh Samui Resort and Spa, effective immediately.
Outrigger's new property on Koh Samui, the company's second in Thailand, opens on 1 February.
Pink, an Australian national, has 15 years' hotel operations experience. Prior to the Koh Samui appointment, Pink was Resort Manager for over two years at the Outrigger on the Lagoon Fiji, a five-star 254 room property. The Fiji property won an AON Fijian Tourism Excellence Award in 2009 for being the best deluxe property in Fiji.
Before joining Outrigger in 2008, Pink gained extensive experience with the Mantra Group of hotels on Australia's Sunshine Coast, and with resort and city hotels in Australia, Amsterdam and London, where he won the Employee of the Year Award at the Sanderson Hotel, London.
Commenting on the appointment, Edmonstone said: "Leon's excellent frontline tropical holiday resort experience with Outrigger in Fiji gives him the right credentials to establish the new Outrigger Koh Samui Resort and Spa as a holidaymaker's favourite."
From 1 February, the 79-key luxury villa and suite Outrigger Koh Samui Resort and Spa will offer a range of accommodations including pool villas, spacious pool access suites and Beach Deco rooms. Guests will enjoy a full array of services and amenities, including a beachside restaurant, a Navasana Wellness Centre, a fitness centre, three swimming pools, including one absolute beachfront pool, two bars, and a Kids' Club.
