South Africa

The hotel normally hosts South Africans and people from all over the world and the way people relate to one another is amazing alongside the cultural exchanges. It is easy to make pals and as a traveler, I can assure everyone that you will never feel alone here. I recommend the hotel as it is not only advantageous in a sense that you will learn a lot about people and the hospitality environment but it offers a pure sense of belonging, of which is what the brand advocates for.

During their time with us, Irish Palo displayed a remarkable level of professionalism, enthusiasm, and strong teamwork. He quickly became an integral part of our team and created community events, engaging with clients and neighbors.

In terms of marketing, Irish Palo showcased their knowledge in optimizing Google pages, also contributed to meetings, generated fresh strategies, and contributed to the development of marketing campaigns. His strong communication skills and ability to convey messages effectively helped us reach our target audience and increase engagement.

I highly recommend them for any roles or opportunities related to events, marketing, or any other area that requires a motivated and capable individual.
