Each day is different and joyful. The guests are always happy with understanding. The problem I have is that the hotel is grossly undervalued in terms of guest demand for services and the room prices paid.

Pros

Duty meals.

Cons

Understaffing.

Take your selfie, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube pic / video and leave

Assistant Manager (Former Employee) - Hayman Island QLD - 29 December 2022

30+ new hires every fortnight usually unskilled backpackers with limited English and poor work ethic.Management is clueless and is very into their cliques.Full of Gen Z’s, who get offended or triggered by everything and spend more time bit ching or gossiping than doing any work.5* Prices but 1* service. Couldn’t get any work done as I spent 8 hours a day dealing with complaints.Management don’t care about solving guests problems just throw some money at them to make them go away.No long term experienced staff just ones who can read a job ad.Charged for 3 meals a day whether you eat them or not.

Pros

Scenery/ Location

Cons

Everything

Beautiful hotel but has issues

Although this hotel is gorgeous, and you will gain experience and learn. They treat the workers just like they a disposable machines. They may replace you whenever they feel.

Pros

50% of the food/bev and 50% off for friends with you

Cons

Hard work, treated like a disposable machine

Operational Duty Manager (Pre Opening) (Current Employee) - Sydney NSW - 5 April 2020

IHG is the best hotel group I've ever worked for. They focus on colleague development and there's always room to grow. They invest a lot in training materials to ensure enough knowledge is being given to the team.
