Objectives:
Carlsbad Seapointe Resort is a beautiful, Gold Crown resort in a wonderful location – a perfect Southern California beach getaway for our Owners. My goal is to maintain and build on the strength of the resort, and ensure excellence on all fronts.
I will maintain a strong focus on the financial health of the resort to keep our maintenance fees low and keep expenses in check. I am also committed to ensuring our Owners continue to value Seapointe as their home away from home and enjoy the amenities and top notch service they have come to expect, and should receive. This extends to our associates, who are the heart and soul of our resort, by providing them a competitive wage and ensuring their continuing development.
My personal goal has always been to LISTEN closely to the voice of our owners and keep Seapointe thriving as a first class resort! Thank you in advance for your support.
