Aspects To Look For In Classification Of Manuel Antonio Hotels

By Dennis Murphy


There are different products and services provided in the hospitality industry. These include, but are not limited to, food service, entertainment, convenience service and luxury. The facilities include lodges, motels, hotels, hostels and bed and breakfast lodgings. Manuel Antonio hotels are classified among themselves. The goal of categorization is to ensure that clients are not overcharged. It also keeps entrepreneurs on toes when it comes to facility maintenance. Here are some of the pointers used to categorize hospitality facilities.

Experts look into the architectural construct of the building housing the facility. They consider the structure and how must of design aspects have been inculcated in the construction. Some architectural buildings act as attractions in themselves. The design must depict structural prowess and artistic aspects. More importantly the structure must be functional and have some curb appeal. Depending on the location of the facility, some hotels are housed in themed buildings, making them more attractive.

The variety of services available in the area, and within the facility is also taken into account. Some facilities provide only bedding services. Others have bedding and food service also incorporated. Housekeeping, Valet and concierge services are also a major contributor to a better rating. Similarly, recreational services are available. They include swimming, spa services and entertainment.

The range of activities which patrons can enjoy while at the facility is important. A hotel in the game reserve with high-end products would attain better classification than a city hotel with basic services. The additional activities for guests include sporting activities such as swimming, a gym or fitness parlor. Also game drives, spas and massage parlors and salons can attract better classification.

The food served at the facility is also a major contributor to classification. The menu must have food items from the local area as well as some select items of international or national significance. For world class classification, a facility must be able to produce international dishes for its clients. The facility must sell the local area as a destination, in addition to selling itself.

The capacity of the building is also taken into consideration. Some facilities have multiple restaurants within the same management. They also have different categories of room types. The differentiation is to be able to allow high-end clients to achieve their desired level of attention, privacy and customized services.

Another critical point to consider is the service delivery process. A good facility must be able to deliver its services as expected by clients. The idea is to create a positive client experience. Slow service is a downer for classification. In addition the method and equipment used to deliver the service are significant. Train staff members to deliver services swiftly and with perfection.

Hotel classification is important for both entrepreneurs and hospitality facility patrons. It helps business people to know how they can arrange for improvement. Also, having a better rating, according to national and international standards, acts as a marketing strategy. In the same way, it helps visitors to have certain expectations and budget appropriately for their tours abroad. Entrepreneurs must consider improving their service delivery through training, increasing their facilities and tending to them. They must also include additional activities and proper menu planning for guests.
