The One & Only Ocean Club resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas has named John Conway as general manager.

Conway was formerly senior vice president and general manager of The Cove Atlantis.

He had previously served as senior vice president and general manager of the 1,200-room Royal Towers at Atlantis.

Earlier this month, Kerzner International appointed Cristian Sariego as senior vice president and general manager at The Cove and The Reef at Atlantis.
