Jamaica’s Half Moon, A Rock Resort, has named Sandro Fabris its new general manager.

Fabris comes to the hotel with more than two decades of experience, including serving as regional managing director for Africa for Orient Express Hotels.

“Hospitality is foundational to Jamaican culture, so delivering authentic, high quality service to our guests at Half Moon is easy,” Fabris said in a statement. “Our guests come on holiday to discover the local traditions, culture and gastronomy; and they come to Half Moon not for formality, but for a carefree and relaxing experience where the local-based staff are passionate, excited and eager to share the beauty of their country with Half Moon’s guests.”

Fabris is expected to begin his tenure at the 400-room Montego Bay-area resort in the middle of this month.

“For more than 60 years Half Moon has offered guests an authentically Jamaican retreat where our service standards and product offerings reflect the best in both Jamaica and the Caribbean,” said Guy Steuart, chairman of Half Moon Bay, Ltd. “We are truly honored to have Sandro join our team and believe his experience will continue to enhance Half Moon’s appeal amongst our loyal and new guests alike.”
