Divi Resorts has named a new general manager for its Divi Village and Divi Dutch Village hotels in Aruba, the company announced this week.

The hotel company has tapped Ferry Zievinger for the role, which will take effect Sept. 1.

The move comes after Divi recently named a new general manager for its Divi Aruba Phoenix property.

Zievinger’s Caribbean experience includes stints at the Marriott in Curacao and several Sandals properties in the Caribbean.

“I’m looking forward to aligning my 35 years of experience with the company’s vision and pushing this vision to its boundaries,” Zievinger said. “I want to make sure that when someone plans a trip to Aruba, our resorts are always considered first, and that we excel as a hospitality company that’s trusted to create flawless vacation experiences.”
