This Aruba Resort Has a New Executive Chef

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - April 6, 2021

The Divi Aruba Phoenix resort has named a new executive chef, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The resort has tapped Colombian native Jhon Jairo to the role. 

“I come from a large family in the Colombia coffee region and I started cooking at a very young age in my family’s restaurant,” said Vargas. “From there, my love and passion for food grew and over the years I developed my skill and established a unique cooking style with Colombian roots.”

Vargas says diners at the resort can expect “fresh flavors and colorful creations” at the Divi Aruba Phoenix’s three different eateries. 

“Each of my dishes is made with love and I hold myself and my team to the highest health and safety standards,” he said.
