By: Caribbean Journal Staff - October 28th, 2021

Divi Resorts has named a new general manager for its completely-renovated resort in St Croix.

The Divi Carina Bay Beach Resort and Casino has tapped Dyal Sandhu to the role, joined by a new executive chef, Dennis Giancontiere.

“We are pleased to introduce our new General Manager, Dyal Sandhu,” said Marco Galaverna, President & COO of Divi Resorts. “Since May, he’s been hard at work overseeing the final weeks of training and reopening the resort.”

The resort is slated to transform into an all-inclusive, adults-only property in February 2022, according to the company.

It will also be home to Divi’s new “Oceans” brand.

That will make it the only all-inclusive resort in St Croix.
