Scenic Matavai Resort Niue has changes on the way, including a newly appointed general manager and exciting refurbishments.
James Shilton has been appointed the new general manager of Scenic Matavai Resort Niue.
James has a rich background in hospitality, with an extensive career in hotels and resorts.
He was previously with the Mangrove Resort Hotel in Broome, Australia and brings a wealth of experience, a passion for guest experiences, and a strong focus on sustainability.
Scenic Hotel Group general manager of hotel operation Melissa Alexander says the team is thrilled to have James join the Scenic family.
“As part of our ongoing commitment to providing the highest quality experience, James starts his role as we are embarking on a comprehensive refurbishment programme to elevate key areas of the resort to a 4.5-star specification,” she says.
The refurbishment will include enhancing the fit-out of the 20 Superior rooms with updated décor and modern amenities to improve comfort and style.
The public areas will also have a fresh new look.
“We are redesigning the bar, reception, restaurant, retail space, and main entry to create a welcoming and contemporary atmosphere for all our guests,” Melissa says.
The refurbishment is scheduled from January 13 – March 31, 2025, with minimal disruption to guests during the work. Room upgrades will be staggered to ensure most rooms remain available.
Public areas will see more extensive changes between February and March 2025, including some noise and alternative check-in and dining arrangements.
“Our team is working hard to minimise the impact on guests with works taking place between 9am and 4.30pm daily to ensure peaceful mornings and evenings.”
