What Does a Resort Concierge Actually do in an All Inclusive Resort?

Many resorts and hotels direct their guests to the concierge for information, assistance, and other tasks. Sometimes the resort concierge is so frequently mentioned that it may seem like they do absolutely everything. Therefore it begs the question, what does a concierge do?

Keep reading to discover exactly what is involved in being a resort concierge and what these exemplary members of staff can do for you during your stay in an All Inclusive resort.

What is a resort concierge?

The original concierges were the french castle wardens in the mid 16th century. These were people that took care of the premises and provided the owner and guests with everything that they needed. In slightly more modern terms we might call such an individual a caretaker. 

Since then concierge services have developed into a hotel and resort specialization where an individual is put in charge of the premises and works as a liaison to other departments making them the ideal person to help customers out with any questions or assistance in any given situation. 

Resort concierges are team players but often they are one of the primary factors that are essential to the success of the resort's service and functionality. 

The secrets to a good resort concierge

Being a resort concierge is not an easy task. Instead of being part of just one department a good concierge needs to be familiar with all parts of the resort and will likely have multiple things going on at the same time meaning that they need to be great multitaskers. 

Obviously, a large part of their work has to do with tailored customer service and satisfaction. It is definitely also important that they have a friendly and approachable demeanor and are polite and respectful to others. 

Quite often these hard workers are the ones that are tasked with unique and new situations. Whatever the occurrence or need at hand, the concierge takes care of it by being a great problem solver and going above and beyond to work out the best solution to any situation.

Additionally, their work involves a lot of administrative work behind the scenes when they are not talking to guests. For this, they need to be extremely organized and detail orientated so that the guest can have the optimum experience during their stay.

Lastly, a great concierge makes good use of modern technology. This is their biggest advantage and something that can assist them to attain swift communication with their guests and other departments and examine finer details within the resort that can make a guest's stay much more enjoyable.
