The Inaugural Sandals Ultimate Team Member of the Year Award

Last week, I was really excited to attend and participate in an incredible ceremony at Sandals Grande Ocho Rios, where I handed out the first ever Ultimate Team Member of the Year Award to Patricia Bucknor-Cox, Arts and Crafts Assistant at Beaches Boscobel. This award recognizes the person who—out of 10,000 hard-working, talented and dedicated Sandals, Beaches, Royal Plantation and Grand Pineapple Beach Resorts employees across the Caribbean—really possesses all of the qualities and characteristics of our ideal team members. And that’s an unbelievable achievement!
 

I am absolutely convinced that it is because of our group’s hospitality, spirit and commitment to excellence that our resorts continue to win the industry’s most prestigious awards year after year. That’s why we like to take every opportunity possible to pay tribute to these outstanding individuals. Over the past several months, we’ve recognized twenty of our most deserving employees as winners of their resorts’ Prestige Team Member Awards. Proudly, these exceptional individuals were the nominees for our First Annual “Ultimate Team Member of the Year” Award.
 

Patricia Bucknor-Cox represents everything that makes the Sandals and Beaches family so well-known and so well respected by our guests, by our industry peers and by travel agents like you. She really fills us with pride. Once again, I’d like to take this opportunity to offer my congratulations to Patricia Bucknor-Cox, the Sandals Ultimate Team Member of the Year!
 

Everyone loves “Auntie Pat”! It was an honor for me to present her with the Sandals Ultimate Team Member of the Year Award.
