How Leonardo Crystal Cove Hotel & Spa uses Duve as their window to guests

GUEST EXPERIENCE

Leonardo Crystal Cove Hotel & Spa, a 120-room luxury hotel in Cyprus, embarked on a journey to elevate its guest experience and streamline operations by integrating Duve's innovative technology.

Why it matters: The hotel aimed to enhance guest satisfaction through seamless online check-ins (OCI) and room upgrades.

After assessing several options, Leonardo’s regional General Manager chose Duve as the ideal partner for this transformation.

Top 3 Core Objectives: The hotel faced challenges in standardizing time-consuming manual check-ins and enhancing guest communication with personalized experiences, while initially being skeptical about adopting new technology solutions.

Streamlining the check-in process: With diverse property sizes and varying legal requirements, standardizing the check-in process was challenging. The manual check-in procedures were time-consuming for both staff and guests.
Enhancing guest communications: The hotel aimed to improve communication flows throughout the guest journey, from booking to departure. This included the need to segment guests based on different criteria, such as those staying in higher-standard rooms, to provide tailored and personalized experiences.
Skepticism about new technology: Initially, the Leonardo team was skeptical about onboarding another technology system.
