Alma Maya Resort uses Cloudbeds automation to build unforgettable guest experiences in the heart of the Mayan Jungle

Alma Maya is a boutique hotel in Riviera Maya, Mexico, where travelers can fully disconnect from the hecticness of the world to reconnect with their inner self, guided through wellness activities. The property believes in maintaining the community footprint among its services and activities to boost the local economy while maintaining a high standard of customer service.

Why it matters: The resort’s accommodations are housed in a selection of “bubble rooms” and geodesic domes, where guests sleep under the stars in the heart of the jungle. Each room features air conditioning, Nespresso Machines, luxury beds, and a private terrace with a jacuzzi and resting net.

Sauveur, Antoine, and Alberto, the three managing partners at Alma Maya Resort, say, “from the very beginning, we loved the idea of an “oasis for the soul”. At Alma Maya, we want people to feel they are returning to their home, a boundary between the earthly and the divine. It is a place where you escape from your reality, returning to the sacred. It is an experience that awakens the soul, an experience of reconnection and healing we want to share with the world.”

Top 3 Core Objectives: The Alma Maya team had a few core objectives when searching for a software provider. First and foremost, they wanted a system that would allow them to execute their guest-centric service and wellness rituals. It was also important that their entire team could learn the system quickly and use it to complete their daily tasks all in one place.

The Alma Maya team: Alma Maya prides itself on having a strong, guest-focused SOP to make sure each guest gets the full experience – from energy cleansing to a Mayan ceremony as a welcome. They wanted a software partner that would support them in maximizing face-to-face time with their guests.
Optimize operations: The Alma Maya team sought an easy-to-use platform that the entire team, from the co-founders to managers and the housekeeping staff, could use to manage their day-to-day operations.
Easy to use: It was important to the Alma Maya team to implement a system that the entire team could learn intuitively and apply quickly. They also wanted to have access to 24/7 customer support when needed.
