Case study
Naomi Beach Villa
Naomi Villa is a five star hotel situated in the southern border of Sri Lanka, awarded
as the best of its category by the president, several times.
Naomi Villa has 5 categories of rooms namely Standard, Superior, Deluxe, Suits and
Penthouses. All five categories are offered in either of two types Garden View or
Ocean View. Standard, Superior and Deluxe categories can be ordered in any of
three bed sizes, known as King best suited for couples, Queen suited for Singles,
or Twins which is two separate single beds for travel partners. Suits have King
and Twin Set size beds where Penthouses can only be ordered with King size
beds. Room bed configuration and the view are native to the room and cannot be
changed as desired. The five different room categories are priced at a variation, but
within a category, the price remains the same regardless of the bed type and size or
view.
Naomi Villa has several types of Clients, collectively known as Guests. A Guest
can be either Direct who booked the hotel directly, repeat who has visited
another hotel before or Agent who booked through third party travel agents.
Different client types are offered rooms at different prices.
Customers willing to make a stay in the hotel must first make an inquiry, inquiries
are recorded for further follow up and promotional purposes. After the inquiry,
customer can make an advance payment, which makes the inquiry a confirmed
booking. While making a booking, the customer has to specify the preferred room
type, view, bed size, stay period, etc.
Clients are also free to select one of any of the three meal plans during reservation.
The meal plans include BB where breakfast is included in the room bill, HB
where breakfast and Dinner is included and FB where all three meals are included.
Upon arrival, the Guest card is filled, and filed for the duration of stay, and archived
after the departure of the client. If the client visits the hotel again, the information
in the archived guest card is used to create a reservation for the new stay. Guest
card collects the Customer Name(s), Birthday(s), ID Number(s), Address(s) and
Phone Number(s). After the registration, the customer is escorted into his/her room.
Naomi villa has a selection of restaurants, bars, sports, tour and healthcare
treatment facilities which the guests can enjoy during his/her stay. Each facility
requires a prior booking, for example, a customer can book a romantic dinner for
two, at the special roof top restaurant named temptations and request for jasmine
scented candles. Charges for such utilization are credited to the customers room
account which the Guest can pay during his Check-out either by cash or credit
card.
