Overview
VIPs and repeat guests notice the details. This course, built from the Dyafa Hotels & Resorts training deck, shows how exceptional service comes from preparation, accuracy and thoughtful attention, not from exaggeration.
You will follow five steps: Prepare, Recognize, Personalize, Protect and Follow up. You will learn how to get ready before arrival, deliver service across three stages of the stay, welcome guests personally and discreetly, handle preferences responsibly and know when to call your supervisor.

Frequently asked questions
What are the five steps in this course?
Prepare, Recognize, Personalize, Protect and Follow up.
Should I greet a repeat guest by name?
Yes, if the name is confirmed and appropriate. Welcome them warmly, then let the guest choose the level of interaction, and never ask about past visits in front of others.
Can I promise a VIP an upgrade or gift?
No. Do not offer a gift or compensation without authority, and do not promise a privilege or exception before approval; ask your supervisor.
