Key Challenges

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.

Duve’s Solution

Duve provided a comprehensive platform featuring digital check-in, a guest app, and enhanced communication tools, all customized to meet the unique operational needs of Leonardo Crystal Cove Hotel & Spa.

Technology may not always be in our favor, but with Duve, we can use it smartly to enhance our guests’ experience.
