Dear Colleague(s)

C

onstant renewal, vision and dynamics have been the hallmark of our business since its inception, leading to outstanding achievements. In the past three years we have grown 56 percent by establishing properties in different parts of the Riviera Maya and abroad. This can all be attributed to a joint effort and resolve on the company’s part. Our vision and drive have led us to the successful inaugurations in Croatia of Sensimar Makarska in May and Adriatic Beach Resort, by Karisma, in July, just in time for the 2015 summer high season. This same kind of persistence led Azul Fives Hotel and El Dorado Maroma, a Beachfront Resort, by Karisma to obtain the prestigious AAA 4-Diamond Award.

Furthermore, our passion for innovation has led us to create the NickelodeonTM Experience in partnership with Viacom International Media Networks, the creator of the famous NickelodeonTM channel. As a result of the success of this partnership, we have begun to build the first international NickelodeonTM Hotel, in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic! It will open in 2016, and we will later begin construction of yet another NickelodeonTM Hotel in Mexico. We are also projecting growth in Jamaica, with 1,200 hotel-rooms within the next five years.

By 2020, our goal is to establish another 30 properties in new destinations such as Brazil, Italy, Spain, Turkey and Greece. A wide range of opportunities are opening up for the company, and to all the employees who decide to take on these challenges at national and international levels, such as when the great team including RoomsDivision, F&B, SPA, Information Technologies and Finance staff, among others, decided to travel to Croatia to support the opening of Adriatic Beach Resort and Sensimar Makarska, by Karisma.

A major challenge in the face of such growth is to simultaneously maintain our company quality standards and our unity. Our teams around the world need excellent coordination to leverage their shared knowledge and talent so that it will enable us to keep delighting our guests with new and memorable experiences, and continue to earn the respect of the hospitality industry.

Let’s all do this TOGETHER!

It’s a special sensation that you’ll feel when becoming aware of Mother Earth in the Temazcal. I use the herbs that the ancient Mayans used for this traditional steam bath: basil, rue and rosemary” describes José Luis Prieto, Shaman at El Dorado Seaside Suites, by Karisma.

The Temazcal represents the womb of a mother. By tradition it is linked to the sense of “purification”. Inside the Temazcal it is dark and therefore the Mesoamerican people linked it with “Tezcatlipoca”, the Aztec god associated with the smoke coming from the coals that heat the stones of the Temazcal.

“The Mayans believed that the way to heal body, mind, spirit and emotions was through the Temazcal.

Beginners are sometimes taken aback when we first enter the darkness, but as Shaman, I try to lead them without fear to achieving detoxification, hydration of the body and an experience that frees the mind” says José Luis. This ritual works on four aspects: Detachment from physical life, forgiveness, pampering the inner child and gratitude.

Not everyone will be able to have the opportunity to live out an experience like this. For example, people with chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, migraine or suffering from claustrophobia, circulation problems and other ailments should avoid it. We suggest you consult your doctor before trying this service. Once inside, participants need to be aware of themselves, if they feel any discomfort they may ask to withdraw from the Temazcal.

If not the case, he’ll be able to enjoy one of Mexico’s most traditional Mayan ancestral experiences of inner discovery and healing.

Currently the ritual of Temazcal is available for guests of El Dorado Casitas Royale, El Dorado Seaside Suites, and Generations Riviera Maya, by Karisma, in the exquisite facilities of Naay Spa.

NickelodeonTM Hotels facilities are spacious and relaxing enough to accommodate all types of families in a comfortable and luxurious retreat.

WE SAID IT AND WE DID IT … ¡THE GROUNDBREAKING!

We said it and we did it! The Groundbreaking It was not long after this announcement, last June 3rd that Mr. Rafael Feliz, CEO of Karisma Hotels & Resorts, accompanied by executives of Viacom International Media Networks, Juan Acosta, Executive Vice President / COO and Gerald Raines, Senior Vice President, Global Nickelodeon Recreation Partnerships, began the construction of NickelodeonTM Hotel in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

Banreservas, Enrique Ramirez.

The NickelodeonTM Hotels are the second service concept developed by both parties of society, and is a consequence of the success of the first joint product, the NickelodeonTM Experience in Azul Hotels, which had its debut on the 8th and 9th of July at Azul Beach Hotel, and Azul Sensatori Hotel, by Karisma in Riviera Maya.

Great launching of Nickelodeon™ Experience

J

uly 8th, 19:00 hrs., on the Roof Garden of Azul Sensatori Mexico, by Karisma, we feel an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation. The reflection of camera flashes highlighted the “made of joy” multicolored drinks waiters had topping their trays, scurrying around through the crowd. Mr. Mandy Chomat, Karisma’s Vice President of Marketing and Sales, was on stage, excited and ready to share details on how this adventure with NickelodeonTM began.

GREAT

“Karisma is a company of people who love to dream, and we were wondering, ‘how can we create a better experience for our younger guests?’ So in December 2013 we made a pretty unusual call to someone from Viacom Inc. We were fortunate enough to have a man answer the phone, who, like us, has big dreams and believes in great opportunities. His name is Gerald Raines ... He picked up the receiver and listened to what we had to say. I told him that he couldn’t possibly properly understand what we were talking about unless he came to our hotels and experienced what our guests from all over the world experience, and thus understand the concept of Gourmet Inclusive® ... So he did come, saw what our vision was all about, and agreed to give us the great opportunity to launch this first NickelodeonTM Experience, at Azul Hotels.

Gerald, on behalf of all our staff, thank you for this.”

OF THE EXCLUSIVE NICKELODEONTM EXPERIENCE IN AZUL HOTELS, BY KARISMA

Mandy Chomat excitedly thanked the people who “have made this a reality: Rosalinda, Oscar and Grecia, and the person who was instrumental in following through on this project to bring it to fruition, Rafael Feliz Jr.” to whom he passed the microphone. With cheerful modesty, Rafael Feliz Jr., Premiere Worldwide Marketing Corporate Brand Manager, helped Mandy Chomat down and kept joking around with him as he took the stage.

“I had to help him down ... As Mandy said, we have been working on this project for a year and a half and we are finally

here. Indeed, we completed the journey to become the industry’s best family-focused program ... and as my friend Gerald said: ‘We have achieved it! We succeeded, friends!’”

Rafael Feliz Jr. thanked everyone for being there, asked for a big round of applause for the team and handed the floor over to Mr. Gerald Raines, Senior Vice President, Global Nickelodeon Recreation Partnerships, who, with a big smile on his face, took the stage.

“Thanks for inviting us ... and for having the boldness to call me.

Fortunately I happened to be in the office that day. I must say that during all my travels I have stayed in many hotels, I have seen many opportunities and looked at many new directions for NickelodeonTM. When Mandy called me, and spoke so highly of Karisma and their standard of service, as well as their commitment to excellence, I immediately planned my visit here. And when I arrived I was pleasantly surprised to find that everything I had read and heard about was all true. To all who have been here before, you know what I mean ... the food is exquisite, the service is excellent. Let me tell you why I had such good vibes about Karisma, because they are the ‘crème de la crème’ of hotel chains and NickelodeonTM only partners with the best.”

Raines thanked the Karisma team for believing in this project, and for bringing to life the NickelodeonTM characters and allowing guests to interact with their favorite animated personalities. Finally, Chomat, Raines and Feliz Jr. proceeded to the ribbon cutting.

THE EXPERIENCE After the excitement of the launch, on July 9th it was time to live the NickelodeonTM Experience. Starting with breakfast at 8:00 am in Restaurant Zavaz, our favorite characters, Dora, Boots, SpongeBob and Patrick danced, hung around and took pictures with each of the attendees, youngsters and older ones alike.

After breakfast, it was time for a site inspection of the premises at Azul Beach Hotel, by Karisma, so that travel agents, media and special guests, could find out all about the NickelodeonTM Experience.

The guests were welcomed by SpongeBob and our sales team, and with violin music in the background, they began their journey through to Scoop, the SpongeBob ice cream shop. The next stop was a visit to Azulitos Kids Club, a visit to the NickelodeonTM Store, and to then they returned to the lobby, where Michelangelo (Ninja Turtle) was waiting for some final travel event photo opportunities.

SLIMING, PIZZA PARTY AND ORANGE CARPET That same afternoon, from 3:00 pm at the Splash Park in Azul Sensatori Mexico, by Karisma, everyone got to see an example of a “Sliming” experience.

Then, about 7:00 pm, located in the same resort, the Pizza Dude Restaurant waited for them with open arms, offering up their delicious stone oven pizzas which were served on original “trash can lid” shaped trays à la Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We even enjoyed the iconic ‘pepperoni pizza’, a favorite of Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael!

No one could wait for the grand finale, the Orange Carpet event! Everybody returned to their childhood days for a night of meeting and greeting and taking pictures with everyone’s favorite characters. But the show didn’t end there. After the procession of the characters along the Orange Carpet guests joined the animated figures in a fun choreographic experience. Brilliant necklaces were distributed to the participants, which helped highlight the bright and peculiar Nickelodeon Experience orange atmosphere.

ON THE COVER OF TRAVEL AGENT MAGAZINE

O

n July 6th Karisma Hotels & Resorts was featured in the prestigious Travel Agent Magazine as a cover story.

The 5-page report begins with a full-page picture of two of our founders, Mr. Rafael Feliz and Mr. Lubo Krstajic, and leads to an interview where the overwhelming success enjoyed by our company is discussed.

Karisma on The cover

“The partnership includes plans to debut NickelodeonTM Hotels in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic in late 2016. A second NickelodeonTM Hotel will begin construction in Mexico shortly after the Grand Opening in Punta Cana. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.”

Karisma on The cover

Throughout the article they reveal some of the secrets of this success, including the Karisma Gourmet Inclusive® Experience, our strategic alliances, and our great relationship with travel agents. The role of Mr. Armando “Mandy” Chomat, VP Sales and Marketing, and his contribution to the evolution of our company is also highlighted.

Similarly, interviewees shared a little about the Karisma 2020 development plan. Our company visualizes introducing 30 new hotels to the market, over a period of five years. By the winter season of 2016, we are scheduled to open approximately 2,300 rooms.

The author begins by describing the growth plans for the Nickelodeon Hotels brand The partnership includes plans to debut Nickelodeon Hotels in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic in late 2016. A second Nickelodeon Hotel will begin construction in Mexico shortly after the Grand Opening in Punta Cana. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.”

According to the data in this article, our company has grown 56% over the past three years. Included in this was the introduction of Generations Resorts brand, by Karisma, Allure Hotels, by Karisma, and Karisma Hotels Adriatic, which is becoming the strongest driver of the Adriatic region’s economy since the opening of Sensimar Makarska and Adriatic Beach Resort, by Karisma. By the summer of 2017 it is expected we will have a total of 5,000 rooms at this destination.

He continues to report on the expansion plans to other regions. “After the properties in Dominican Republic and Mexico are up and running, Feliz and Krstajic share with us that their plan is to expand Nickelodeon Hotels to Central and South America with destinations such as Brasil; Cartagena, Colombia; and Panama (which is being widely discussed). Nickelodeon Hotels, will also expand to Europe ... in destinations like Sardinia, Italia; Espain; Antalya o Bodrum, Turkey; y a Greece.”

At this point Mr. Rafael Feliz reflects upon how it was that they arrived at the concept of Nickelodeon Hotels “Having reached an agreement with them about bringing the Nickelodeon Experience a Azul Hotels, we really learned a lot about their company, their brand and their characters.

They too learned a lot about us and our Gourmet Inclusive®.

So both our companies started looking at establishing a closer relationship. It is a perfect partnership.”

Subsequently, the article shifts its focus to the growth in Jamaica, and refers to a comment from Rafael Feliz Jr. that he had obtained in a previous interview. “Rafael Feliz Jr., Corporate Brand Manager of Premier Worldwide Marketing, exclusive sales and marketing representative for Karisma Hotels & Resorts, said early this year that Karisma plans to open a 100-room boutique hotel next to the current Azul Sensatori Jamaica, by Karisma.”

That announcement was overshadowed by a statement of Mr. Rafael Feliz (Senior), who announced some first-time news that will be of great interest to our travel agents: “We are in the process of securing land for a development in Jamaica that will total 1,200 rooms,” which is planned to include all brands of Karisma and although he cannot ensure that it will be a Nickelodeon Hotel, at the very least the Nickelodeon Experience will be offered.

“I really think Jamaica is a great destination,” said Mr. Krstajic, noting that our company has had a great experience with their workers and with the Jamaican authorities. “We felt welcomed there, so it’s time to grow in Jamaica.” The complex, it was revealed, will be “somewhere between Montego Bay and Ocho Rios.” It will begin in the third or fourth quarter of 2016 and is projected to be completed in 2 years.

About the new sales tools for travel agents, Mr. Feliz and Mr. Krstajic introduced our new Sales and Marketing portal for Travel Agents, providing easy access to resources and incentives for our agents, such as maps, site inspections, tools for social media and digital solutions, reservation tracking, exclusive promotions, award certificates, a learning center with training modules, Diamond Certification system status displays, and direct contact with the sales managers among many other advantages.

The report closes with recognition by Feliz y Krstajic a Mandy Chomat, highlighting the influence he has had on the growth and evolution of the company since his arrival in 2007. It was he who was instrumental in adding new properties to our portfolio, the expansion of our brand to Jamaica, and our alliance with Kendall Jackson which has allowed us to host the successful Jackson Family Wines Culinary Series.”The very first time we spoke with Mandy, he gave us a strong first impression.

We loved how he believes in agents and travel agencies, and we knew that was the way we could grow our brands,” says Mr. Krstajic. “Mandy began immediately to associate our brand with other strong brands in the market. He understood branding and co-branding very well.” Professionalism, leadership, a sense of humor and great humanitarian qualities round out Mr. Chomat’s other outstanding great virtues.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES

PEOPLESOFT IN JAMAICA

T

he final phase on the implementation of People Soft in Azul Sensatori Jamaica, by Karisma started on the past April 20th.

The hotel that has been added to the company’s portfolio, takes advantage of this system that allows handling global financial processes, besides from offering a better visibility on the business’ essential information. As a part of the implementation plan, we started by inviting all Executive Committee and Administration users to participate in our starting up meeting, leaded by Mr. Rolando Miravete, General Manager, and Eduardo Medina, General Comptroller of Azul Sensatori Jamaica.The training phase taught the users People Soft’s functionalities and each module’s integration, allowing them to have access to the trial system. Once the users mastered the environment, they proceeded to capture the work documents directly to the system.

To this day, there are 23 users with access to the business unit for Azul Sensatori Jamaica, and even closed their first balance sheet on May!

new service for the customer has been settled since the past February, the -In Room Entertainment - Smart TV. Its principal function is the Internet access using the functionalities and apps, such as Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Netflix, Vudu, among others, that are already embedded on the Smart TV, and that will offer the guest a new experience that will ease their stay. It seems important to point that a fee will be applied for this service. For the moment this service will be available in Generations Riviera Maya and Azul Fives Hotel, by Karisma. On a second phase, the service will be offered in all other resorts, once they implement the necessary network infrastructure.

The activation is really simple, the guest should just dial from their room phone and they will have immediate access to this service. There are 3 packs for now, just as shown on the tend-card’s images that will be placed on each room that counts on this service.

Earthcheck visits El Dorado Maroma, a Beachfront Resort, by Karisma

EARTHCHECK VISITS EL DORADO MAROMA, A BEACHFRONT RESORT,

BY KARISMA

By: David Ortegón

W

e wish to congratulate all El Dorado Maroma, a Beachfront Resort, by Karisma team for the optimal implementation on the Programa Earthcheck, as well as all those who work daily on these activities on all the properties. Thanks all for their “Pasión por la Sustentabilidad” (“Passion for Sustaintability”) today we have a real impact on our local communities that allows us to keep on being a business both Responsible and Sustainable.

The Earthcheck Program is one of the most well-known sustainability programs across the world. Settled in 1987, it operates in more than 70 countries, along with business, communities, and governments on the development of the Most Sustainable Touristic Destinations.

It works since 2014 in collaboration with Mexico’s Tourism Secretary, certifying hotels that respect the Good Environmental Practices and Business Management.

On May, Earthcheck visited El Dorado Maroma, a Beachfront Resort,

by Karisma hotel to audit the implementation of the Sustainability Practices on the hotel’s daily operation. This evaluation was not only important for the hotel, but to all properties owned by Karisma Hotels & Resorts located in Riviera Maya, as their certification relied on the obtained results.

During two days, the auditors toured all the property’s areas, the documents and registers were revised, and 34 collaborators from different sectors were interviewed and explained with their own words their everyday duties to use the business’ resources on the best possible way.

El Dorado Maroma stood out on 3 key points that we want to share with all our collaborators, accredited as “Good Practices”, and who go further than what other hotels do for their Environmental and Corporate Social Responsibility programs.

Conservation and Adoption of Marine Turtles program: All our properties count with an adoption program for marine turtles in which the guest and collaborator can donate to support the conservation of marine turtles in the camps located at El Dorado Royale, a Spa Resort, El Dorado Seaside Suites and Azul Sensatori México, by Karisma.

Working alongside local Communities: We have included the Pitahí jams for our guests’ breakfasts in all our properties. These jams are elaborated by women Mayan Community in Chumpón, at the Quintana Roo state. We support and help moving forward this microbusiness that elaborates high quality local products while preserving their lifestyle.

Recycling Makes Sense Program: A project proposed by a collaborator is selected in every property to support a health, education, leisure, or social development necessity for one of the members of his family or community. The money to finance these projects has its source on the recycling of plastic and aluminum that every collaborator brings from their houses with a support from the hotel.

Through this program, we execute the company’s Values and we learn the value of the recycling to solve the necessities of our co-workers.

LISTEN WITH THE HEART

T

hanks to Recycling Makes Sense Program, with the project named “Knowing the world through other senses, listen with the heart”, we delivered hearing aids to the 15 years old Katia María Naranjos González, daughter of Diana González Rodríguez, collaborator at the El Dorado Maroma, a Beachfront Resort,

by Karisma.

Diana González Rodríguez was born in Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Quintana Roo and has spent approximatively two years working as a Bar Waitress. Her daughter Katia suffers

from hypoacusis on her ears since she was 6 years old, which was causing her mother a deep concern.

When she heard about the Recycling Makes Sense Program, she did not doubt on asking the support her daughter needed, recovering the faith on her daughter’s hearing improvement.

If you want to have further information on this program or participate, contact your hotel’s Sustainability Coordinator.

ince April we have started the Internal Communication campaign Komunica Hoy (Kommunicate Today) with the aim for all our collaborators to be aware of our business and the services we provide, giving us the tools we need to promote nonpackage sales.

The campaign consist on a daily diffusion shared by e-mail and broadcasted by short video clips on the employee’s canteens, and its included on the daily, but mostly it is shared by General Managers and members of the Executive and Operations Committees during their briefings.

The campaign started in Jamaica and Colombia (in Cartagena de Indias) on July with specific messages for those locations.

A DAY ON… THE PHONE DEPARTMENT

DAY ON THE PHONE

DEPARTAMENT I

t is very common for our guests during their stays to dial 0 to solve doubts, and it is perfectly normal, who does not dial the operator every time a doubt comes to mind, or requires any room service? That is why the phone department is one of the main arteries of information inside the hotel.

Our Phone department co-workers work patiently and with passion and joy for providing service. They are constantly in touch with the Room Division department to offer an excellent service. The need of giving the guests an immediate and satisfactory answer makes that our colleagues in the Phone department must know everything around, from the ingredients of a specific dish to how the Jacuzzi or the remote control work.

To have an optimal function, the duties are divided according to the working timetable. The on night guard is in charge of the exact schedule of next day activities, in order to achieve an excellent day for the guest, being in charge of the wake up calls or the timetables for the Bell-boy to pick up the baggage. This requires great organization skills.

Among others, telephone operators´ main tasks are to follow up complaints, provide weather information, take orders, help in case of emergencies, make courtesy calls on check-in and check-out, ask guests if they had any inconveniences, find out if there is something they can be offered before departure and if their stay was comfortable, and finally asking them to leave their comments on TripAdvisor.

Their biggest challenges come when emergencies happen. When the guest has an emergency, the first step is to call the operator. That is the reason why our telephones team must be prepared to deal with any situation. This is a hot department. The phone team at Azul Sensatori Mexico, by Karisma, shared that they were struggling with colleagues´ curiosity. When a complicated situation occurred, colleagues from other areas were used to call in the middle of the crisis asking what was happening, blocking the lines, thus reducing their responsiveness. They had asked all the staff not involved with the contingencies´ solution to avoid saturating phone lines and radio channels. Co-workers understood the request and now they have a better emergency culture.

We can consider the Phone department as a seedbed for talent, due to their information management and the knowledge they must develop on the hotel’s services, as well as the coordination they require to develop among co-workers from other areas to satisfy the guests’ needs.

It is not just about answering phones with a perfect English and a warm pitch, it is about being one of the main contact with guests, which will largely impact on their experience in our hotels and resorts. That is the reason for us to recognize and thank our Phone department colleagues for their great work.

WAITRESS AT DORADO SEASIDE SUITES, BY KARISMA

H

ow did I get to El Dorado Seaside Suites?

Well, just asking is there any waitress vacancy?

The Security Officer in the entry said no, and I immediately answered that I just had been told there was one, and that I already had the experience since I had worked at the Dorado Hotels. So he let me in.

My surprise came when I was interviewed by the Human Resources lady.

-I know you, she told me.

-Yes, I answered, from El Dorado Royale.

-Of course, Guadalupe, you have got the job Since my goal was to be part of the hotel, I was so happy when she sent me to the next interview and she marked in my application form “worked at Casitas”.

I passed to the second interview, the housekeeper who worked there back then told me –You have enough experience, you worked at Casitas, you are hired.

I did not imagine I would find familiar faces as Mr. Sagrero, Mr. Wilbert, some concierge girls, but the biggest shock was finding Ms. Paula Negrete. I felt like home and since then I work and live as if I was home, and meet my guests as if they were home. I take care of them with love and kindness, because this is how I really live my job. My mom used to say “if you are going to do things, do them all right or do not do them at all.”

This is forged in my mind and it is one of the values I like the most, besides from honesty, loyalty, and keeping a positive attitude.

The passion for our jobs and what we do are values we bring from home. Things must not be said, but done and lived. Things can be told to you endlessly but, how do you live them? One can go through life without making any difference; you must make sense.

My mission here is to achieve that guests acknowledge this hotel as one of the best they have ever visited, and therefore, recommend us.

My goal has always been to appear on TripAdvisor’s comments and until now, I have managed to, so I can give my two cents to the hotel that has given everything to me. I tried for supervisor but then I discovered that my thing is to provide that service I like, and I do it with passion. I like the guests to leave with a unique experience they will always remember.

When a coworker really gives everything from himself and gest promoted, I swear I love it because one must be where he really wants to, and I am sure this is my place to be.

With love: Guadalupe.
