Meridian Club Personalities

Our long white beach and crystalline waters are magnificent, but our friendly native staff will leave you with equally indelible memories of your stay at The Meridian Club. They are some of the most genuine, down to earth, people you will ever meet, sincerely interested in making sure you enjoy your visit to the fullest. No pretenses or plastic smiles. You will be treated not so much like customers as friends.

	We are very fortunate to have Beverly Plachta back as our manager. Bev and her husband, Wally, who serves as Club Administrator, have returned to Pine Cay after managing another resort in the island of Nevis. Guests who remember Bev and Wally from their prior service at The Meridian Club, know that they bring something very special to the guest experience. They truly “get” what Pine Cay is all about and will go out of their way to make your stay a memorable one.
	Avianne Adolph heads up a Front Desk team dedicated to ensuring your entire stay is as organized as you want it to be! Smiles and smarts. If you need anything at all, just ask her.
	Kimberley Gordon joined our Guest Services staff in April 2007. She hails from Jamaica. Witty and bright, Kim will make certain your needs are taken care of.
	As sunset approaches, Floyd Forbes, our Head Bartender, will serve you cocktails in the upstairs bar and lounge. He offers a variety of special island drinks in addition to the usual fare. He is in his third decade of service with The Meridian Club and can answer almost any question you may have about our history. You will also see him serving drinks on our sunset cruises and monthly glow-worm trips.
	Our Maitre D', Wesley Handfield, ensures that each meal is a perfect experience. Wesley has also been with us for many years. Each morning, he writes up the menu for the day and can answer any questions you may have about the selections. Guests who have success on a fishing trip can ask him to have the chef specially prepare their catch of the day for dinner, time permitting.
	Each morning, weather permitting, guests enjoy taking our complimentary snorkeling trip to the colorful offshore reef teeming with fish and other sea life. Raymond Campbell, the head of our maintenance department and another three decade employee, will greet you at the dock and either he or one of his team will captain the ship on the short trip to the reef. He also arranges glow-worm outings and other adventures at sea.
	If you love to fish, you must meet J.R. Delancy, our veteran Fishing Guide. J.R.’s knowledge of the waters surrounding the islands is unequalled and he handles all of our bonefishing, reef fishing and deep sea fishing charters. Fishing charters can be arranged at the front desk.
	Vanderlean Taylor, “Lean” for short, is the head of our housekeeping department. If you need anything for your room, ask Lean. If she doesn’t have it, she can usually get it.
	Sherwyn DrePaul is our plant master. When others think that a palm tree has had it's day--Sherwyn makes certain it lives to see another day--he has the magic touch and a smile that will melt your heart!!

These are but a few of the smiling faces you’ll see at the hotel and around the island.
