She has demonstrated immense creativity and we know she will set the bar high for the rest of our team,” said Fred Findlen, general manager at Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa, in a press note.
Santa brings over 10 years of experience in the hospitality and tourism industry to her new role, seven of which were at Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort and Spa in California.

“Throughout my entire career, I have always loved meeting new people and understanding their goals surrounding a stay,” Santa said in a press release. “Every group is a little different and it is my job to find out how they will get the most out of their resort experience when they choose to book with us. I am incredibly honored and excited to join the amazing team at Hyatt Regency Maui.”
