Divi Hires General Manager for St. Maarten Resort

Chapel Hill, NC (July 18, 2008) - Divi Resorts today announced the hiring of Kyle Dudley as general manager for its Little Bay, St. Maarten property. Dudley comes from Ontario, Canada where he most recently served as general manager of the Walper Terrace hotel in Kitchener.

Dudley will be responsible for managing all aspects of the Little Bay resort as well as interaction with food and beverage outlets and working with the resort's marketing department to enhance local marketing efforts and island relations.

Dudley's previous experience includes managing sales, reservations, conference services and revenue for Delta Whistler Resort in British Columbia, and as director of sales and marketing for Delta and Marriott hotels in Ontario and British Columbia. He has nearly 15 years in the hospitality industry.

"We are looking forward to having someone with Kyle's extensive background in management and marketing at Little Bay," said E.J. Schanfarber, Divi Resorts president. "His enthusiasm and energy as well as his hands-on management approach are just what we were looking for. It's an exciting time for him to take the helm at Little Bay as we complete our major renovations."

Come December, all of the deluxe oceanfront suites will be renovated, with 75 percent thus far completed. To accommodate the growing demand for vacation ownership at Little Bay, the resort converted its hillside casita units into nine luxury one-bedroom suites and one 1,900 square-foot three-bedroom premium suite. 36 beachfront hotel rooms were converted into 12 one-bedroom and four two-bedroom oceanfront suites. The resort's main restaurant, Toucan's Café, will be redesigned by this fall.

Divi Little Bay was voted one of the top "Bang For Your Buck" resorts and "Best Family Vacation Resorts" in Caribbean Travel & Life's Best of the Caribbean Readers' Choice Awards 2007.
