We’re looking forward to introducing you to Ramzi Naber. Check out our conversation below.
Ramzi, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
The first 90 minutes of my day start with a double espresso, followed by a complete walk thru of our 570 room hotel, that includes first the back of the house such as the housekeeping department, the kitchen, and engineering. Second, the back of the house, that includes, the food and beverage department, the banquet & Conference space, the sales department, the front desk, the convenience store and pool decks, which includes all public areas. Immediately after, its followed by a line up with all department heads to discuss current & next two days of occupancy and upcoming projects. The next few minutes draws me to my desk for a full review of my emails and scheduled events in my calendar for the day.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
Bonds are broken between people in business such as in real life is the lack of respect, expectations that are unmet, and lack of communication mainly in my view. I am sure there are other factors depending on each situation. In order to restore that bond you need to be a great communicator, must be empathetic, establish realistic expectations ad provide all the tools necessary for your mutual success.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I would say to my younger self is to never be arrogant, you don’t know it all and to keep learning from life experiences and never make the same mistakes twice. Know that you will make lots of mistakes, keep fighting never quit, and know that the day you stop learning is when you take your last breath on earth.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
My partner and friend Ben Cohen, for always striving for success at any age, doing his homework prior to making a decision, and to always being down to earth and empowering.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. When do you feel most at peace?
You are most at peace when you feel loved and appreciate it, also when you get the sense of accomplishment and fluffiness in your heart whether from business or personal accomplishments.
