Aqua-Aston Hospitality, with more than 25 properties in Hawaii, Arizona and Costa Rica, has appointed Amanda Garziano as senior manager, business development for the brand’s condominium hotel and vacation rental operations.
“We see a unique opportunity to continue expanding our Aqua-Aston Hospitality portfolio of professionally managed condo accommodations across the Hawaiian Islands,” said Bob Berges, regional VP, operations, Aqua-Aston Hospitality. “This new position signifies Aqua-Aston Hospitality’s increased investment in our condominium hotel and vacation rental program, and Garziano’s long-standing tenure at the brand and impressive background in owner services are truly invaluable for this role.”
In this new role, Garziano is responsible for recruiting property owners to Aqua-Aston Hospitality’s and sister company Maui Condo & Home’s rental programs. She works closely with property owner service representatives and GMs across the brand’s portfolio to achieve acquisition goals and maintain relationships with owners, real estate businesses and realtors through incentive programs. Garziano is tasked with conducting in-depth research and providing strategic insight into achieving short- and long-term sales revenue objectives. She also helps lead the program’s promotional material development, alongside the sales, marketing and communication teams.
Garziano brings 19 years of experience to her senior leadership title, as well as a diversified background in owner relations, hotel operations, revenue management, marketing strategy and positioning. Having held numerous positions with the company since 2004—at Aston Paki Maui, Aston at Papakea Resort and Aston Maui Kaanapali Villas—she has developed an in-depth understanding of the company and what it takes to help grow the condominium hotel and vacation rental program, it reports. In her most recent post as operations manager at Aston Maui Kaanapali Villas, she grew the property’s rental program numbers for more than five years despite industry-wide challenges related to the pandemic and other market conditions.
