How long for Oceana and why did you choose Oceana?

I have worked for Oceana Hotels for around 9 years now.  Whilst on a break from Princess Cruises, I heard about the new Oceana Resort in Bournemouth so decided to apply for a management position and was offered an interview, needless to say I got the job and have not looked back since.

New Year’s Eve – Millennium. It was a great long anticipated night with everyone full of the joys of the festive spirit.
