Our driver service offers our guests an alternative to driving, allowing them the opportunity to make the most of the club and the chance to over indulge on a Party Night, as well as providing a good deal of flexibility for families who want to do different things at different times.
The Driver role demands a great deal of flexibility and interaction with guests as well as a high level of practical ability, responsibility and awareness. Our Drivers care about our guests: getting to know them, helping mums and dads when trying to load the car up with all the various kit that kids require, and always being engaging and polite. They take pride in their vehicles and are always on hand to assist guests.
Our guest driver service is offered most evenings and operates from 6pm until the club closes, with the busiest times of day being early-evening as guests come down to the club for dinner. As the club closes, the Drivers are one of the last to leave as they return guests to their villas after the evenings events.
In addition to driving our guests, the driving team also provide transportation for the rest of the Peligoni team from our staff accommodations to the club. When not behind the wheel, our Drivers take care of our club vehicles ensuring they are always spotless and in good working order to provide the best possible service for our guests. Other duties include assisting with the preparation of our evening events which might involve moving furniture, rigging up lights and lighting barbeques and carrying out general maintenance and housekeeping tasks to help us keep the club looking its best.
Our Drivers need to be self-motivated, resourceful and proactive, with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to engage well with our guests. They will have a positive, can-do attitude and as a representative of Peligoni, they will be professional, polite and always willing to help.
