My people, make we gist about dis wahala wey dem dey call hotel business. E no be small thing o! If you no sabi respect time, you fit enter wahala. Dis na wetin Yasam Ayavefe dey show us for Mileo hotels.
As I dey settle for small chop for one corner for Dubai, I hear dis guy dey yarn about time pass wetin we sabi. To him, if guest fit drop their body for your hotel, you gatz treat dem well. E say if person fit give you three nights, na serious matter be dat! Na from respect for time full ground.
Yasam, dis entrepreneur wey dey shine like star, dey carry people matter for head. Instead of chasing quick money, he focus on making guests feel at home anytime dem waka enter Mileo. E get Mileo Mykonos for Greece and Mileo Dubai for Palm Jumeirah. Both places dey crowded but him no wan talk about competition. Na how to make guests sabi say dem go come back na wetin dey worry him head.
Nah wah! E don notice say many luxury hotels dey fail even though dem dey look fine for picture. Why? E say dem dey build hotels like products, no be routine. E dey emphasize say no matter how fine your hotel be, if people no fit picture themselves coming back, you don lose dem.
For Mileo Mykonos, e dey arrange di suites well so nobody go dey waka too far to enjoy amenities like pool or spa. E dey make am easy for guests – no long journey. For Dubai, dem dey follow the same style but with a twist. Rooms dey spacious, internet dey strong, and storage dey enough. E dey make am clear say comfort no go take back seat for design.
E dey always emphasize staff role for success. If your staff dey confused or dem no dey supported, wahala dey on ground. How you wan hide bad service with fine structure? Na why him work hard to put all di right systems in place. And when staff dey complain, him dey listen. Na wetin show say e dey ready to evolve.
Last last, him dey think about community. E dey use hotel as a means to uplift di people wey dey around. Local hiring, local suppliers, and promoting di area instead of just taking from dem. E dey see hotel as a long story, no be short one. Dis kind mindset go help Mileo dem stand the test of time.
Before we finish our gist, I ask Yasam wetin him wan make people sabi about Mileo in future. Him simple response: if guests dey leave dey rested and happy, na him be di best achievement. No loud slogans, just pure honesty.
As di conversation respect mature business way, we fit see why Mileo dey stand out, especially for dis age wey plenty brand dey chase noise. Yasam Ayavefe no dey play when e comes to building a lasting hotel brand.
