If Pullman Resort Al Marjan Island were a movie, this would be the moment the music swells, the camera zooms in, and the hero steps forward — because Manas Lal just got promoted, and honestly, we love a good career glow-up.
The resort has officially crowned Manas as its new Hotel Manager, recognising the leadership magic, operational finesse, and “I’ve-got-this” energy he’s been bringing to the place. And let’s be real — anyone who can keep a resort running smoothly during busy weekends, renovation phases, and waves of excited holidaymakers deserves a standing ovation… and perhaps a lifetime supply of coffee.
Leading the Big Picture (and All the Small Ones Too)
In his shiny new role, Manas will be steering the resort’s strategic direction — think service excellence, razor-sharp team development, and making Pullman the top pick for both leisure lovers and business travellers. No pressure, right?
With the resort’s recent renovation wrapped up, Manas is now overseeing all those refreshed spaces and upgraded facilities. Translation: ensuring every guest walks in thinking “wow” and checks out thinking “when can I come back?”
Four Years, One Big Impact
Manas has been part of the Pullman family for four impactful years, most recently killing it as Director of Operations. He’s helped elevate service standards, streamline operations, and boost guest satisfaction like a hospitality superhero.
With years of experience across renowned brands in the UAE and India, he brings a powerhouse mix of hotel management wisdom, quality assurance know-how, and revenue-enhancement instincts. Basically — the guy’s got range.
Leadership That Makes an Impression
Cluster General Manager Evan Harrington summed it up perfectly: “Manas has consistently gone beyond the expected, combining sharp commercial acumen with a genuine passion for hospitality and guest experience. His leadership comes at a pivotal moment for Ras Al Khaimah and for our resort, and I am confident he will help unlock a new chapter of growth and innovation as we showcase our enhanced, post-renovation offerings on Al Marjan Island.”
We love a boss who notices good talent.
A Leader With Heart
Sharing his appreciation, Manas said: “It is a privilege to take on this role and continue serving a property that I hold in high regard. I look forward to building on our achievements and introducing the renewed Pullman experience to both returning and future guests.”
A wholesome quote from a wholesome professional. Approved.
What’s Next for Pullman Resort Al Marjan Island?
With Manas at the helm, expect the resort to continue levelling up with:
- Even more memorable guest experiences
- Stronger team culture and service delivery excellence
- A bold operational vision aligned with its fresh new look
- Elevated presence on Al Marjan Island — because this resort didn’t just renovate… it reinvented
If this promotion were a dish at Pullman’s restaurant, it would be served with a Michelin-star flourish, sprinkled with ambition, and garnished with a twist of “watch this space.”
Here’s to the next chapter — and to Manas leading it with flair, focus, and that Pullman charm guests know and love.
