We love when we have repeat guests; for the business they bring us, of course, for the great company that they are and, most importantly, for the endorsement and assurance that we are doing something right for them. After all, every guest brings their business, but not every guest returns.
In appreciation for repeat business we have given discounts, gifts and even value-added service. Every now and then, our guests say a very special thank you for our service, even before they ever plan to return. So it was with Andrew Muscato and Brett Mayfield, independent film makers who were referred, by the way, by repeat guest, author and sports journalist, Richard Moore. Andrew and Brett were so appreciative of the assistance we gave in contacting and hosting interviewees here at Neita's Nest for their NBC documentary that on their last day they gifted us with a beautiful, blooming bromeliad.
But here is the real story....
Andrew returned the following year with another film maker, Isaac and by then, the bromeliad plant that he had given us had sent out new plants, one of which was with a beautiful pink torch-like bloom to welcome them.
And, it does not end there...
This week, four new shoots, in full bloom, were brought in from our green house to say bon voyage to our week-long, repeat guests, UK professors Martin and Lindsay! We do not have a booking from Brett and Andrew at this time, but these blooms last about 4 months. so we are keeping our eyes open for them. From our correspondence, we know that they would love to return to Jamaica soon "hopefully, just for relaxation!"
Till then, we will enjoy their gift that keeps giving, we will keep some on the verandah to welcome our guests, give one to a friend, and we will remember Bret and Andrew wherever in the world they are making more documentaries.
