Speaking to Team Mangalorean, B N Girish -the Vice President of Ocean Pearl corporate said, “Since hotel industry is patronized by people of all religion and faiths, we decided to invite the religious heads from three different faiths to bless and inaugurate our new hotel this morning. At Ocean Pearl, we treat every customer equally irrespective of caste or religion, and that has been our motto since our existence. Ocean Pearl Inn is a dream that came to fruition to satisfy the loyal clientele of our already existing hotel, The Ocean Pearl, at Kodialbail. With the launching of this prestigious and up-class hotel, we will satisfy the needs of our beloved customers. We are happy to note that Ocean Pearl has been a destination for 100% hospitality and courteousness- and we have received accolades from all quarters”.
“Our hotels don’t believe in star grading, because having a 5 or 4 star doesn’t serve customer satisfaction- the only reason Ocean Pearl corporate doesn’t care about looking for a 5 or 4 star standard is only for the fact when we switch to Star standard, then our customer have to shell out more money on taxes, and we don’t want to follow the rules and regulations once you get hooked on to Star category. But we have all the best facilities and standards like those of 4 or 5-star hotels, so our customers don’t feel any difference, whether they stay at a star hotel or stay at any one of our properties. We are happy and our customers are happy as what we are now, without a 3 or 4 or 5 star- we are satisfied when our clients are satisfied, without a STAR” added B N Girish.
Executive Chef at Hotel Ocean Pearl Inn, Bamba speaking to Team Mangalorean said, “I have been in the hotel industry in India and also in South Africa, Italy and few other countries since decades. I started as an Ocean Pearl Corporate Chef at Hotel Ocean Pearl at Kodialbail, Mangaluru in 2010, and now I will be managing the Pan Asian restaurant for few months until everything is in completely to the standards. We have around 45-50 staff working in the kitchen/restaurant, and Executive Sous- chef Arun Giri, who has vast culinary experience being with Mahindra Group of Hotels, will be at the helm of Indian, Continental etc cuisine.
