A Letter from our Assistant General Manager – Ms. Jessica Franken
Dear Judging Committee,
I would like to present to you Igmar Franken, our Manager of the year of La Cabana Beach
Resort and Casino. I know Igmar for over 20 years. An individual that has climbed the stairs
of excellence to reach the stars. With an extensive background in Food & Beverage, Igmar is an
expert in his field. Igmar has been nominated several times for his excellent performance in
the hospitality business. He has been a tutor and guide to many associates of all different
generations.
La Cabana has a lot to offer in the Food & Beverage world whereby our owners and guest have
all they need to not even want to leave the property. Having to manage Breakfast, Lunch,
Dinner, Happy Hours, Events and Banquets seven days a week is like managing a daily
healthy workout. Over the years, Igmar has made many friends with tourists of all over the
world that have visited La Cabana and he is an integral part on their decision to keep coming
back to La Cabana year after year. When you mention Igmar’s name what comes to mind is
a kind, loyal and dedicated person that takes his job at heart. Igmar is a very caring
individual. He is an EMT that is called upon any time we need him. His pleasant and caring
attitude for our guests stands out.
As the Assistant General Manager with over 30 years of service at the prestigious Resort, I
endorse Igmar for his dedication, passion and loyalty over the years. You can count on Igmar.
His associates respect him. He is a fundamental part of our values, believes and purpose. His
enthusiasm and disposition to cater to the hospitality world is awesome. Igmar, I wish you
luck between all nominees. For us you are the best and it is time for more recognition to the
outside world. You are an asset to Aruba’s tourism which is our bread and butter.
You deserve to come back home with the AHATA EXCELLENCE AWARD!!!
