Am I being too friendly....?

From the moment they step through the door your bookings become guests, and their experiences determine whether they ever come back.

To be fair, my wife Diana does nearly all of that difficult front of house stuff. I prefer to lurk in the shrubbery smeared in woad and howl at the full moon with the dogs.

However, I am responsible for pool maintenance and guests will often kindly volunteer their life histories whilst I'm trying to concentrate on the early morning cleaning ritual. Sometimes, I'll imagine myself to be a Baywatch six-pack man but then a guest will say 'do you know Jim, you're a dead ringer for that Bill Oddie bloke'.

Susan, yes I loved that History of Nearly Everything book. Cool.

(Is it only us wimmin who do the meet and greets!?)
I think in the main it seems to be...for some strange reason...but is it because we all deal with the bookings & build up the relaitionship?

Mr mouse is useless over email...very short & to the point, and he has a sense of humour that doesn't always come across :roll: where as I try and build up a relaitionship gently.

But I leave him to do the tour of the villa & explanations...he's much better than I am. Also if the party is a group of younger people he greets those as I think as a man they respect his authority more (I might be wrong - but its worked out OK so far)

He always does the wave offs...cos he can keep them amused whilst waiting for their taxi (always a sad time)...and anyway - I'm usually still in bed :oops:

BTW - with younger spanish we always use first names, older generation would probably be Senor/senora and ask permission to call them by their first names....strange as we wouldn't do that with UK guests
