Dear Bellasera Owners: 

Welcome and Bon Giorno!   

We hope this letter finds you all doing well!    The first couple of months of the New Year have been very exciting and busy here at Bellasera.  The owners and our guests are pleased with the condition of the hotel and are looking forward to returning in the very near future.

We continue painting the units and cleaning the carpets, tile, and furniture.  The in-room safes have been installed and we are getting positive feedback from the quests.

We have signed contracts to have the local channels provided through Lodgenet, our in-room movie provider.  In addition, based on guest feed back, we will be adding three business only channels.

We are in the process of being certified “Green” by the state of Florida.  We have one final inspection and expect to be certified by March 1, 2008.

Work continues on the SPA.  Everyone is very excited about the new marketing opportunities being offered to Bellasera from this venture.

We have only a slight change in the management staff this year.  Julie Dell Isola has moved to Diamondhead Beach Resort,  a SunStream managed property on Ft. Myers Beach.  Matilde Puentes joins us to replace her and comes to us from Park Shore Resort.  She is well versed in the needs and owner expectations of a quality property.  Our management team now consists of:

Steven McIntire: General Manager       
Darlene Smith: Assistant General Manager
Kathy Lazure: Guest Services Manager
Wendy Wahl: Owner Services Administrator
Matilde Puentes: Property Controller
James Magee: Executive Housekeeper
Eddie Yado: Chief Maintenance Engineer

Bellasera Condominium Association, Inc.
Our next Board meeting will be held Friday, February 15, 2008 in the Boardroom at Bellasera.

Comment Card surveys continue to provide excellent feedback.  Guests continually praise the staff and the beautiful grounds that surround the hotel.  Here are a few recent guest comments:

• “Very attractive property...”

•  “ZiZi’s staff very nice…”

• “This resort is immaculate…”
