With a career spanning over two decades, Shannoy attributes his success to his

Hospitality was not Shannoy's initial career choice when he began as a bellhop at
the Jolly Beach Resort and Spa. However, his diligent work ethic quickly earned
recognition, leading him to assume roles such as Guest Assistant, Senior Guest
Assistant/Front Office Supervisor, Night Auditor, and Night Manager over the

Relations Manager at Carlisle Bay, where he has dedicated eighteen years refining
his craft at the property.
Shannoy's exceptional contributions have garnered well-deserved recognition,
exemplified by his nominations at the ABHTA Tourism Gala Awards in categories

illustrious setting of Carlisle Bay, Shannoy has consistently earned accolades,
notably securing the title of Supervisor of the Year and, more recently, achieving
the esteemed recognition of Manager of the Quarter in 2021. Adding to his
impressive journey, in October 2019, Shannoy was personally selected by the
Executive Committee of Carlisle Bay to embark on a transformative experience in
Ireland. Over two months, he underwent comprehensive training and collaborated
with the team at the esteemed Lough Eske Castle. This invaluable opportunity not
only proved to be enriching but also inspired Shannoy to apply the acquired
knowledge and skills to enhance operations at Carlisle Bay.
As Shannoy looks ahead in the industry, he is excited about the myriad of learning
opportunities that will further fuel his professional growth. He attributes his
success to the robust support from his dedicated team members and the diligent
