Snow Cones by the poolOne of the daily activities that I participated in was serving complimentary snow cones by the pool. They served as a cool refreshing treat to hotel guests.

Favorite ActivityMy favorite activity this summer was managing and planning the family movie every evening at dusk. The movie would be played by the pool outside on the resort's large deck. Beach chairs, tables, lounging chairs and ottomans were set up to give this area a comfortable movie theater setting. Popcorn, s'mores and refreshing fruit flavored water would be served, giving guests the ultimate summer movie feel.

National Ice Cream DayNational Ice Cream Day happened to be on a Sunday this summer. What's better than creating your own Sundae on Sunday? This was one of the more popular activities that I managed during this summer internship. This activity was set up in the main lobby during check-in time. This provided hotel guests to cool off with a fun treat while they waited to check-in with the Holiday Inn Resort in Galveston.

Like any other popular tourist destination, the Holiday Inn Resort in Galveston uses Trip Advisor for reviews and feedback. This was the first review that I made by a recent resort guest. I was very excited that my services helped made this guest stay that more enjoyable!

When the weather was not cooperating or the movie equipment was causing technical difficulties, I had to move all necessary items to the ballroom for the family movie. This was never a fun task, but it allowed me to build experience when managing events and activities. I now fully understand the importance for having a contingency plan.
