It runs the daily activities of the hotel, so that all the facilities available to guests are perfect from the first to the last day of your stay at the hotel.<\/p>\n Jado is a great connoisseur of the Bijag\u00f3s Islands, of the local culture and traditions, of the fauna and the flora, knows the history of the bijag\u00f3s, of the Queen Okinka Pampa and of several places of extraordinary natural beauty, thanks to its academic formation and his love to the Island.<\/p>\n<\/div> Head housekeeper<\/em><\/p>\n Clara is like a mother; she looks after the guests at Orango Parque Hotel with great care and attention.
