 Case study
Naomi Beach Villa

Naomi Villa is a five star hotel situated in the southern border of Sri Lanka, awarded as the best of its
category by the president, several times.

Naomi Villa has 5 categories of rooms namely Standard, Superior, Deluxe, Suits and Penthouses. All five
categories are offered in either of two types “Garden View” or “Ocean View”. Standard, Superior and
Deluxe categories can be ordered in any of three bed sizes, known as “King” best suited for couples,
“Queen” suited for Singles, or “Twins” which is two separate single beds for travel partners. Suits have
“King” and “Twin Set” size beds where Penthouses can only be ordered with “King” size beds. Room bed
configuration and the view are native to the room and cannot be changed as desired. The five different
room categories are priced at a variation, but within a category, the price remains the same regardless
of the bed type and size or view.

Naomi Villa has several types of Clients, collectively known as “Guests”. A Guest can be either “Direct”
who booked the hotel directly, “repeat” who has visited another hotel before or “Agent” who booked
through third party travel agents. Different client types are offered rooms at different prices.

Customers willing to make a stay in the hotel must first make an inquiry, inquiries are recorded for
further follow up and promotional purposes. After the inquiry, customer can make an advance payment,
which makes the inquiry a confirmed booking. While making a booking, the customer has to specify the
preferred room type, view, bed size, stay period, etc.

Clients are also free to select one of any of the three meal plans during reservation. The meal plans
include “BB” where breakfast is included in the room bill, “HB” where breakfast and Dinner is included
and “FB” where all three meals are included.

Upon arrival, the Guest card is filled, and filed for the duration of stay, and archived after the departure
of the client. If the client visits the hotel again, the information in the archived guest card is used to
create a reservation for the new stay. Guest card collects the Customer Name(s), Birthday(s), ID
Number(s), Address(s) and Phone Number(s). After the registration, the customer is escorted into
his/her room.

Naomi villa has a selection of restaurants, bars, sports, tour and healthcare treatment facilities which
the guests can enjoy during his/her stay. Each facility requires a prior booking, for example, a customer
can book a romantic dinner for two, at the special roof top restaurant named “temptations” and request
for jasmine scented candles. Charges for such utilization are credited to the customer’s “room account”
which the Guest can pay during his “Check-out” either by cash or credit card.

After the check-out, guest records including his personal details, preference and information related to
his stay are archived along with the Guest card, which can be called upon to verify a re-visiting
customer.
