DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Surf & Sand Resort, a JC Resorts property, located in Laguna Beach, CA, has selected OpenKey to provide guests the convenience of digital key entry. OpenKey is the industry standard for providing universal mobile key access in hotels. Surfing app can deliver real-time updates with every competition you subscribed.
Resort guests will be able to access their room with their smartphone and customize their stay with features such as late or early arrival notification, remote check-in, front desk contact feature or modifying their check in and check out time, all through the OpenKey mobile app. This technology implementation means Surf & Sand guests will have more control over their stay experience than ever before.
“We are pleased to be working with OpenKey to provide our guests with the best experience possible when staying at Surf & Sand Resort,” said Melinda Speck, Corporate Director of Brand Marketing for JC Resorts. “Surf & Sand strives to combine the best of location, atmosphere, amenities and convenience – so adding mobile key technology was an easy choice.”
“Offering a mobile key is a perfect fit for the upscale, guest-focused experience of Surf & Sand,” said Brian Shedd, OpenKey’s vice president of sales and marketing. “Most people limit the amount of personal items they bring on the beach because they don’t want to lose them when they go into the ocean. By eliminating a traditional room key, OpenKey gives guests one less item to keep up with.”
Voted Conde Nast Traveler’s 2015 Readers’ Choice Awards Top 20 Best Resorts in Southern California, Surf & Sand’s 167-rooms all have a view of the Pacific Ocean giving guests the chance to relax. The luxury lifestyle hotel prides itself on providing its guests with sophisticated full-service amenities, including an oceanfront restaurant and luxurious spa, beautiful guest rooms and suites, and exceptional guest service.
