Goa ticks all the right boxes for couples in love or honeymooners. With vast ocean vistas, sun-kissed sandy beaches, vibrant nightlife and gorgeous churches dotting the landscape, it is the go-to for people wanting to know each other in a relaxing environment.
Hotels have always unrolled the red carpet for this clientele and come up with innovative ways to make their trip memorable. Hilton Goa Resort recently launched its Amore Intimo package for honeymoon couples seeking to visit the sunshine state. From the time they arrive to the time they leave, the hotel has thoughtfully crafted each moment into this package, creating an experience that elevates one’s love to a state of divinity. Amandeep Grover, General Manager, Hilton Goa Resort, explains why this is a package with a difference and one that can help the hotel attract more lovebirds.
What is unique about the Amore Intimo offer?
With Amore Intimo, we have envisioned a package that ties with the concept of Wedding Diaries by Hilton, thus offering a dreamy honeymoon loaded with curated experiences and bespoke F&B services. We have added a touch of luxury to everything we offer to ensure honeymooners enjoy the pampering, care and comfort that Hilton is known for
The journey begins right from the arrival with private airport transfers and breakfast in bed put together mindfully, keeping one’s tastes and preferences in mind. With sunlight drifting through the windows, they can wake up to a morning coffee, tea, or juice right in their bed. The journey continues in their suite with the concept of @YourBalcony, where our culinary artists prepare a lip-smacking private barbeque experience right on their balconies.
One of the highlights is a dip into the exotic petal bath, set up with salts that promote relaxation and rejuvenation, giving a fresh breath to one’s body and soul. All of this would be incomplete without a romantic dinner at Doce, specially set up as part of the experience. Doce is a coffee lounge that offers handcrafted coffees, brews and confectionaries and lends an intimate environment, open-air and a view that pulls in the setting sun, river and fields.
Why did Hilton Goa create this particular campaign and especially now?
We created this package mainly at this time because the wedding season is here, and the market is buzzing. People have started to travel and are looking for the correct destination for their honeymoon.
Goa is one of the favourite destinations for honeymooners. Hilton Goa Resort can offer them luxury with unique touchpoints to make the right start for their journey together. Since we launched The Wedding Diaries by Hilton earlier this year, focusing on curating wedding experiences, we thought of bringing the attention of honeymooners to our hotel by launching Amore Intimo.
With this package, the couples can embrace love in a perfect setting exclusively curated for them to maintain utmost privacy. The experience of being together in a private plunge pool, taking a dip in the exotic petal bath and having dinner options at our delectable restaurant— Doce is sure to give them a unique experience that they will remember for years to come. Again, these are choices that the guests can curate as they like.
What are some expectations from this campaign regarding customer calls, sales conversions, etc.?
It’s difficult to say about the expectations and the number of calls we may get for this package. Our main reason was to offer our guests the most sought-after experience that they will cherish with some unique services that will matter to them.
It is all about getting out there and offering our customers something unique and dreamy that they will enjoy during their stay with us. People do get a lot of packages, but Amore Intimo is the one with exclusive value adds touchpoints that will stay in our guests’ memories forever.
How will you promote this campaign to Hilton Honors members?
We would undoubtedly promote this package with our Hilton Honors platform through our regional sales team. We have a great base of Hilton Honors members across the country, and it is a beautiful opportunity to leverage it with them.
But I want to look at it holistically, not only for Hilton Honors but for all our esteemed guests travelling to Goa. The wedding season is on, and people have delayed or postponed their weddings in the last two years due to the pandemic. Now is the perfect time for them to explore new beginnings, and we are here for them with our elite package—Amore Intimo that will surely make for a magical stay at the Hilton Goa Resort.
