Tony Hanley, Chief Technical officer for Digicel commented "The innovative design provides excellent GSM coverage throughout the entire hotel compound including, the main lobby area, the Royal Beach Casino, executive offices, and staff service areas."
"The unobtrusive solution implemented by Digicel has discretely located antennas with no visible cabling and has been completed without any impact on the hotel structure." Hanley added.
Digicel is the only GSM operator on St. Kitts that provides coverage throughout the entire hotel and casino grounds. Tourists and visitors to the hotel will enjoy full network access with Digicel, making communication whilst traveling even simpler. Employees of the hotel and casino will enjoy unrivaled coverage and a first class quality service throughout the entire facility.
Kevin Edwards, Market Manager - Digicel St. Kitts and Nevis remarked, "The investment and upgrade of our network inside the Hotel ensures an enhanced mobile experience for every visitor and user of the St. Kitts Marriott Resort. As we all know St. Kitts and Nevis is shifting more focus to tourism as source of economic growth; Digicel is committed to the Federation and see this investment as a means of doing our part as a responsible Corporate Citizen."

"This latest move by Digicel we consider to be one in the right direction so that St. Kitts & Nevis can continue to build a reputation for the highest quality service and experience for those visitors and users of the St. Kitts Marriott Resort & the Royal Beach Casino," Minister Carty continued.
