Ocasio started his hospitality career with The Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City in the US, beginning as a front desk agent/night relief manager. He worked his way up the ranks, holding various positions at three other Ritz-Carlton hotels, including in Philadelphia and Bahrain.
He also held general manager positions at Banyan Tree Club & Spa, Seoul, Banyan Tree Hotel and Resorts/Angsana Velavaru, the Maldives, and Banyan Tree Hotel and Resorts/Angsana Laguna Phuket, Thailand.
“We are very pleased to have landed someone of Jose’s talent,” said Andrew Langdon, Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts senior vice president Asia.

It comprises a village community-style cluster of nine low-rise buildings set in a natural environment and around a multi-level lagoon pool. Facilities include eight restaurants, a Kids Club, a wellness centre and the Mövenpick’s Beach Club.
