THE ROLEThe Concierge at Silvestre is not a traditional front desk role. You are the architect of our guests' experiences, the person who makes a stay in Nosara feel like it was designed specifically for them. You will manage the guest journey from the first point of contact through post-departure follow-up, building genuine personal connections, curating bespoke itineraries, closing bookings with confidence, and coordinating with our network of world-class local providers to ensure every experience exceeds expectations.You work primarily from the front desk and, when the moment calls for it, from a private setting for guest consultations. Your days are dynamic: one moment you are on a call with an incoming guest designing their week, the next you are coordinating a private surf lesson, a sunset dinner reservation at La Luna, and an early morning whale-watching boat charter, all for the same family, arriving tomorrow.The ideal candidate is equal parts people person, closer, and operator. You love the details. You follow up without being asked. You know Nosara deeply and love sharing it. You move with both urgency and elegance. You understand that luxury is not about what you offer, it is about how it feels to receive it.
