Meet Nia Benjamin, a vibrant 23-year-old Food & Beverage Hostess at Blue Waters Resort & Spa, who’s been featured on Women in Tourism Caribbean!
Read more about her inspiring journey below!
I’m Nia Benjamin—23, a passionate Food & Beverage Hostess at Blue Waters Resort & Spa in Antigua. I’ve spent the past 5 years growing in hospitality, starting as a student intern and now proudly leading evening dining service, supporting my team, and delivering exceptional guest experiences.
Outside of work, I’m a national volleyball player. I’ve recently completed a wedding planning & coordination course with WPIC, guided by Tracey Manailescu —I’m now awaiting certification and excited to bring dream weddings to life.
In 2024, I was honored to be named a Rising Star, placing in the top 3 nationally and I’ve also earned several Employee of the Month awards. Though being young in this field can be tough, I’ve been lucky to have strong mentors and I truly believe age doesn’t define ability—mindset and passion do.
I’m just getting started but ready to keep shining for my guests, my team, and the future of tourism in Antigua
