William Naughton, Senior V.P. and Managing Partner of Comfort Suites Paradise Island, is especially proud of the anniversary. “When we opened our doors in 1991 we envisioned becoming a landmark in the inventory of Paradise Island hotels by giving our guests an unforgettable experience at an affordable price point, and we have achieved that and so much more,” he noted.
“By maintaining our commitment to continuous improvement, we have been recognized repeatedly as one of the most popular and family-friendly accommodations options on Paradise Island,” said Naughton.

Anniversary celebrations at the property have included a t-shirt day for staff where long-term employees were celebrated for 10, 20 or 30 years of dedicated service to Comfort Suites Paradise Island. Special 30-year memorabilia items are being distributed to guests staying at the hotel in July in keeping with current COVID-19 safety protocols.

“Comfort Suites Paradise Island has long been a second home for many guests, and we have been privileged to be the setting for meetings, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and a host of other joyous celebrations,” said Wright, adding that upgrades, renovations and enhancements to the hotel over the years have kept the property “fresh” and reflect management’s unwavering focus on guest satisfaction.
o help meet guests’ needs during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Comfort Suites Paradise Island offers free on-site rapid antigen COVID-19 tests for registered guests returning to the United States. “We want our guests to focus on their reasons for coming here, which is for rest and relaxation, instead of the nitty gritty, so we are pleased to provide this essential service,” said the general manager.
