Testimonials

    I know Gabriela Markova in professional and personal way and I can say she has been always a real pleasure to work with. She is honest, goes straight to the point, is not scared to say No and she is someone you can always trust. In this business it is most important to deal with honest people who compromise and do the utmost to help. This is the kind of person Gabriela is. Besides, we developed a personal relationship and it is fantastic, we trust each other. I have been working with Gabriela at 2 great hotels and in both she has always been willing to support my agency.

    I never in my career came across someone so passionate and sales driven. Gabriela has amazing connections and a reliable network within the Luxury Industry. But more than that she is a wonderful person to be with, with an outstanding positive and happy attitude.

    I have been fortunate to work alongside Gabriela on a number of luxury properties around the world throughout mine and her career. She has shown that understanding and listening to the industry people, helps getting it right for the client and that attention to detail incorporating the little bespoke elements into an experience is what counts. I have not met anyone who understands luxury like Gabby and this was demonstrated in her successful time at Velaa Private Island but also before with the Mandarin Oriental hotels. Gabriela understands that in today's world the client doesn't just want a luxury room and property but the whole aspect of what the destination can offer is just as important from on the ground experiences and services to moments that will then create emotions that last a lifetime. Any product working with Gabriela will see the genuine benefits of her representation and the longevity of what this will bring.

    I got to know Gabriela from her early times at Mandarin Oriental, Prague, years before transferring to the group's property in Barcelona, where she absolutely fell in love with the city. Some years ago, it was Gabriela who brought Velaa Private Island, one of the Maldives' top three resorts, to the Spanish market. Her superb knowledge of a great number of markets, together with her passion for our trade, definitely makes her a very reliable partner. Now that she's opened her own company, I can tell that in no time she will represent a very nice portfolio.

    I have known Gabriela Markova for several years, since the time she was at the Mandarin Oriental in Prague. I continued to work with her over the years, after she moved to Barcelona to the Mandarin Oriental and, more recently, when she moved to Velaa Private Island in the Maldives where we had our top clients staying and loving every minute of it. Gabriela has always been extremely professional, reliable and supportive in our working relationship, in addition to being very personable and charming. I cannot but endorse wholeheartedly her new initiative of hotel representation and consulting.
