|  Cory
Williams - Director of Hotel Operations
Cory Williams is a graduate of California State University
with a degree in International Business. As part of
a study abroad program, Cory lived in Japan for 6 months
studying Japanese Business. He’s been in charge
of hotel operations for two years now. Cory’s job
is to make sure the Resort is running as smoothly as
possible. A self-described workaholic, he claims to
have no time for interests or hobbies, as operating
a 4-star resort is a full time job. You might catch
a glimpse of this busy guy running around the Resort,
but he’s working hard behind the scenes so our
guests can enjoy all that we have to offer.

|  Beau
Williams - General Manager
Beau
was raised in Northern California to have a great respect
for nature and the outdoors, always preferring to be
outside whenever possible. He soon encountered the habit
forming excitement of adrenaline sports such as lacrosse,
football, and motocross, and from then on out, attempted
to incorporate such emotion into his daily life as frequently
as possible. Beau went on to study Psychology and Anthropology
at Chico State University in California. Upon graduating
Beau began working at Crocodile Bay Resort as the Eco
Tour Director, where he was able to embrace his love
of the outdoors and under the teachings of many of the
local guides, increase his appreciation for both the
plant and animal life of the Rainforests of Costa Rica.
In 2004 he left the Eco Tour Department and became General
Manager, where he is better able to focus on every facet
of the clients experience.

| Alberto
Herrera - Eco Director
Alberto was born in San José, the capital of
Costa Rica. But, from youth he has always preferred
the life of rural areas. It is for that reason, that
he studied Agrology and Forest Engineering. Throughout
high school, he worked as a volunteer for the National
Parks of Costa Rica, devoting weekends and holidays
to work in protected areas. As a professional, Alberto
has worked for a number of Conversationalist NGO’s,
like the Neotropical Foundation, in the areas of Environmental
Education and Sustainable Development. As a naturalist
guide, he has led American university and high school
student groups on field trips from 7 to 22 days. Alberto
is knowledgeable on birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians,
and is particularly well versed and passionate about
plants and trees. He has been guiding for CBR for three
seasons.
 Justa
M. Solano - Spa Manager
Justa grew up in Quepos on the Pacific Coast of Costa
Rica. Her family moved to San Jose to give her the opportunity
to complete her education at some of the finest universities.
After graduating, she worked for several multinational
corporations in administration. While volunteering at
a local hospital, Justa realized that she had an interest
in the health care industry. She then began her studies
in the medical field by completing the curriculum at several
universities to expand her knowledge in all aspects of
massage therapy and aesthetic care. She has worked at
hotels throughout Costa Rica, and offered her services
to the patients of several doctors in the San Jose area.
Justa came to Crocodile Bay in December of 2006 as a massage
therapist, and was promoted to Spa Manager in May of 2007.

|  Todd
Staley – Director of Fishing
Todd carved his niche in the fishing community as a
lure manufacturer and outdoor journalist specializing
in light tackle in Florida and Costa Rica. He has been
published in many magazines and newspapers in both countries
and invented a lure that was banned from tarpon tournaments
in Boca Grande, Florida as an unfair advantage over
live bait. The late Archie Fields brought Todd to Costa
Rica nearly a decade ago to manage his famous tarpon
resort on the Caribbean coast. Since Archie's death
he has managed Golfito Sailfish Ranch and worked with
America Sportfishing in the Hotel del Rey. He is a world
record holder and has guided several others to world
records.
