Pointe Estero Beach Resort, located at 6640 Estero Boulevard, has “freshened up” its tropical landscaping with many colorful and native Florida plants. When the resorts’ prodigious property sign was removed and replaced with two monument signs, it took the opportunity – working with the resort landscaper – to beautify the grounds, lake and waterfall areas. Pointe Estero’s board members and owners have always been very generous in doing what is needed to keep the property in tip-top shape which can be seen throughout the grounds from Estero Boulevard to the white sand of Fort Myers Beach. Several varieties of palm trees – Foxtail, Areca, Coconut, Queen and Needle – fill out the resort grounds mixed in with Mexican Blue Bells, Hybiscus, Beach Sunflower, Lantana and Plumbago. Pointe Estero has selected mostly native plant species that are adapted to the Florida heat, humidity, drought, flooding and frosts.

The next step is reviewing all the applications and performing background checks. Those who will receive a second interview or who will be hired, will be notified within a week to 10 days. New employees at the Resort at MarinaVillage will begin training in mid-October. And a post card or email will be sent to applicants whose information will be kept on file for the next possible round of hiring, which cold come in the first quarter of 2010.

Thank you to all the candidates that attended the job fair and to those dedicated SunStream employees who made this two-day event a huge success.
