Chesney F. Hughes was recently appointed as Malliouhana’s Cultural Ambassador and has already made an indelible impression. His unique rum and chocolate tasting event (hosted every Wednesday) has become a fixture of the Malliouhana guest experience. He is regarded as a master communicator with an admirable people-centered disposition.

With over 30 years of service in the hotel food and beverage industry, Hughes has built an impressive repertoire of skills throughout his career. He is certified by the acclaimed New York State University program in Hospitality Management and has also undergone numerous training exploits including Wine Training at Vineyards of France.

Emerging from humble beginnings as an assistant Maître D’hôtel, Hughes with his gregarious and hospitable persona, quickly progressed to managerial positions at leading 5-star resorts in Anguilla. His stellar performance in such positions facilitated his appointment to the Anguilla Tourist Board of Directors from 2015-2020 by the Minister of Tourism. However, his most significant and long-lasting contributions are embedded in the fabric of Malliouhana’s history; It is the place that Hughes calls home. He has always been a resounding favorite among guests and hopes to continue designing unforgettable guest experiences that satisfy every desire.
