Palm Beach – The Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino is proud to announce the appointment of Mark DiMartino to Director of Group Sales, a much-deserved promotion. 

Mark, now at the helm of group sales has been working for the island of Aruba for decades, and joined the sales team for the Hilton,  in June of 2017. 

The group business was thriving and he enjoyed fantastic relationships with his peers in the Aruba Convention Bureau and his colleagues at other resort properties, as well as his experienced and capable in-house team.
