Nani Almanza

Strategic Client Services Specialist

My perfect day is when I can watch the sun rise over the city from the Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa’s upper patio. Everything about it, from the sound of the softly crashing waves and playful seagulls to the dreamy sailboats and adorable sea otters, reminds me of just how lucky I am to call Monterey home.
