Aruban Ralph Ecury has a lovely job in The Hague. After finishing his education in The Netherlands, Ecury decided to stay in search of a job. The idea is to return to Aruba someday with all the experience of managing large hotels. Ralph Ecury is Operations Manager at the Holiday Inn Express in the government zone.
When the 24Ora.com team heard that a fellow Aruban was in charge of the hotel they are staying at, they asked to speak with him. Ralph Ecury Jr. is the son of Ralph Ecury who used to own the gas station that is now Citgo Blvd. His mother manages the popular Kowloon Restaurant. When Ralf Jr. went to go study in The Netherlands, it was the idea that he return to Aruba to take over Kowloon, but the plans have changed. He started working at the Marriott and afterwards, the Holiday Inn Express approached him. During the pandemic, he worked very hard to show that he is an invaluable member of the team.
Ralph visits Aruba frequently to see his family and otherwise he meets up with his sister and cousins in The Netherlands from time to time. For now, he will be staying in The Netherlands, as there is more to experience there, although he does have plans to return to Aruba eventually.
