The Problem on Its Background

Rationale

Making the customers satisfied is one of the objectives of every

enterprise. Businesses that creates loyal customers is better for the

owners than be profitable in winning a lost. Customer satisfaction is a key

element of a company’s success in the market; a leading criterion in

determining the quality of service or products to the customers; and it is

also crucial for organizational survival. Customer satisfaction, loyalty, and

the image of the business have become the most discussed and relevant

topics in research for the service industry, especially for resorts, being

considered as the next source of competitive advantage (Woodruff &

Mavondo, 2015). The measurement of customer satisfaction has become

an important issue for researchers in service marketing and hospitality

management. According to Drucker, customer satisfaction, is and has

always been, “the mission and the purpose of every business” (Drucker,

2014).

The importance of customer satisfaction for marketing and

management is the key to business success. Customer is satisfied when

they feel that the products or services that they buy are made specially

1|Page
produced for them and they provide feedback to product or services to

develop in further customization. In a competitive marketplace were

businesses compete for customers, customer satisfaction is seen as a key

differentiator and increasingly has become a key element of business

strategy customer satisfaction drives successful private sector business.

High performing businesses have developed principles and strategies for

achieving customer satisfaction.

Resort is a family-based business with customer satisfaction at the

center of the business. They pride in the excellence of service and the core

values as a business are commitment, excellence, customer service and

loyalty. Being part of the guest celebration and achievement always bring

the resort great satisfaction. Customer satisfaction is a business term, is

a measure of how products and services supplied by a company meet or

surpass customer expectation. It is seen as a key performance indicator

within business and is part of the four perspectives of a balanced

scorecard. In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for

customers, customer satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and

increasingly has become a key element of business strategy.

Customer satisfaction is important in any company as all

businesses depend entirely on their customers. It is the customers that

are responsible for the growth of companies and therefore, they should

2|Page
always take center stage in any company. Customer satisfaction is related

to profit because satisfied customers often become repeat

customers. They shop regularly or use the services that the company

provides more frequently. When this happens, they are hooked to the

product or service and they become loyal customers. Moreover, to get the

customer satisfaction the company must imply some marketing strategies

that focuses on the quality assurance, reliability and durability of the

product and services that all our prospect customer is aiming for.

Therefore, the concept of customer satisfaction, profit and loyalty is

important to any company that wants to succeed. For this reason, there is

a need to ensure that indeed a company invests in these three crucial

items through its marketing and design departments. Measuring customer

satisfaction provides an indication of how successful the organization is at

providing products and or services to the market place. Customer

satisfaction is an ambiguous and abstract concept and the actual

manifestation of the state of satisfaction will vary from person to person

and services. The level of satisfaction can also vary depending on other

options the customer may have and other services against which the

customer can compare the organization's services.

atisfaction)

Today’s businesses are struggling on how for them to attract more

customers and on how to satisfy them to be able to catch their attention

and satisfaction. This is a measurement of how services supplied by

business meet or surpass customer expectation. In general, satisfaction is

a person’s feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting it from

comparing a service perceived performance relation to his/her

expectations. If the performance falls short of expectation, the customer is

dissatisfied. If the performance matches the expectation the customer is

satisfied. If the performance exceeds the expectation of the customer, the

customer is highly satisfied. (http://iosrjournals.org/iosr-

jbm/papers/Vol17-issue3/Version-1/BO17311631.pdf)

In Managing resort is not a simple task, you must be a professional,

your main responsibility will be to ensure that your guests have an

enjoyable vacation or recreational experience. You will also make sure that

your employer’s resort or lodging facility is running smoothly and must

respond to customer needs. The job is not simply about smiling and

making nice with visitors.

The reason why we conducted such a study is because it plays an

important role within the business and as a future business person, other

4|Page
than knowing what they love or enjoy, we also need to know how could we

satisfy and what would give them dissatisfaction to gain their loyalty. Not

only that, this study is also made to measure and to identify unhappy

customers, with this, a business could find ways to increase revenue and

help for the business to attract new customers in competitive business

environment.

Review of Related Literature and Studies

Various related studies and review materials are presented which

have a direct bearing on this study. The conceptual and research

literatures were taken from different sources that served as a useful guide

for the researchers in the completion of the study.

Conceptual Literature

In order to understand and conceptualize the main point of this

study it is important to define what customer satisfaction is. “A satisfied

customer” may be an image of someone smiling with pride of knowing he

got a good deal or perhaps it is the childlike look of happiness someone

exhibits after purchasing a new cellphone that could contain all of the

“apps” a child wants. Whatever picture of a satisfied customer is, customer

satisfaction is typically defined as the feeling that a person experiences

when an offering meets his or her expectations. Customer satisfaction is a

marketing term that measures how products or services supplied by a

company meet or surpass a customer’s expectation (Ross Beard 2014).

In which pleasure shortly decays directly into one’s total mindset

“satisfaction can be regarded as a broad principle; supporting good quality

is a component of satisfaction.” Client satisfaction is usually defined the

conditions or consumer’s fulfillment result. It is a ruling that

10 | P a g e
the quality of products or services, comes with a pleasurable level of intake

linked to the consumer’s fulfillment. In other words, it does not take total

level of well-being that has service/product knowledge (Olivers, 2007).

Service quality deemed a significant factor in increasing customer

satisfaction and loyalty. In the context of relationship marketing, customer

satisfaction is the way that leads to long term customer retention because

unsatisfied customers have very high switching rate (Lin & Wu, 2011).

Customer’s satisfaction has direct effect on customer loyalty (Mittal

& Lassar, 2008). Enhancing customer satisfaction is one of the key aspects

of enhancing competitiveness in the industry as well as insuring business

continuity (Goldsmith 2012). If a product or service fulfills the needs and

demand of a customer, he/she will become satisfied and will be converted

to as a loyal customer and thus will add in customer equity of the

company.

Customer’s satisfaction doesn’t just give impact on the business’

bottom line, it also gives impact on the business’ morale and retention

rate, wherein, staff, employees and everyone involved in the organization,

will have a positive mindset that the company is secured to have resources

for their benefits. High level of satisfaction from customers leads in

lowering costs related to defective services which increased

11 | P a g e
willingness of customers to pay prime premiums. It also leads to future

revenues and reduction in the cost of future transactions (Sarah

Chambers 2017).

Quality of Service

“A service is an activity or series of activities of more or less

intangible nature that normally, but not necessarily, takes place in

interaction between the customers and service employees.” (Randall 2013).

The nature of service defined as being an activity which involves a service.

Cleanliness

Cleanliness, which refers to hygiene and sanitation is the most

important aspect in the resort business. Regardless of how good they treat

or how well they give a good service to their customers, customers will not

be win if the resort is dirty or untidy.

Ambiance

The “ambiance” which is an “artificial environment” influences both

clients and workers within the program progress. The ambient cues involve

the entire ambiance that the resort possess, the design cues consists of

the décor and interior design of a resort and the social cues includes the

people that are present in the resort, adding more to the

12 | P a g e
resort’s quality and status. For the research, the focus was primarily on

the factors which makes up the ambient cue which includes cleanliness

of the resort and the scent that lingers in the background and give a

positive vibe to the customers (Bohl,2012).

Environment

Customer’s final pleasure has significant effect connected with

atmosphere. Bodily environment is useful to produce profit within the

mind connected with customer in order to affect their own behavior. Bodily

atmosphere with the dining places has the significant has an effect on the

client’s pleasure (Lim 2010).

13 | P a g e
 Research Literature

This presents the compilation of reviewed research literature from

the unpublished theses and dissertations which can enhance and provide

insights which are significant to the study. However, the researchers of

these theses and dissertations may help in enhancing knowledge of the

customers on how the owners managed their businesses which are Verde

Royale Resort, Ali I’ vai Resort and Hacienda Vista Resort and on how they

will reach the customer’s satisfaction. And this will help the researchers

as well as to find facts or reference about their studies about the customer

satisfaction and to be more knowledgeable and aware on how they will

satisfy the customers.

According to Jana & Chandra (2016), customer satisfaction has

become an important aspect of the hotel and resort industry. Unlike other

industries, the hotel and resort industry prospers due to customers’

retention. It is only through customer satisfaction that a hotel and resort

can retain its customers. Basically, customers’ loyalty is dependent on the

quality of the services that they get in a hotel and resort. Moreover, the

hospitality industry has experienced the entrance of many investors who

are willing to meet all the needs of their customers. Therefore, if customers

14 | P a g e
are not satisfied by the services they receive in one hotel, they will look for

better services elsewhere (Jana & Chandra, 2016).

One of the main strategies used by hotels and resorts to enhance

customer satisfaction is benchmarking. Benchmarking enables hotels and

resorts to learn from other players in the industry and learn what makes

their competitors competitive. In some cases, some hotels and resort may

not reveal their secrets to their competitors. However, the hotel and resort

industry does not involve sensitive information. For this reason, most

hotels and resort are willing to share the secrets behind their success.

Nonetheless, the only thing that makes some hotels prosper as com-pared

to others is hotel innovativeness. Hotel and resort innovation enables

prosperous hotel and resort to create new strategies that enhance a

competitive advantage over their rivals. Benchmarking is easier for chain

hotels in that all hotels under the chain are able to borrow the traditions

of the chain and offer similar services irrespective of their geographical

locations. Hotel and resort industry customer loyalty is an element that

shows the effectiveness of the management and all the stakeholders. A

management approach focused on customer loyalty can improve the

competitiveness of the hotel (Tsiotsou & Goldsmith, 2012)

Satisfaction is the knowledge that one’s needs have been met;

satisfaction can also be related to other types of feelings depending on

15 | P a g e
the particular context or type of service. For example; satisfaction can be

viewed as contentment- more of a passive response that consumers may

associate with service as they do not think a lot about the product or

service that they receive routinely over time. Satisfaction may also be

associated with feelings of pleasure for services that make the consumer

feel good or are associated with the sense of happiness. In some situation,

where the removal of negative leads to satisfaction, the consumer may

associate a sense of relief with satisfaction (Zarate 2006).

Many organizations merely categorize customer satisfaction

measurement as a type of “marketing intelligence” instead of using it as a

management tool to build the customer into their quality improvement

processes and increase profit. As a result, companies often know the cost

of providing good service but they seldom know the cost of providing bad

service (Linnell, 2006).

Haemoon Oh and Sara Parks state there is a desperate need for new

research that will advance customer satisfaction (CS) and service quality

(SO) methodologies in the hospitality industry. This comprehensive review

of the theories and methodologies reported in CS and SQ studies cited in

the hospitality literature provides suggestions for future CS and SQ

research in the hospitality field. First, the theoretical and methodological

16 | P a g e
issues are critically reviewed. Next, major developments in CS and SQ

research methodologies are discussed. The concept of importance and its

role in behavioral models are included as they have been recently applied

in hospitality CS and SQ research. The final section of this study is devoted

to developing and proposing new directions for future CS and SQ research

in the hospitality industry.

Customer satisfaction theory has been brought out since last

century, but it drives higher attention just in recent years, as the

competition for the companies in the same business categories are getting

fierce; in order to stand out in their specific business field, awareness of

customer satisfaction is becoming more and more crucial for the

companies. Paul et al (2010) has mentioned that Customer satisfaction is

a measure of how products and services supplied by a company meet or

surpass customer expectation. Customer satisfaction is defined as "the

number of customers, or percentage of total customers, whose reported

experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds

specified satisfaction goals" generally, the customer satisfaction. Service

performance – Expectation, if the service performance lower than what

customer expected, then the customer satisfaction is relatively lower; if the

service performance surpass the customer satisfaction, which means the

customer satisfaction is relatively higher. Gitman et al (2008) has pointed

out that customer

17 | P a g e
satisfaction is seen as a key performance indicator within business. In a

competitive marketplace where businesses compete for customers,

customer satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has

become a key element of business strategy. Therefore, it is essential for

businesses to effectively manage customer satisfaction. To be able do this,

firms need reliable and representative measures of satisfaction.

Customer satisfaction is a driving force in sales growth, increased

loyalty and a strong multi-channel strategy where each channel is

optimized to meet customer’s need. According to Kuzak (2012), Customer

Service is defined as satisfying customer exceptionally well, positive

memorable customer service experience is what it takes in attaining

customer patronage and loyalty. The measurement of customer

satisfaction provides means of creating broader service improvement.

Organizations armed with the right information about customer

satisfaction can use it to better target services to their customers’ needs

or better manage customer expectation by improve the way program

benefits are communicated. This information also allows organizations to

improve those aspects of service delivery which are most important to

customers, focusing time and resources more effectively.

18 | P a g e
 It is important to note that the measurement of customer

satisfaction is not the same as measuring overall service quality but one

distinct part of an integrated framework for analyzing service quality and

efficacy. A broader quality improvement framework would likely include

methods and processes to measure unmet service demand, customers’

outcomes, and evaluation of external programs impacting on customers

support for continuous quality improvement.

Research Design

This chapter presents the design of investigation used by the

researchers. It includes the research method used, locale of the study,

subject of the study, data gathering instrument, data gathering procedure

and treatment of data.

The objective of this study is geared to the desire of the researchers

to find out the satisfaction of the customers in the service of Verde Royale

Resort, Hacienda Vista Resort and Ali’I Vai Resort in Calasiao, Pangasinan.

Research Method

The researchers used descriptive survey method specifically

survey questionnaire. Descriptive Method is a research method that

describes the characteristics of the population or phenomenon that is

being studied. In other words, descriptive research primarily focuses on

describing the nature of a demographic segment, without focusing on

“why” a certain phenomenon occurs. The researchers used the descriptive

survey questionnaire because it is quick and efficient way in obtaining

large amount of information from a large sample of people.

Descriptive Survey defined as a brief interview or discussion with an

individual about a specific topic, there are two types of survey the interview

and the questionnaire. According to Moser and Kalton (1971) a descriptive

20 | P a g e
survey attempts to establish the range and distribution of some social

characteristics, such as education or training, occupation, and location,

and discover how these characteristics maybe related to certain behavior

patterns or attitudes.

Locale of the Study

According to calasiao.gov.php/index.php/history/, the name

Calasiao was derived from the native word Kalasian, which means "a place

where lightning frequently occurs", from the root word lasi, meaning

"lightning". Upon the arrival of the Spaniards, they called the place "Lugar

de Rayos", a literal Spanish translation of the word Kalasian. It was named

as such because it is said that Calasiao back in the day was always

frequented by this natural phenomenon. Today, Calasiao is known as a

First-Class Municipality and is located at the very heart of Pangasinan. It

governs 24 barangays and 31 sitios in a total land area of 4,836 hectares.

The researchers chose Calasiao because of its accessibility and

popularity of the products and services given in the said place. Calasiao's

flagship product is the native rice cake known as Puto Calasiao.

In figure 1, it shows the map of Verde Royale Resort (VRR), it is

located at Ambonao, Calasiao, Pangasinan. The mission of VRR is to

provide families and friends a venue where they can relax and enjoy, where

21 | P a g e
they can celebrate important occasions in their lives and more

importantly, appreciate Mother Nature. It is owned by Attorney Rubenita

Bigol.

In figure 2, it shows the map of Ali’i Vai Resort, it is located at

Banaoang, Calasiao, Pangasinan. Ali’i Vai is not just merely a resort but

also an event place where people can celebrate occasions and choose the

resort as place. It is owned by Mr. Lito and Minda Acosta and operated by

Ms. Nora Honrado.

In figure 3, it shows the map of Hacienda Vista Resort, it is located

at Songkoy, Calasiao, Pangasinan. Hacienda Vista is an event place as well

where reception in some weddings, christening and other events are

catered. It is owned by Ms. Yolanda Lopez

Respondents of the study

The researchers decided that the target respondents are not less

than 15 years old for more accurate answer for the study. The survey done

at Verde Royale Resort with 30 respondents, Hacienda Vista Resort with

30 respondents and Ali’i Vai Resort with 30 respondents, in total of 90

respondents over all. The researchers conducted the survey to the

customers inside their cottages or those customers/people around. The

respondents are very important because customers are the most

concerned about the services given in the resort and therefore customers

as a respondent can give every detailed fact and information regarding

what the failure and recovery of the resort are.

Data Gathering Instruments

Survey Questionnaire is the main instrument that will be use in this

study. Questionnaire is a research instrument consisting of a series of

questions for the purpose of gathering information from respondents. This

is designed to assess to the survey in other to collect relevant data needed

in the study. The survey guide has been made in a way that it is inter-

connected to the statement of the problem that will give answer to this

study. Our survey guide was contained by a set of specific questions about

the customer satisfaction in the services of the resort.

Data Gathering Procedures

The researchers sought permission from the research adviser to

allow them for the conduct of the study outside Dagupan City with the

advice and guidance of the thesis adviser and asked permission to the

management of Verde Royale Resort, Hacienda Vista Resort and Ali’i Vai

Resort to allow the researchers to include their customers as the subject

of this study. A letter of request was prepared and forwarded for their

approval. Upon approval, the researchers prepared sets of questions as a

chief total in gathering data with subject of the study, when the questions

are validated by their respective instructor, the researcher pre-arranged

the time and date of the interview according to the availability of the

interviewers.

28 | P a g e
Treatment of Data

The researchers write down all the observations and measurement

that were gathered in the said survey. Organizing, interpreting and

analyzing the data were also part of the treatment of data for the

researchers to draw conclusions and recommendation for the said study

of the business resorts.

The overall mean of the extent of the customer satisfaction in terms

facility is 3.57 which means the customers are satisfied, resort staff is 3.64

which means that the customers are satisfied, activity is 3.37 which means

honestly provided some lists in the tables below on what these customer's

issues and concerns about the resort.

Table 7

Issues or Related Problems Encountered by the Customers in terms

of the Facilities

The table shows the frequency count of some issues or related

problems by the customers in resorts in Calasiao, Pangasinan in terms of

facilities and with the sub-areas.

Facilities

The table shows the percentage of the customers that is somewhat

satisfied and not satisfied in the sub-areas of the facilities. In Ambiance 1

out of 90 respondents said that Verde Royale Resort (VRR) has small space

and 1 out 90 respondents said that Ali’I Vai Resort is not relaxing. In

Restroom cleanliness 3 out of 90 respondents said that VRR, Ali’I Vai and

Hacienda Vista Resort (HVR) has many trashes in restroom, 4 out of 90

respondents said that VRR, Ali’I Vai and HVR has a bad smell and 3 out

of 90 respondents said that the restroom of the three resort is slippery

floor. In Cleanliness of the resort, 7 out of 90 respondents said that the

resorts are not so clean and 2 out of 90 respondents said that the other

equipments of Ali’I Vai and VRR are not in proper place. In parking area,

14 out of 90 said that it is not spacious. In Cottage, 5 out of 90 respondents

VRR and Ali’I Vai have no outlet, 4 out of 90 respondents said that the

cottages are not well maintained in cleanliness and 2 out of 90

respondents said that the baggage is not safe in VRR and HVR.

Almost all customers answered that the parking area is too

small and needs to be widen; this means that most customers own a

vehicle and are less satisfied to the facilities which include ambiance,

restroom cleanliness and cottages of the resort. In relation to Bittner

(2002) concluded that the intangible nature of services leads customers

38 | P a g e
to make cognitive assessment of service quality based on extrinsic cues

found in the services cape. These physical environments affect customers’

physical comfort and movement which affects their satisfaction.

The propose measure to improve the extent of customer satisfaction

on the resort services in terms of facilities. The management should take

consider to the space of the resorts parking area, the cleanliness of the

resort, having an outlet in every cottage and maintain the cleanliness of

the rest room. This would help the customer be more comfortable in the

resort.

answering the questionnaires, they observed that there are only few staff

who are handling in taking customer service or needs which results for

slow service. They felt that the resorts are running with lack of front staff

specially in peak hours where groups of people are quickly coming-in the

resort. When it comes to their appearance, they notice that staff doesn’t

have a proper uniform or even dress code.

41 | P a g e
 The propose measure to improve the extent of customer satisfaction

on the resort services in terms of resort staff. The resort

management should consider enhancing their staff by increasing staff

responsiveness in giving the customer needs and being alert. Done by

insuring that staffs are given regular trainings on “effectively serving

customers” making more friendly, knowledgeable and attentive.

In resort services, several problems are needed to resolve or improve

based on the customer’s feedback these include; the pool has too much

chlorine and the water is neither clean nor clear. Pool activities like slide

have a lot of problem and needed to renovate, some of the slide are not

functioning and has time limit. Also, some videoke microphone is

grounded and their song book is outdated and their function hall is lack

of chairs.

The proposed measure to improve the extent of customer

satisfaction on the resort services in terms of activities. The resort should

take consideration by completing the equipment in case customer would

have their event at the resort in that way they will provide the needs and

wants of the customer. Maintain the cleanliness of the pool area and lessen

the chlorine, so that the customer would enjoy their swimming activities.

43 | P a g e
Update the list of song book and fix the grounded microphone or put some

cover in the microphone so that even when their hands are wet, they’ll be

able to use it.

needed are affordable for some and worth it, but some of them said it is

not worth it because it is too expensive, especially the cottages.

The resort management should implement the low price of rental of

other equipment so that the customer can afford it or extend the time limit
