Sena has been recognized in the Interior Design category for The Reserve at 601 by Exploria Resorts and in the Refurbishment: Common Area category for the Check-in Building at Summer Bay Orlando by Exploria Resorts.

“It’s very gratifying for my team to be recognized for the creativity and hard work we put into every one of our projects,” says Dawn Sena, the firm’s founder and president. “This past year has been a challenging time for our industry, but it has also proven the value of the resort experience we provide for timeshare owners. We’re very proud to have played a part in bringing these beautiful projects to reality.”

Exploria’s vice president of operations is thrilled with the renovation project, which was completed in 2019 . “The new check-in building is open, inviting and sets the overall tone for a relaxing and attentive vacation experience,“ says Cheryl Bellacicco.
