Program Details

The program is to help the crew in reception and brunch restaurant, 5h per day and enjoy 2 days of day off. You also will have day off at check in day and day off at check out day.
Or concept is based on a relax, chilling place, where we can have guests of all ages, that can practice yoga, work online or just enjoy their time in Portimão. We have lots of guests that stop here to rest and then continue to other cities in Algarve, so we want to provide them peaceful moments. We do not have parties or events organization.

Activities & Shift

During the day, you can do check ins, help guests with luggage or information. Also can help in serving the breakfast, and help us in our restaurant. The night shift is more like giving help to guests that come very late at night and in big groups, so it's not very often to happen. Also keep the manager informed about any unusually situation that might happen.
