FAQs

Where will I stay at the resorts and what will my meal options be?

As the resorts are often situated in remote areas, your employer will provide you with accommodation to simplify the process.

You'll be offered good quality sleeping quarters on or near the site, which typically cost between $150 and $250 per week, much cheaper than in towns or cities.

The dining arrangements will then depend on the resort, but there'll be options to ensure you're fully fed for every day.

You may have access to employee cafeterias where meals are provided at a heavily discounted price, with various options available for approximately $1 to $3 per meal.

Dietary requirements will also be accommodated.

Alternatively, your accommodation may feature a communal kitchen for self-cooking, and you'll be responsible for your groceries.

Can I choose a resort?

Part of the service we provide is ensuring that we find the best possible resort for you, based on your skillset and experience.

Resorts set their staffing needs and select candidates based on their skills and availability, which we'll then find great applicants for.

We collaborate with you to enhance your application to appeal to a wide range of employers, increasing your chances of securing the best possible placement options in the United States.

Will I get time off?

Time off is an important part of experiencing local culture in your own way.

You’ll have guaranteed time off alongside your colleagues to explore the local area, enjoy some downtime, or even contribute to other areas of resort life.

These parts are just as important to rest and recuperate, so there'll be a chance to do it all.

Time off varies depending on your resort and your role, but they will all be confirmed ahead of you starting.
