This was definitely a summer to remember. Summer takeover were a massive help on the job front and great people who you could speak to whether you just wanted a chat or if you had a problem. Very friendly and would recommend anyone who want to go out and work through ST. They provided me a job on Tidal as a VIP host and it was hands down the best job on the island, making friends for life.

Most jobs in Benidorm will revolve around the tourist industry: restaurant work, bar work and ticket selling/event work with some of Benidorm’s biggest party brands. Promo and sales staff are always in high demand due to the volume of hen and stag parties that arrive each summer - confident personalities will shine here!
The season runs from May to September. We'd recommend committing to a minimum of two months if you're not able to do the full season so you can experience as much as possible - a month will definitely not be long enough! If it's your first time working abroad, we recommend going out earlier, it's easier to get your bearings when it's a little quieter than to jump in at the deep end mid season.
The wages in Benidorm are generous, and this will go far as the cost of living is minimal. You’ll never be strapped for cash when working in Benidorm, which means extra money for the party fund!
If you really want to make money, try ticket selling or shot selling - commission based rolls always have the highest earning potential.
