Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The luggage porter assists guests with luggage on arrival and departure, escorts them to rooms, explains basic hotel facilities, and supports the front desk with guest requests and deliveries. Candidates should be customer-focused, physically capable of handling luggage, well presented, reliable, and comfortable working shifts, weekends, and public holidays. Good communication skills in Spanish are expected; conversational English and other languages are valuable in an international resort. Previous experience in a hotel, bell service, or guest-facing position is advantageous, although training may be provided. The role requires professionalism, discretion, teamwork, and a warm, efficient approach to delivering the Paradisus guest experience.
Can I work in the Canary Islands?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Local-first test (hotel jobs are not on the shortage list), or a seasonal permit that comes with employer housing.
Official source: Spanish Ministry of Inclusion: residence and work permit for employees. Checked November 2026.
