Locals gather to join the full-service resort, scheduled to open in early 2017

Grand Cayman, CYM – October 5, 2016 – The highly anticipated Margaritaville Beach Resort Grand Cayman, located in the heart of Grand Cayman on Seven Mile Beach, held a local hiring event on Saturday, October 1, for more than 75 open positions. Applicants lined up at George Town Town Hall for the event, which drew more than 200 excited potential resort employees.

“We are very enthusiastic about the turnout and response we saw from applicants during the local career fair,” said Michael Evans, vice president of HHG Holdings, the ownership group for Margaritaville Beach Resort Grand Cayman. “We are committed to supporting the local community and thrilled to have found employees who embrace our philosophy of delivering warm, authentic Caymanian hospitality to our future guests.”

Several applicants are moving forward for positions in all aspects of the resort, from front office and housekeeping to culinary and retail. This career fair was exclusively held for Caymanians, Cayman status holders, resident and employment rights certificate holders, as well as permanent residents with the right to work.

When it opens its doors in early 2017, the 286-room Margaritaville Beach Resort Grand Cayman will feature a coastal-inspired “laid-back” vibe with elements that capture and embrace the local island culture. Highlights of its amenities will be three pools, live entertainment, retail shops, flexible function space, and an impressive food and beverage line-up including the resort’s signature restaurant, YARA, a global steakhouse for resort guests and locals.
