Dream job in Caribbean up for grabs as you can paid to stay in a luxury hotel

When you think of work, lounging in a hammock at an idyllic seaside resort probably isn't what comes to mind right away.

However, for one month this could be exactly the case for a lucky social media ace as the Boardwalk Boutique Hotel in Aruba is on the hunt for an influencer.

Last year the hotel hired Tess Gerdemann to carry out the exciting role after receiving thousands of applications, reports the Mirror. The hotel threw in airfare, a rental car, and a stipend for Tess during the month, and are now advertising a new opportunity for a savvy social media user.

The Instagram influencer spent the month "grilling fish on the BBQ on my patio, hanging out in my hammock while reading a good book or doing yoga and listening to the birds."

To apply for the position, you have to fill out a form and send in your best photos and videos before June 3.

"We are thrilled to be offering this incredible opportunity once again," Shari Sield, the sales and marketing manager at Boardwalk Boutique Hotel Aruba, told Travel + Leisure.

"Last year’s collaboration with Tess was a huge success, and we received an overwhelmingly positive response from our guests and followers.

"We can't wait to see what this year's content creator will come up with to showcase our hotel and our island."

When asked of her time on the island and what she was expecting, Tess said: "I didn’t really have lot of expectations, instead I tried to just go with the flow.

"Geographically situated in the Caribbean and so far away from The Netherlands, it came as a surprise to me how 'Dutch' Aruba is and, at the same time, how a lot of people speak six languages."

She added: "Every time I walk through the gate it’s so magical, Boardwalk feels like its own far-flung destination. It never feels crowded, even at high occupancy.

"What was especially surprising to me is the number of lizards, birds and wildlife, that Boardwalk takes great care of. Together with all the lush greens, the hotel gardens almost feel like a bird sanctuary."

You can fill out an online form to apply for the sought-after job. The deadline is June 3.
