Where to post hotel jobs in the Caribbean, and what it costs

The short answer: most Caribbean hotels advertise in three places: their own career page, a Caribbean job board, and Facebook or WhatsApp. If you hire on a work permit, the island's government portal and a local newspaper may be required too. Free options exist: one job at a time on Caribbean Hotel Jobs, CHTA's job bank for CHTA members, LinkedIn's one free job, and Facebook groups. Paid single ads on the regional and hospitality job boards we checked cost US$ 249 to US$ 567 each and run for 14 to 30 days.

We run Caribbean Hotel Jobs, one of the options below. Competitor prices are what each site published when we checked on 26 October 2026, and they change, so check before you buy. If anything here is wrong, email hello@caribbeanhoteljobs.com and we will correct it.

Prices per job ad

Indeed has no country site for most Caribbean countries (jm.indeed.com goes to the US site), so check whether it accepts your island before you rely on it.

When a government portal or newspaper is required

Some islands require vacancies to be advertised locally before a work permit is granted. In the Cayman Islands, every vacancy must be posted on the WORC Jobs Portal, and employers must advertise for 21 days, on the portal and in a local newspaper, before applying for a work permit. Other islands have their own rules on advertising to citizens first: see our work permit guide and ask the labour department before you hire from abroad.

What makes a hotel job ad work

• Show the pay. A real figure with the period ("EC$ 2,200 a month") gets more and better applicants than "competitive", and it filters out people who would turn the offer down later.
• Say what comes with it. Service charge or tips, staff housing, meals, transport, uniforms and permit support. These matter as much as the base pay to people moving islands.
• Make it easy to apply from a phone. Most hotel workers job hunt on their phones, often on prepaid data. Ask for a short work history rather than a formatted CV file.
• Reply to everyone. Applicants who hear back, even with a no, apply to you again.
