hey!  Going out to the reef in mid may,  been there a few times already but hoping to find work and stay all summer.  Anyone have any advice or tips?  Is it easy to find work/acom?  

hey hey am goin out 2 tenerife at the begginin of may!!

The best bit of accommodation advice I can give you is DO NOT STAY AT SAN RAF. It's a dive and people get robbed quite a lot of the time.

As for jobs and good accommodation just ask around the workers, when I first got there people very really helpful to me and when I was working and people asked me advice I was more than happy to try and help them out.

Just book yourself a 2 week holiday that way you have 2 weeks to find work and see if its for you (cause working abroad is not for everyone, it IS differnt than being on holiday and especially in reef you DO have to work for your money)

Ask in bars for work, if you don't get anywhere in the first week don't give up keep trying.

Go up to The Living Room, it's sorta a wee workers place run by 3 very nice christians from the UK. The Living Room is where you can go for a chat if you av any problems, you can go up and play pool or a board game YES THEY HAVE MONOPOLY!!! Also in The Living Room there is a pin board with jobs and accommodation and Jodie, Wendy and Lee will be more than happy to help you out, they have lived in Tenerife for many years so they know all about the place.

Good luck

GUYS PLEASE LISTEN!!

YOU DO NOT NEED TO PAY ANY COMPANY SUCH AS AIR-PRO OR PLAYAWAY TENERIFE TO DO WHAT YOU CAN DO SO EASILY BY YOURSELF.

I have worked abroad in Tenerife and Magaluff and both times I went all by myself.
The Air Pro hotels that you stay in for a month in both Tenerife and Magaluf are dire, I know them both very well and unless they have changed them for this year I would not advise anyone to book in to them. It's a waste of money.

You do not need accommodation for a month, 2 weeks is enough it gives you time to find your own appartment. Think about it this way if you stay somewhere for a month, by the time the month up it's gonna be harder to get an apartment as the more in to the summer you get the more people who are coming out to work and the less apartments there are avaliable.

I am not going to Tenerife this year, I am going back to Magalluf but if you have any questions just pm me. I'd rather you did it your own way and save money than pay a company who do something that you can easily do yourself.
