My name is Elan, I'm from Montreal, Canada, and my girlfriend, Marie, is from France.

After nearly two years of construction, we have finally opened a Hotel which consists of 11 rooms - with a capacity of about 27 guests, bar, restaurant, pool & yoga shala.
We're looking for people to help us out in the hotel with the reception and guest relations!
