  Food and Beverage Assistant

  Featuring many great rides and attractions, a range of dining options and a swim-up bar, it is no wonder that Waterbom Bali is ranked as the #1 water park in Asia and #5 in the world.As a waitress and bartender, I was fortunate to be trained in the various dining options they offered, as well as work behind the famous pool bar. Working at the water park allowed me to display my bilingual skills in Indonesian and English, acquire knowledge on how to create tropical cocktails, and practice excellent customer service skills that only a Bali hospitality industry can provide.
