TAMPA — The Godfrey Hotel & Cabanas, formerly known as the Bay Harbor Hotel & Conference Center, plans to hire more than 60 part-time staff for its WTR Pool & Grill facility.

After being acquired in 2015 by Chicago-based Oxford Capital Group for $34.5 million, the Rocky Point property underwent extensive renovations, capped by the 20,000-square-foot WTR Pool & Grill venue, which opened last spring.

According to a press release, the resort will hold two job fairs, scheduled for Feb. 1 and 9, where it will seek to hire lifeguards, barbacks, bartenders, bussers, poolside cocktail servers, cabanas boys and girls, floor managers, grill dining servers, security, food runners, expeditors and event ambassadors.
