I want to go work in the Grand Paradise Bavero in Punta Cana but I need help! Can anyone help out a Canadian?
Ken said:What do you mean by needing help?
Anna Coniglio said:What position did you apply for? Hope you know that most positions in a hotel/resort pay very little.
Anna Coniglio said:Are you sitting down? I hear most make around 100 to 150 US dollars a month. Can you live on that?
I understand that you love the country and it's people but why would you like to live so much below your means?. I mean, to each their own, but to want to live like that is beyond me. Why would anybody be satisfied with having no money ever, living with 2 roomates while working almost all the time for just 4 or 5,000 pesos a month. I don't know about anybody else but I would spend much more that that in food a week!. But, by all means, go ahead and do it and I can guarantee that you will learn from your "good" experience.Renee LeBlanc said:The cost of living is way more cheaper then what one dollar in America would bring you. I know that there is an apartement for the workers who work there. I've been there and you room with 2 other people, it's not quite big but whatever. I would just wanna know for sure how that resort pay their workers. If I can't really live on that amount in DR well I won't go work at a resort. But I really want to go work there for a while but I can not think of a place where a Canadian can work. I find that Dominicans are very friendly and I just love there culture. I'm bored in my really boring city hi hi hi I wanna live and experience other things

By ther way, how old are you?, if you don't mind me asking.
I have my own kids to worry about, so, no lectures from me. Do as you please since you are getting an attitude. WE are responding to you because you said that you had applied to a RESORT and that you wanted to work there and that you would live with 2 other people in a small room. Now you are getting annoyed and are now saying that " I don't really want to work at a resort". Make up your mind. Please, do not answer to this post as per I am signing off on your thread!!. Roger and out!Renee LeBlanc said:19, now you going to give me a lecture that i'm too young and blind?

AZB said:Give the little girl a break. She seems to be suffering from Jungle fever. I bet all she wants to do is get laid by those lowlife resort servents and get her rocks off. Is there more to this than anyone seem to care?
Leave her alone and let her find out the reality.
Yeah girl, just follow your heart. Live your dreams. Life is too short to be spent being fat and lonely in your home town.
By the way, if you all haven't noticed, this is the same bimbo who has fallen for a cheap bartender in a punta cana resort (men from mars and women from venus section). These poor losers can't get action back in their own home town or probably can't find a low life hotel servent to go out with. This is what I mean by a trailor-trash mentality, even if you don't live in one. People are not created egual, this is a proof of it. Some people would always look for the ghetto quality friends, no matter where they go. Then act like a perfect victim after when the truth explodes on their face.

Renee LeBlanc said:Excuse me, but i'm not here to get insulted. I am happy to tell you that I am a virgin! So don't you dare call me a bimbo! I am not a looser by the way, and I am not a trailor park trash! I am a high school grad who is saving up to go to University to be a lawyer. I went thru alot in life by loosing my dad by suicide when I was 10 years old. I don't want your pitty if that's what you think i'm looking for! But it's just to show you that I AM A HUMAN BEING and I have feelings you know!!! I am not saying that I really want to go work at this resort I just want to work somewhere in DR. And your little line at the end that I act like a perfect victim, I am one. Cause I am not a bimbo, I did not have sex with him. So when you basically call me a slut that's pretty harsh!
Fiesta Mama said:Renee... lesson #1 - ignore the insults on this board because if you don't have thick skin you just won't survive. Take heed in the advice given - people are just trying to warn you that a lot of girls/guys get taken for a ride when they fall in love or have a relationship with someone in a long distance relationship (and especially when one half of the couple works at a resort surrounded by the temptation to start a new "relationship" every week). Just be very careful.
If you really want to go live there, save enough money to sustain you for a few months while you look for a job once you get there - as it is extremely hard to find one before you go. If you don't find a job, you come home at the end of the two months and will have had a great experience.
