I am looking at moving to the Puerto Plata area I am looking for a job in a spa also looking for an apartment. Right now I live in Canada so I am not sure how hard it is to get a job or housing there. If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Spa Job
I'm moving this to the employment forum. Please read the employment forum. You will soon get an idea of jobs in the DR.
Job First
What kind of job would that be?
In other words, what are your qualifications in that field?
Housing is less difficult than securing a well paid job.
But I'm sure you are not after the money anyhow.

I went to school for Aesthetics at a private Advance Aesthetics college and I got 1 diplomas and 5 certificates. I have worked at a high end spa in Ontario and I now work out of my house. I know going there that the pay is not very high but it is more for the experience and try something new.

Self-Employment
Maybe you can do this here as well.
I guess self-employment may generate a higher income than a job at a hotel.

Beating the Chocolate Competition
On the other hand a good number of residents demanding your services as a free lancer would get you going.
Inside the hotels local staff prevails and a lot of gringa/os seek chocolate staff for their treatment anyway...

I agree.

I do not know, however, whether they do well.

Here in Las Terrenas there are several 'gringos' offering all kind of health services.

Amy, I am also moving from Canada (toronto) in Feb. Looking to share accommodations with one or two people to keep costs down and get a nicer place.
Let me know if you might be interested.

You will find that a job as massage therapist at a hotel will pay 3rd world pay rates like US$200-400 per month and very little comission despite the fact that they charge 1st world rates to the customers. You can get higher paid jobs if the hoteliers or managers know you. You might be able to live off the tips if the spa is busy but don't count on much income working for a hotel or the spa company that runs the spa.
Amy,
Anywhere on the north coast is fine. I will drive to look for a place to buy....doesn't matter where I rent for now.
End of FEB I will be there.
Let me know.
